Synopsis:
An “Urban Fantasy”, dramatically told story, about life’s often unnoticed interconnectivity, the everlasting effects that occur during the childhood nurturing stages, and how societal pressures, often, regrettably, navigate us away from our Inner Passions. Though mentored, guided, and inspired, by a few exceptionally wise, and seemingly, “Old Souls”, an extraordinary young Boy, will tragically throw it all away.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
•Aiden (boy) Caucasian age range 10-12. Fairly reserved. a bit trapped, deep into his own thoughts, more often than not. Very emotional role. Must have great acting skills and ability to cry on cue. Strong monologue; but no profanity.
•Aiden (adult), Caucasian .age 35. Still has the same foundational characteristics’ as a young boy, however; he is no longer able to break free from his inner demons.
•The Mentor Caucasian (Age: 61) (Michael Caine type) Loveable, sweet, sincere, and extremely wise, Grandfather Type figure.
