GENRE<\/span><\/u><\/strong>: Crime Comedy. 15 pages.<\/span><\/p>\n

LOG LINE<\/span><\/u><\/strong>: In the aftermath of a desperate girl\u2019s scheme to pay rent, she\u2019s given reason to believe that perhaps her plan did not work out as smoothly as she had thought and must prepare to face the consequences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CHARACTERS<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

KELSEY: Female, 20s. Any ethnicity. Attractive, witty, smart, and independent, but a bit reckless when blinded by her own ambitions. While she would love to explore who she is and what she wants to do with her life (which is what she moved to LA to do), she already has plenty on her plate with simply trying to keep her head above water financially. She tries to remain positive, viewing her job as a barista as strictly temporary, and constantly reminding her best friend and roommate, Gwen, that they will surely be able to move somewhere less shitty in no time.\u00a0 (LEAD) \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GWEN: Female, early 20s. Caucasian (tall, slender, blonde). Kelsey\u2019s distractingly beautiful long-time best friend.\u00a0 She\u2019s kind of fumbling through life at the moment like a doe on ice. While awaiting her big break as an actress, she\u2019s just trying to get by and still keep an optimistic outlook on LaLa land. She\u2019s ambitious, kind, funny, and incredibly loyal when it comes to her friendship with Kelsey.\u00a0 (SUPPORTING)<\/span><\/p>\n

BELLE FLOCKER: Female, 14-18 to play 15. Any ethnicity. A perfectly manicured teenage girl used to getting everything that she wants. She\u2019s the classic queen-bee type: cruel and ambitious with a brutal wit. However, underneath her bitchy, shallow exterior, she craves a display of real love from her father that goes beyond an allowance or gifts. (SUPPORTING)<\/span><\/p>\n

DAVID FLOCKER: Male, 40s. Any ethnicity. A tall and well-dressed silver fox. He\u2019s self-important and views people who are less successful than he is as lesser humans. He loves his daughter, Belle, endlessly and gives her practically anything she wants, but struggles to show is affection for is little princess in more meaningful ways.\u00a0 (SUPPORTING)<\/span><\/p>\n

WAITER: Male, 20s. Any ethnicity. A gawky, nervous young fellow who seeks to please.\u00a0 (FEATURED)<\/span><\/p>\n
