ELT, a family film
Location: Seattle, WA
Type: Film
Film Synopsis: Two big-city teenage sisters are sent to their grandparent’s rural equestrian center for Christmas break.

Roles:
Karen Claspill (F)- 40s, Elegant, put-together, capable. She has the no-nonsense logic of a successful CEO or a lawyer at an expensive law firm but has a soft spot for her two teenage daughters.
Christian (M)– 40s, Clean-cut with an impish boyishness twinkling in his eyes. He exudes the charm of a poet with his curious gaze. He is the best-friend kind of dad to his two teenage daughters.
Gramma (F)- 60s, A young grandmother. The gracefully aged version of a country prom queen. Matronly and caring. The kind of grandmother who bakes apple pies and makes bread from scratch. Energetic and spry despite her years.
Fiona (F)– 20s, Gorgeous and athletic with the fluidity of a dancer. Outdoorsy. Dazzling, genuine smile. Caring and accepting. Ideally can ride horses to at least an intermediate level.
Jessica(F)- 16-18 (or 18+ to look younger), Tech geek who looks like she is equally at home with anime or computer programming code. Sarcastic and quick witted. Retro 1980s style.
Barrett (F)- 16-18 (or 18+ to look younger), Techie, geek chic girl. Bookish and always ready with a nerdy, snarky joke.
Wesley (M) – 16-18 (or 18+ to look younger), Thin, tan, and good-looking. Abercrombie and fitch model type but his sunburns are more likely to come from working outside rather than lounging beside a pool. Proud of his farmer’s tan. Looks at home in a trucker’s cap.
Brad (M) – 16-18 (or 18+ to look younger), Tech nerd with a goofy sense of humor. Awkward but genuine and good-natured. Equally at home discussing sci-fi or calculus. Sharp, witty sense of humor
Michael Babbage (M)- 40s, Trendy yet rumpled quirky, inventor type. Professional nerd who writes computer code but dreams of the stars. Steve jobs type tech genius.
Leonard (M)- 50s. Good natured but awkward. The quintessential rumpled banker. Better with numbers than communicating with words, which leads to spoonerisms and malapropisms. Easily flustered.
Male and female ranch hand background actors (M/F) – All Ages. Variety of athletic builds. Horse riding experience or at least comfort dealing with horses preferred but not necessary.
