Comments
These three roles will be cast based on headshot/resumé/demo reel—there are no auditions/self-tapes. This is an ACTRA MIP and ACTRA actors will be considered first. This is a good opportunity to meet and work with a good number of local talent. Drinks, snacks and meal provided. Footage provided, including other takes. The role of Carl Menmen does have an honorarium, but not the other roles.
Storyline
A young woman from 'the wrong side of the tracks' claws her way to becoming a public defense lawyer.
