Buick is a mix of Greek mythology, film noir and dark comedy with a hint of the “Twilight Zone.” A condescending Professor Cooper picks up a mysterious hitchhiker on his way to deliver the paper that will be the crowning moment in his distinguished life. He soon learns that Alexis is much more than she appears and hell hath no fury… well, you know the rest… or do you?
Seeking:
Alexis: female, 20s-30s, hip, attractive, mysterious.
Cooper: male, 40s+, pompous college Professor, but charming rogue.
Transportation stipend possible for these two roles.
