Synopsis: A group of four lifelong friends have gained notoriety for their underground graffiti artwork in the small city of Portland Maine, painting under the crew name “Human Zoo.” The group is known for their obscure limitless style that has covered the city streets for nearly 8 years.. The story revolves around the life of the main character Simon, a Mass College of Art drop out turned graffiti artists struggling with personal demons and an oxycontin addiction. Carlos, Simon’s closest friend has started painting over a sinister local groups graffiti tags against the wishes of Simon and the rest of the crew. What starts as a gag quickly turns into a nightmare as Simon finds his life spiraling out of control.

Character BIOS

SIMON [GENDER: Male] [AGE: 22-28]
Simon is a good-hearted kid coming from a modest background, but is surrounded by all the wrong people and influences. Simon lives alone in a dilapidated apartment on the Munjoy Hill neighborhood of Portland. Since he was kicked out of Mass College of Art 2 years prior for poor grades he has returned to his closest child hood friends, continuing to paint under their high school crew name “Human Zoo.” Simon has recently become addicted to the drug oxycontin, after his closest friend Carlos turned him onto it as a small time drug dealer. Simon fights personal demons, trying to break out of the working class community of Portland’s waterfront to follow his dreams of being a professional artist while insurmountable forces push against him in every direction.

CARLOS [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 22-28]
Carlos is a short scrappy young adult with a bad attitude and even worse habits. Growing up in one of the lowest income sectors of town, Riverton Park, Carlos never had opportunities or positive role models. Hardened by the street life and a poor abusive upbringing Carlos finds sanctuary painting graffiti with his child hood friends. Without a job Carlos has resorted to selling oxycontin, while unknowingly addicting his closest friend Simon at his lowest point. Carlos’s bad habits put the entire crew in jeopardy, defacing their established underground reputation as the most talented graffiti crew in town.

SHIBS [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 23-28]
Shibs is a wise cracking confident young adult with strong intellect behind his sarcastic joking behavior. He is the third member of the Human Zoo. His presence as a close friend is more import to the crew than his actual artistic merit, typically just following Simon’s lead.

POULIN [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 24-28]
Poulin is the 4th and oldest member of the Human Zoo. His role in the group is less artistic, he acts as the producer, finding locations and specs on the groups upcoming illegal murals.

REPORTER [GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 25-35]
A small time reporter for a local Portland publication “The Bollard.” The un- named reporter interviews Simon anonymously about his life and trials as an infamous local graffiti artist. The interview she conducts provides back-story for Simon’s life and is intercut throughout the film. She is sympathetic to his pitfalls but also confronts Simon with difficult questions about the ramifications and consequences of his lifestyle and behavoir.

The producers of Say Yes to the Dress and Real Housewives DC are seeking Boston area WOMEN who are starting or already run their own business- ideally event planners, caterers, boutique owners, salon owners, or anything that provides a visually interesting back drop.

This project is for development for a major cable network with a predominantly female viewership. Once we find the right "cast", the premise of the show will build around them. The network has asked that we find all kinds of great looking women with engaging personalities, in their early 20's to early 30's (but age is flexible for great stories and personalities!) and again, don't hide that Massachusetts accent! This is an unusual opportunity to be involved in the earliest stages of a TV series, and we need great women to ensure it is a hit!

Interesting facts about you (marital status, education, outrageous stories, what drove you to go on this business venture, the more I know, the better!)

This is for casting only, please no responses seeking production work!
