Casting “God’s Gift,” a Chapman MFA thesis. 

Willow (29) is a conscientious, diligent plantswoman and marijuana grower. Her careful and methodical approach has gained recognition throughout the world of legal and illegal growing and selling. Fresh out of a botched engagement, Willow plans to move on with her life and business until she realizes that her ex-fiancé, Sean (29) is spying on her via Cassidy (21), a long-time client along the illegal route, and doesn’t plan on leaving the business as easy as she hoped. Never the one to go down without a fight, Willow lures Cassidy in and convinces her to be a pawn in her plot to get rid of Sean for once and for all.

Cassidy, 18 to 25 years old, Black female. Sweet, sensitive, quick on her feet drug dealer who gets caught between Willow & Sean’s mess. Masculine and dominant, yet naive in the most unsuspecting of ways.
