different backgrounds, all of whom end up telling us about

themselves than we ever needed to know.

the world revolves around her. She is oblivious to the fact that

has come as a result of luck. Thinks that any story she tells is

the most interesting story ever told.
RAYLEEN: (Female, 25-­‐45; Lead) Slightly eccentric woman who

hails from small-­‐town Tennessee. She grew up on the farm and

doesn’t have a clue as to how to play the acting game. The

actress chosen for this role needs to be comfortable speaking

with a Southern accent.
GEORGE: (Male, 25-­‐45; Lead) A guy who looks tough on the

outside, but tends to be very emotional, especially when it comes

to his childhood and his family. Frustrated that he keeps getting

cast according to his look. When he is stressed, he shows signs

of a personality disorder.
Compensation:
To be determined, pending approval of SAG New Media contract (pay

may be deferred). All selected actors will receive
