The story centers on a group of teenagers and their families. Many supporting parts are still available as well as recurring roles.
Important Information:
“Proper Manors” is intended to be a 22-min. Weekly web soap opera.
Many of the lead characters will be “on contract” meaning that, if cast, we must know what is going on with you. The project (in essence a TV series for the web) will be shooting weekly – mostly on weekends but there may be exceptions.
Every character has been developed to be a part of the tapestry in the town of Proper, USA. Even the smallest roles can develop into front burner story lines and lead characters can be written out any time. The show is intended for a mature audience and would probably be categorized as TV-M (Mature Audiences).
There is NO nudity nor will we be using the F-bomb, however there will be other profanity occasionally and adult situations. The characters on the soap, much like the real world, are diverse – all ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations and political persuasions. We will not modify characters based on actor's moral or religious input as the characters themselves “live” in a different world and everything, loosely based on reality, is fictional. Of course, the characters will be evolving/developing and changing based on what they experience as a character living in Proper. Any familiarity of any person living or dead is purely coincidental.
***NOTE: MUST BE WILLING TO WORK AS A UTAH LOCAL HIRE!

MATTHEW BRIGHTMAN- mid 40's, father to Samantha Brightman, Caucasian, married to Cynthia Brightman. Politician in Proper and is part of the "good old boy" network.

He is easily influenced and is somewhat corrupt, based on his prior choices in his 20's, strives to create a perfect community and home yet battles his own demons that sabotage him when he tries to break free or think differently. He is attractive, polite and a great spokesperson, but has become so mired down in his family name and what it means in the history of Proper that he's unable to embrace change out of fear that he will lose his role in the community.
