Comments
This production contains both scripted and improvised dialogue. Performances should feel natural and unscripted. Improvisation and comfort in intimate, observational filming environments are essential. Filming will take place in London, Ontario; local performers will be prioritized. Actors we are interested in will be asked to self-tape, we will send them a link through the system.
Storyline
At the quiet border between rural farmland and the chaotic spectacle of Niagara Falls, a 23-year-old woman who drives seniors for a living confronts the pressure to “dream big” as her friends prepare to leave town—while she longs for a small, steady life of her own choosing.
