Answer
Me
THE NITTY-GRITTY
Answer Me is not quite a “found-footage” film but it is similar, so having a cast of unknown but great actors plays into the concept of the film. And it's going to be an unorthodox, guerrilla style, non-union production. So we are looking for people who will embrace this with the drive and dedication needed to help make Answer Me the next great indie film.

THE CHARACTERS
**The race of each character is open**
DARREN – (mid-30s to late 40s) Besieged businessman, onscreen the bulk of the film, must have the screen presence to captivate the audience and the ability to convey a wide range of emotions. If "emotional rollercoaster" weren't a cliché, it would be used here.
TONI / THE VOICE – (late-teens to 20s) The diabolical hacker who can go from sweet and affable to angry and commanding in no time flat. Her voice is in 90% of the film. She also physically appears in a few scenes but her face is never revealed. However, she will be the face of the aforementioned marketing campaign. In many ways, this is her movie.
MOLLY – (mid to late 20s) Darren’s wife, innocent on the surface with a hint of something underneath. She goes on an emotional ride every bit as wild as Darren's. This is the most physically demanding role of the film as she spends a good chunk of it chained up and terrorized. There are also a few sex scenes and nudity required. To play her, you'll need to be comfortable with these scenes which will be fully discussed before anyone is offered the role.
KENNETH – Toni's masked henchman, large menacing presence but with some good lines (if I do say so myself).
GRACE – Darren’s hard-working, little bit feisty secretary. She even has a bit of a hero moment.
BILL – Darren's innuendo-spouting asshole boss, gruff but with humor, must be able to take a fall.
MATTHEW – (20s to mid-30s) Molly's lover, sex scenes and some nudity required. Matthew only has a couple of scripted lines, so submit a monologue of your choosing and/or links to your reel or portfolio.
