SEEKING:
DOROTHY – Any Ethnicity, female, 65yrs+. A force to be reckoned with, Dorothy, both rebellious and defiant, has a love of self-pity, and is used to being her own boss. Newly entrapped in a nursing home, she preoccupies herself with exacting her wrath on all who cross her path. Anger cannot hold off her loneliness and lost independence forever leaving Dorothy open to a new friendship.
Smoking scene included (herbal cigarettes).
Shoots 3 days. $200/day. Most likely, Wednesday June 14th, Thursday June 15th, & Friday June 16th.
RUTH – Any Ethnicity, female, 65yrs+. Young at heart, living life to the fullest despite being in a home. The kind of woman who always sends birthday cards, & sneaks her grandkids money. Ruth’s infallible optimism is put the test by everyone around her, but her optimism cannot conquer loss and loneliness alone. Always open to creating new friendships.
Smoking scene included (herbal cigarettes).
Shoots 2 days. $200/day. Most likely, Wednesday June 14th, Thursday June 15th.
KAREN – Any Ethnicity, female, mid 40’s. Athletic and fit, a runner. Testy HOA/PTA member type. Busy-body. Runs a tight ship in the nursing home where she works. She presents a “kindness” that is noticeably fake. Usually invades the space of the women at the retirement home, but doesn’t blink an eye to any animosity thrown her way. She’s like Nurse Ratched but without any real power. Endorphin fix from her daily run is mandatory, rain or shine.
Shoots 3 days. $100/day . Most likely, Wednesday June 14th, Thursday June 15th, & Friday June 16th.
