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.
