Unfinished Works – Feature Film
Casting "Unfinished Works." Synopsis: The story of a writer that takes place mainly in her office and in her mind. It is a quirky tale of the internal struggle of dealing with our own worst enemy; one's self. Many types and faces are needed to make this film a reality. Some of the characters living inside her head are simply named Buff Man 1 or Girl, but that doesn't diminish their significance. This is a low budget indie film, that is a passion project. We plan to enter it in the festival circuit with hopes of distribution.
