LOGLINE:

After discovering their dog dead in their backyard, Evan (10) and Sarah (17) are confronted with loss, loneliness, and the weight of growing up too soon. 

EVAN – a scrawny, 10 year old boy with sun tanned skin and a grown out buzz cut. Keen with a big heart. He’s the neighborhood kid who is still at the park after the sun has set.

SARAH – 17 years old, born jaded, the primary caretaker to her younger brother. Confident and resolute, she isn’t afraid to make hard decisions — but she is still a teenage girl at heart.

AUDITION SIDES

You are unpacking a food delivery order while talking to your grandmother, who is off-screen.

OFFSCREEN GRANDMA

Is the food here?

GRANDDAUGHTER

Yep.

OFFSCREEN GRANDMA

I'll be right out.

Continue unpacking containers.

Then realize something is missing.

Check the bag again.

Nothing.

GRANDDAUGHTER

Ugh. They forgot your lamb.

OFFSCREEN GRANDMA

Oh. Never mind, honey.

There's always something missing.

Maybe we should just stop ordering takeout.

Smile affectionately, as though you've heard this before.

GRANDDAUGHTER

No, Grandma. We don't have to.

I found this app that takes all the hassle out of getting refunds when something's missing.

OFFSCREEN GRANDMA

Really?

You sure it's not too much trouble?

GRANDDAUGHTER

Not at all.

It already gathered everything I need.

Look down at your phone and tap a few times.

React as though the app has completed its work.

Turn the phone slightly toward Grandma.

GRANDDAUGHTER

See? It already figured out what we're owed and drafted the email.

Now I just send it.

OFFSCREEN GRANDMA

Already?

GRANDDAUGHTER

Yep. It's that easy.
