MILO - [GENDER: MALE] [ETHNICITY: ANY] [AGE: 25-39]

memory loss. In the time since, he has become paranoid and obsessive –
maybe for good reason. - 5 FILMING DAYS + 1 V/O SESSION


ANYA - [GENDER: FEMALE] [ETHNICITY: ANY] [AGE: 20-29]

Singer, songwriter, and bassist of post-punk trio The Utensils, and the
only one who’s trying to make a career in music. The closest thing Milo has
to a friend, against her better judgment. - 2 FILMING DAYS


LIAM - [GENDER: MALE] [ETHNICITY: ANY] [AGE: 20-29]

The playful and sarcastic drummer of The Utensils. - 1 FILMING DAY


ROB - [GENDER: MALE] [ETHNICITY: ANY] [AGE: 20-29]

The moody and uncomfortable guitarist of The Utensils. - 1 FILMING DAY


SMOKER - [GENDER: ANY] [ETHNICITY: ANY] [AGE: 30-60]

A friendly but passerby who needs a light. Has strong opinions about the
effects of ultraviolet light on tobacco. - 1 FILMING DAY


DEALER - [GENDER: ANY] [ETHNICITY: ANY] [AGE: 21-30]

Not a lifer, just a burnout who sells Adderall on the side for some extra
cash. Stoned enough to take Milo’s erratic behavior in stride. - 1 FILMING
DAY
