Decibel Feature Film

Storyline: A struggling singer-songwriter gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with a tech-obsessed music producer, but her art and life are put in peril when she is forced to help create a dangerous new artificial intelligence.

[SCOUT] Character is female presenting, any ethnicity and appears age 25-35. She has wild hair and truly believes you must be a starving artist to pay your dues. She lives in a small artists’ collective apartment full of instruments, wires, and a twin mattress on the floor. Her stuff is scrapped up and well used/worn. She is an obsessive multi-instrumentalist who makes all her own music, looping her sounds with pedals. She finds melody in everyday things around her, like forks, knives, and nature. Her voice is easy, ethereal, interesting and raw. She can sing pitch perfect. She tries to make money playing gigs at underground dance clubs in Los Angeles. Music has been an integral part of her life ever since sitting in church pews listening to the hymns as a child. She would die to keep making music.
Casting singers who preferably (but not necessarily) can play an instrument. For musical inspiration around Scout’s energy and sound, check out this Spotify Playlist. LEAD
