Audition Location:
The Art Institute of Salt Lake City
Second Floor, Room 230
121 Election Road
Draper, UT 84020


Shooting Dates: Wednesday, May 21st; Wednesday, May 28th.

Production Name: Restless (Working Title)
Genre: Drama
Target Length: 5-6 minutes
Talent Needed: Male Lead 20-30, Female Lead 20-30
Compensation: Non-Paid (craft services will be provided on shoot)

What We Are Looking For:
- As aforementioned, we need two leads, one male and one female. We prefer talent in the mid-20's to early-30's bracket. The roles are an emotionally strained husband and wife, at a breaking point of their marriage.

- Further info on the roles: Scott is a man so entrenched in his work that everything else around him is a convenient fall back. Tenille, however, is hurting from the benign neglect she receives from her husband, feeling underappreciated.

- Current screenplay is 5-pages, mostly light on dialog until the end with the argument scene -- so talent with some memorizations skills are a big boon. There is one sequence in the script that will call for some intimate interaction between the leads that before the action fades out.
