"How To Get Back To The Forest" Upcoming Movie Audition

Lead. (Female, early 40s) has submitted herself to life: she works a monotonous job, comes home to a husband she doesn't care for, and mindlessly repeats the cycle every day. That is, until she sees her childhood best friend, Cee, on a wanted poster. Jamie is reminded of her days at government-mandated Camp Horizon, where she and Cee, mystical Cee, burned bright: unruly, blooming, ecstatic, connected only to nature, to each other, and to their own selves. Rate: US$200 flat rate

Lead. (Female, 14) has just arrived at government-mandated Camp Horizon, where the State takes on the parental role and molds a generation.

Cee shows her that and more, as well as a metal bug implanted into the lining of her esophagus. Not Paid
