Synopsis:
One wintry Sunday in a council flat; a young, protective Cole must suck up his pride and enjoy a roast with his mother (Michelle) and her controversial new boyfriend JB. After years of hearing stories about JB and his shady past, Cole is apprehensive of his mother’s choice. This dinner is the start of an uncertain relationship…
Character BIOS
[COLE] [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 18-20]
Cole is our lead. A confused young man who has lived with his single mum most of his life. He aspires to become a musician. It is the one thing that holds his chaotic world together, his world that is built on the makeshift male influences he has used to fill the void of his father’s absence. The world of crime and pain that he must leave behind to grow.
[MICHELLE] [GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 35-45]
A caring, amazing single mother. She balances her work as a cleaner and a cash-in-hand ironing service from home to give Cole the best chance at life. After holding back on her life for years, she has finally met someone that is worth opening the conversation with Cole. Although she knows it will be difficult, she trusts it’ll work out.
[JB] [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 35-45]
Half man, half myth JB’s name carries many burdens in the community. From stories of extreme violence to gangster-esque tales of how he made his fortune. In reality, he has a huge heart that has been dispirited for years, perhaps it’s time to give it another chance? He knows he is esteemed in the underworld but isn’t proud of it. This role requires a guitar performance along with some vocals. Details can be discussed further before auditions.
Producer note:
This is a project we have had in development for coming up to a year now! They may come across as a warning sign but as COVID presented us with delays to the planning of this film, I think we, and especially Connor have used the time well to make sure we were using the right short story from the feature that he has written. The short is something I’m very excited to get underway and I have a lot of belief that this authentic and free-flowing story will have success with audiences. I hope to see you at the auditions in March!
