Breakdowns
below
Silas (lead)
Late 20s/30s, conman, confidence & street
charm oozing from his pores. A gleam in his eye
and a mischievous grin, he’s always looking
for a shortcut. Living by a hustler’s code
of “You either do the taking or get taken”,
Silas attempts to corrupt Jules – an innocent
soul on Earth. But as Silas closes in on his goal,
Silas begins to think the real con may be on him.

role. Charisma and charm a must! 21 days commitment

Mid 20s, copywriter, a tightly wound ball of string
about to unravel. Caring, beautiful and good hearted,
Jules’s frustrations mount as her unethical
co-workers climb the corporate ladder. When Silas
unearths her darker side, Jules steadily abandons
her ethics and rises up the corporate ladder,
becoming more ruthless with each step. Will the
soul sucking ambition bring down Jules or will
she find a way to rediscover herself? A great
opportunity for an actress to show a great deal
of range and endear herself to the audience. Likeability,
inner strength, vulnerability, and screen presence
are essential. 18 day commitment

being played. Strong screen presence is essential
