Title: Unearthing Iris

Genre: Drama

Logline: A gentle giant of a gardener protects the botanical garden’s wishing fountain from his coworker’s greed and pragmatism.

Cast Breakdown:

BENJAMIN WOODROW (67) is a real Hagrid type–he’s gruff, rugged, and physically imposing, but beyond the beard and lumbering size, he truly wouldn’t hurt a fly. Benjamin has always believed in magic, but not the flashy kind–more the kind you find in everyday wonders.

EMMA WILDER (19) approaches the world with a sort of desperation. Her mindset is very “eat or be eaten.” Sometimes, under the quiet cover of darkness, she dreams of beautiful things–the things of an unworried, unhurried life. As it stands in the light, though, she tramps down her hopes and dreams and puts her head down, approaching each day with a strict pragmatism.
