An actor goes into an open call but misses an important detail in the character description.

Director’s Vision for ‘Main Character Energy’

I was drawn to the script for its underlying humor that dangles over a complicated and all-too current subject matter, gender and the role it plays in the entertainment industry (and society at large) and how it impacts our characters who have never had to question their identity before this moment. These actors are forced to make themselves vulnerable to the role they don’t see themselves in even if it means adopting uncomfortable and absurd truths. Instead of running away from the subject, we wanted to challenge ourselves and the audience to embrace the conversation head on. Our incredibly talented cast and crew brought these characters to life by walking the tight path we laid out for them. I hope audiences can take away the underlying message in this short farce written by my frequent collaborator Nicholas Begnaud.
