We're collaborating with Make a Wish to create a short film for a 14-year-old girl from Clarksville, MD.

The story explores themes of letting go, finding one's true self, and understanding reality. It centers on Candace, who drifts through her days on autopilot. When she is suddenly deprived of her phone, schedule, and routines, she finds herself compelled to pause and reconnect with the world around her. This unexpected stillness takes her on an unforeseen journey.

Dates

This will shoot in the DC Metro area during the week of August 17.

Title

Older Woman

Content

A warm, talkative stranger in a grocery store checkout line who strikes up an easy, unselfconscious conversation with the lead. She's kind and a little scattered, hopping between topics without much need for reciprocation. She's the type of person who finds connection effortless.

Small but pivotal role, she needs warmth, natural chattiness, and impeccable timing on that final beat, which should feel completely unforced.
