Project Synopsis
June, a passive talented high school table tennis player lives between practicing at school and going home to an absent father. As the best player on the team, Coach Stan plans to nominate June for a prestigious BC table tennis training camp before the big spring tournament but when transfer student Riley joins the team, June’s world turns upside down. As the coach begins to show more enthusiasm towards Riley and June uncovers her father’s secret - of which he’s been spending time with another woman and her daughter, everything comes to a head as the final tip of the straw comes when Riley is selected as the chosen candidate for the table tennis training camp. This causes June to spiral internally, unable to comprehend her situation, she turns to an unfortunate conclusion, bashing RIley over the head with her table tennis paddle, choosing violence over acceptance.
Character 1
June
Age
15-25
Gender
Female
Description
Korean-Canadian A passive, timid and observant girl. A top player at her school table tennis team, she harbours a talent for the sport but never feels a huge ‘passion’ for it. She instead plays almost out of obligation to herself and her talents. With a semi-absent father, the only sense of purpose she feels is on the court to her and herself alone but when transfer student, Riley steals this away from her, the bubbling insecurities and fears within her rise to the surface culminating in violence. She represents our fears of having no purpose and feelings of abandonment, what happens when you are left to your own devices for too long?
Character 2
Riley
Age
15-25
Gender
Female
Description
Any ethnicity June’s ‘Rival’. The new transfer student in town who has an immense talent for table tennis. She is completely innocent and lives her own life, she has zero idea about how much she is affecting June and her playing at no one’s fault. Some might consider her a ‘natural gift’, even though she believes there isn’t much of a future in table tennis but continues playing anyway. This belief will cause a ripple effect in the ‘rivalry’ between June and Riley. A rivalry that only exists to June.
Character 3
Woo-Suk
Age
45-55
Gender
Male
Description
Korean-Canadian June’s semi-absent, unintentionally cold father. His wife left him and June when June was very young and that has left a scar in his heart. Instead of properly trying to rebuild his family and relationship with June, he’s turned elsewhere, looking for that acceptance from somewhere else. He finds it in another family, a young mother and her daughter. Although without ill intention, he hides it from June that he spends time with someone else’s child, his ignorance and insecurity/fear stops him from opening up and being honest. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love and care for June, he’s just retreated back to what’s easier for him, by staying hidden but of course a secret can’t always stay hidden.
Character 4
Coach Stan
Age
30 - 40
Gender
Male
Description
Caucasian/Open A somewhat passionate coach on the floor but a pessimist in life. He believes he was made to do more, play in the big leagues but now he’s stuck coaching a team of students. It’s not that he doesn’t have any respect for them but there will always be a side of him that’ll feel regretful. He tries to train them for the big stadiums, play for big crowds, maybe he’s a bit too serious about it, forgetting that most of these students are playing out of extracurricular but at least he has June… and now Riley.
Character 5
Lily
Age
15-25
Gender
Female
Description
Any ethnicity The foil for June. Also on the table tennis team, she is June’s only real friend, the one person she feels she can talk to honestly somewhat. Lily’s also the only one who will call her out on things and see through June’s quiet exterior, which June doesn’t even realize she needs but Lily does it anyway. She’s a lot more chatty but still remains incredibly observant, never one to stray away from details. She doesn’t take the sport nearly as seriously as June does but she’s there to support and pass time since she has nothing better to do cause being on the court around others is still slightly better than being home with her family.
