Seeking Actors/Actresses for Dramedy Feature Film-Incautious (Chicago, IL)

A stay-at-home mother struggles to watch over her children as she finds herself addicted to alcohol and other drugs. A broken man takes out his anguish on his wife and children.

Goals for the Project:

I am trying to create a slow burning, tense, thought provoking, dramedy story with very complex characters that convey a wide range of emotions. In addition to giving extensive verbal notes during rehearsals, I provide in-depth written character notes regarding their past along with a Scene-by-Scene analysis for each character. I possess a very close attention to detail and specific vision regarding my characters. I am a very calm person who will never yell at actors/actresses or crew and will treat everyone with the most respect.

Breakdown:

Jen Eaton (Mark and Sarahs Mom) (Female)-20s-60s (Lead):

Warm, upbeat and friendly, but also a bit neurotic and emotional (which becomes heightened when she is under the influence of alcohol or other substances), Jennifer gets along with most of her peers and always does her best to make sure that everyone around her is taken care of. She has strong body posture, speaks at a normal pace and smiles often.

Mark Eaton (Male)-8-16 (Lead):

Kind and loyal, but stubborn and defensive, Mark is a great ally to those he cares about but can be hostile when bullied into a corner. He speaks calmly and slowly, unless he feels that he is being attacked, in which the volume and speed of his voice increase drastically.

Clyde Briggs (Jimmy and Katies Dad) (Male)-20s-60s (Lead):

Sharp, intelligent and full of personality, Clyde is fierce and charismatic, but his negative outlook on life, impatient attitude and horrible temper often alienate himself from others. He speaks very fast and loudly.

Jimmy Briggs (Male)-8-16 (Lead):

Fun, loud, energetic and passionate, but also a bit selfish and emotional at times, Jimmy is often the center of attention as he shares his hobbies and interests with his wide circle of friends, especially Mark. He speaks quickly and is very animated with his facial expressions and hand gestures.

Cool, calm and very passionate about sports, Katie often hangs out with the boys and can more than handle her own on the sports field. She laughs and smiles often but rarely conveys much emotion beyond that.

Matt Eaton (Mark and Sarahs Dad) (Male)-20s-60s (Lead):

Calm, quiet and quite agreeable, but also blunt and ill-tempered at times, Matt is a very easygoing guy who prioritizes keeping others around him happy but will put his foot down when needed and is the last person who you want to start a fight with. He has strong body posture, eye contact, and he speaks slowly and calmly.

Kristen Briggs (Jimmy and Katies Dad) (Female)-20s-60s (Lead):

Kind and warm on the inside, but loud, angry, impatient and intense on the surface, Kristen can be quite intimidating, particularly while being pushed into a corner by her husband Clyde. She has strong body posture, a loud voice and one of the most intense screams imaginable.

Shy, kind and easygoing, but also a bit overly sensitive, Sarah is the adorable little sister that everyone would hope for. She speaks softly and slowly.

Courtney (Female)-20s-60s (Lead):

Intelligent and caring, but stoic, Courtney is a great listener who has plenty of compassion, even if she sometimes has trouble conveying this fact. She has stiff body posture, speaks calmly and slowly.

Tyler (Mark and Sarahs First Cousin) (Male)-18-30s (Support):

Upbeat and energetic, Tyler is a fun spirited individual who gets along well with others but is a bit of a troublemaker who sometimes bends the rules. He speaks fast and smiles and laughs frequently.

Intelligent, charismatic and honest, but also defensive and ill tempered, Dylan is someone who you want on your side and definitely someone you do not want to start an argument with. He talks a lot, reacts quickly and speaks fast.
