*Synopsis:*
An accident from Nadia's young adulthood has wiped away her memory of the
last six years. To help her recover, Nadia’s mother frequently takes her to
an expansive self-help group. The longer she retains her memory, however,
the more Nadia begins to question her involvement in the group.

*Character BIOS*

[NADIA] [GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 18-25] [estimated 3-4 days of shooting]

Tries to be honest with herself and is always pragmatic, never hesitating
to make a decision in which she believes. The honesty is largely undercut,
however, by a lingering sense of insecurity about living up to the
standards and beliefs set forth by her mother.

[JACOB] [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 20-30] [estimated 1-2 days of shooting]

Scraggly facial hair/beard and unkempt hair as a result of living out in
the woods in relative isolation.  Has a genuine charm, humility, and
intelligence about him, which allows Jacob to skillfully hide his
subconscious sense of self-importance. Although he tries to be honest with
himself and has good intentions, the trials and tribulations of Jacob’s
lonely situation has left him in a constant battle between pride and
desperation.

[NADIA'S MOTHER] [GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 30-65] [estimated 2-3 days of
shooting]

Scrupulous in her principled lifestyle and in her devotion to family. She
is good-natured but sometimes allows her deep-seeded fear of the unknown to
guide her decisions and beliefs. (note - although not formally named,
Nadia's mother features prominently in the screenplay)

[BAUTA (nickname)] [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 30-65] [estimated 1-2 days of
shooting]

Narcissistic but with an undeniable and manipulative charisma, Bauta's
extraordinary intelligence and calculated decisions are only stunted by his
grandiose self delusions. Who better to lead a self-help group?

*The film will be shot on a *Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera*, receive
festival distribution, and be edited and distributed to those involved in a
timely manner.

As stated above, please email *pnb22 at case.edu <pnb22 at case.edu>* to schedule
an audition or if you have any questions.
