If you’re interested in a plot role, pop over here to let us know which one. Casting will be done during the day on Saturday, November 10th.
We request that players NOT sign up for plot roles in pairs for this jaunt.
Producer: Hard-boiled head of the Transcendent Pictures studio. Rumor has it that they worked their way up from a coffee-runner to be head of the studio. One of the most powerful personalities in Vineland, has won multiple Best Picture awards. Gets by on power of personality and the ability to take others’ ideas and make them happen, with or without their permission.
Studio Assistant: The brains behind the operation. Extra-competent, the one with the ideas that actually work. Possibly a relative of Producer, but not necessarily. Always the one who works late, finalizes deals made over champagne at a party, and does the actual work that keeps the studio running.
Lead Actor 1: A famous, popular actor, adored by both men and women. Engaged to Lead Actor 2, but the tabloids wonder how sincere it is. Currently under contract to play the detective in Author’s movie.
Lead Actor 2: One of those great actors who is also a great person in general, and sure to sell any movie they’re attached to. Engaged to Lead Actor 1, but the tabloids wonder how sincere it is. Currently under contract to play the love interest/antagonist in Author’s movie.
Girl/Boy Next Door: The child of a former director and good friend of Lead Actor 1, very sincere, very pure-hearted, almost too much so for Vineland. Means well, and generally does the right thing. Working in background production as some form of department assistant.
Director: Tasked with adapting a popular novel to the big screen, this person has to balance the needs of the studio, the rabid fanbase, the Author’s original vision, and all manner of off-camera drama.
Former Star: A huge star from the silent film era, now insanely rich, and insanely bored. Currently trying to get back into the movies, and has been hired for a small part in The Phantom Thief - but they’d like to trade up if they can.
Author: Extremely popular detective fiction author, taking their first foray into Vineland. Somewhat naive, but their plots are compelling and their characters popular.
