“Incautious” Plot Summary:
A stay-at-home mother struggles to watch over her children as she finds herself addicted to alcohol and other drugs. A broken man takes out his anguish on his wife and children.
Goals for the Project:
I am trying to create a slow burning, tense, thought provoking, dramedy story with very complex characters that convey a wide range of emotions. In addition to giving extensive verbal notes during rehearsals, I provide in-depth written character notes regarding their past along with a Scene-by-Scene analysis for each character. I possess a very close attention to detail and specific vision regarding my characters. I am a very calm person who will never yell at actors/actresses or crew and will treat everyone with the most respect.
