10 roles
The show’s overconfident student director hellbent on making a revolutionary pilot despite her crappy budget. Her creative drive and superhuman ambition are both her strength and her downfall. Friendly, crafty, optimistic, and willing to do whatever it takes to make creative greatness happen. LEAD.
The show’s overworked, frazzled, and paranoid producer. Lives by the rules and panics when they’re broken. Needs to be listened to and respected; with this group, he never is. Never goes with the flow. Hates the flow. LEAD.
The program’s fratty and frenetic cinematographer with no filter. The type of guy with an Astroworld poster in his dorm. Needs to be perceived as cool, but he’s never desperate about it. Unserious, hyperactive, and a little dopey. SUPPORTING.
Jessie’s best friend and assistant director. The type of girl with a ”hot girls hit curbs” bumper sticker. Needs to be part of everything, prone to FOMO. Supportive, sassy, loves to spill tea and take sides. SUPPORTING.
Self described “dream blunt rotation” member. The pilot’s unfocused sound mixer. Spacey, laid-back, and a bit of a nut with a heart of gold. SUPPORTING.
The show’s self-assured lead actress who’s set on making it big and focused on nothing else. The type to method act for a TikTok. Desperately needs to be recognized for her self-proclaimed many talents. Pretentious, passionate, and ditzy. SUPPORTING.
The strict, film-obsessed dean of the film school. Cooper’s emotionally distant, divorced dad. DAY-PLAYER.
