Storyline
Film#1: Closer Than We Should Be
When a massive snowstorm traps 24-year-old MAYA alone with her father's recently divorced best friend GABRIEL, she hatches a plan with her friend SIENNA to seduce him to make him leave. But what starts as a calculated game to get back at her controlling father becomes dangerously real when emotional walls fall and forbidden feelings ignite. A tense, intimate two-hander about desire, control, and choosing what you want over what you should want.
Film#2: Til' Fraud Do Us Part
When ERICA mistakes her future mother-in-law for the housekeeper and humiliates her with spilled wine, ALISON knows immediately: this woman is all wrong for her son. As DANNY's trust fund drains and his behavior turns sluggish, Alison discovers the horrifying truth—Erica has been drugging him, forging documents, and stealing his inheritance. A razor-sharp thriller about a mother's intuition facing off against a sociopath in designer heels.

Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Maya Chambers (Film#1) and Erica (Film#2) | Female 30 - 39 Years old |
Description Film#1: Closer Than We Should BeMAYA CHAMBERS (Lead) Age: 24 Height: Any Physical Appearance: Sharp, defiant, calculating. Natural beauty with guarded expression that shifts between playful seduction and raw vulnerability. Description: A grad student who resents her controlling father and weaponizes seduction as rebellion until real vulnerability cracks through. Requires an actor who can shift from playful manipulation to raw emotional breakdown to genuine intimacy. Must balance stubborn defiance with the moment her walls come down. *This role requires intimate scenes including passionate kissing and close physical contact. Implied nudity and sexual content but nothing explicit or simulated—talent can wear whatever they're comfortable with underneath blankets/covers. H/M/W: DAY 1 (Scenes 1-3): Casual work-from-home comfort—jeans, cozy socks, oversized sweater. Underneath: thin black silk cami (revealed when sweater comes off). Hair up in top bun initially, then down (loose waves). Minimal makeup, natural. NIGHT 1 (Scene 4): Sleepwear—crop top and sleep shorts. Hair down. Minimal makeup. Cozy socks. DAY 2 (Scene 5 & Series of Shots): Casual day clothes—different sweater or long-sleeve top, jeans or leggings. Hair down or pulled back loosely. Natural makeup. Same outfit, increasingly disheveled through Series of Shots. DAY 3 (Scene 6): Morning after—wrapped in blanket initially (bare shoulders visible), then dressed in fresh casual clothes (jeans, fitted top). Hair slightly tousled. Minimal makeup. Film#2: Til' Fraud Do Us Part ERICA (Lead) Age: 32 (Late 20s/early 30s) Height: Any Physical Appearance: Immaculately dressed, polished, commanding presence. Projects wealth and sophistication. Description: A con artist posing as Danny's fiancée, targeting his trust fund with surgical precision. Erica is a master manipulator who weaponizes charm, tears, and cruelty depending on what the moment requires. Smug and confident until cornered, she moves through the world like someone who's never been caught—until now. Must play calculated coldness while maintaining surface charm, chemistry with Danny that reads as performative rather than genuine, and escalating tension with Alison. H/M/W: NIGHT 1 (Scenes 1-4): Immaculate designer dress/outfit, perfect hair and makeup, expensive jewelry, polished appearance throughout NIGHT 1 (Scene 5): Same or similar upscale outfit, maintained perfection DAY 2 (Scenes 6-9): Wedding dress (Scene 6), then changes to casual-but-expensive clothes (Scenes 7-9) | ||

Description Film#1: Closer Than We Should BeGABRIEL HART (Lead) Age: 48 (Mid to late 40s) Height: Any Physical Appearance: Controlled, guarded, vulnerable beneath. Salt-and-pepper hair, authoritative presence with "silver fox" appeal. Clean-shaven or neatly trimmed facial hair. Description: A recently divorced architect sent by Maya’s father to check on her during a storm. Successful and authoritative, fighting hard to maintain boundaries—until he can't. Requires an actor who can project restrained desire, paternal firmness, and emotional breakdown without losing the character's decency. Must make his internal conflict believable while navigating "silver fox" appeal. *This role requires intimate scenes including passionate kissing and close physical contact. Must be comfortable removing shirt/being shirtless on camera. Implied sexual content but nothing explicit or simulated—talent can wear whatever they're comfortable with underneath blankets/covers. H/M/W: DAY 1 (Scenes 1-3): Long coat (dressier, not sporty) - removed after entrance - button-down shirt (dark colors), dark jeans or chinos. Overnight bag. Salt-and-pepper hair slightly disheveled from travel. Clean-shaven or neatly trimmed facial hair. NIGHT 1 (Scene 4): Pajamas—silky bottoms, fitted tank or v-neck night shirt.

Film#2: Til' Fraud Do Us Part DANNY (Lead) Age: Late 30s (mid 30s/early 40s) Height: Any Physical Appearance: Eager, kind-faced, somewhat naive in demeanor. Description: Erica's fiancé and target, a lonely man with a trust fund who's been manipulated and drugged. Danny's journey moves from defensive denial through drugged confusion to devastating realization and relief. Requires ability to play genuine love that's misplaced, physical effects of sedation (glassy eyes, swaying, slow reactions), escalating anger as truth emerges, and ultimate vulnerability with his mother. Critical: must make the audience sympathize with his blindness without making him pathetic, show gradual physical deterioration from drugging, then explosive confrontation with Erica.
