Spinsters Film LLC is seeking submissions for an upcoming Moderate Low Budget Film titled Spinsters.
- Max Lozapone (LEAD): White, male, 70’s-80’s. Retired literature professor with a quote for every occasion. Loves opera and intellect and his deceased wife. He has high standards and little patience. Recently, he is aware of the decline in his own mental faculties. He’d rather isolate than ask for help, which poses a problem when his daughter, whom he loves but doesn’t understand, appears on his doorstep.
- Ethel St. Clair (LEAD): Black, female. 85 going on 29. The eternal party girl who’s left asking where’d everybody go? Sharp, sassy with a taste for sherry and adventure, she has no off switch and mourns her priest-daughter’s solitary life.
- Fenetre Quinn (LEAD): Non-white, Multi-Racial or Multi-ethnic, female identifying, 16 years old. Any body type or size. Smart, observant old soul with an unusual imagination, she has never aspired to fit the typical teenage mold either physically or socially. Awkward in her own skin, she’s quite happy on her own and would rather study the properties of sugar than ride a bike. Despite the loss of her mother three years ago, she’s determined to define her life herself.
- Jaime Quinn (LEAD): Any ethnicity, male identifying, 50s. Dad, widower, former musician (ideally able to sing a little and strum a few chords on a guitar or keyboard), bar owner and avid biker. Despite deep loss (including a strained bond with his daughter) he’s held onto his cheeky boyish charm and a few small-town dreams.
- Sterling Raphael (LEAD): Any ethnicity, male identifying, 40s. Impossibly handsome romance writer with a disarming innocence and sincerity. Fascinated by people’s stories, he can charm them out of even the most reticent introvert.
- DJ: Any ethnicity, female identifying or non-binary, 18-25. Not your typical bluegrass-type. Positive and upbeat. Loves all things music and has big aspirations of her own.
- Rector/Presiding Priest: Any ethnicity, male or female. 60s-70s. Patient, but pragmatic. Compassionate as long as it doesn’t disrupt the status quo, however there may be more wisdom in their decisions than first meets the eye.
- Whitey Leroux: White, male, 70s-80s. Think ZZ Top only bluegrass performer. He and his mountain boys were a big deal 30 years ago and they’re back on tour, as cocky as ever.
- Mountain Boy: White, male identifying, 70s-80s. Bluegrass band member. Whitey LeRoux’s sidekick, chip off the same block.
