The following are short character descriptions as given by the writer
and director of this short film.

Characters:

Louise (Lead): Female, 17 – 22
Witty, stubborn, and seemingly confident. Quick to speak, Louise isn’t
afraid to state her opinions with a wry smile and dazzling wit. Think
a Lorelia Gilmore, 10 years younger. Buried underneath the bravado is
a deep insecurity and pension for lying.

John (Lead): Male, 17 – 22
A Pensive poet confident in his talents (whether or not he possesses
said talents). Charming and personable as hell. He speaks with great
bravado, like a talent on the stage; in reality, he is not as smart or
impressive as he thinks himself to be.

Wesley Holmes (Lead): Male, 24 – 60
The suave, charming, well spoken WWAY Local news reporter, who also
serves as the narrator of our story. A face made for television, a
dazzling smile, and a deep, projecting voice. Though detached from the
couple, Holmes is invested in the well being of both John and Louise.

Please feel free to contact me via email for any additional
information.
