A diminutive tyrant with thick glasses that enlarge his eyes into grotesque orbs. He thrives on control over the smallest things and explodes with childlike rage when disobeyed. His authority is theatrical and petty, the kind that's frightening because it's so absurd. He should feel like a bureaucrat promoted beyond his competence. Constantly sweaty. FEATURED ROLE. FILMING DATE: 12/6/25. $100 flat, half day of filming.
A weary, long-suffering partner tethered to her domineering husband. She appears like a faded relic of another era, dolled up, but trapped in decay. SUPPORTING ROLE. FILMING DATES: 12/8/25 & 12/9/25. $100 flat, 1.5 filming days.
