Chris (15-22, Male)
An entitled teen from a wealthy family who has just been expelled for a series of pranks and offenses at his elite private school. Though he seems determined to treat everything as a joke, Chris is still grieving the death of his older brother. He constantly fails to live up to his parents’ high expectations of him as they compare Chris to his late brother.
Skye (15-22)
Creative with a strong theatre kid energy. Often detached from their surroundings, using music and imagination as an escape. Likes art, and often makes witty comebacks to people, and stands up to bullies as they have been bullied in the past. They are sensitive around topics to do with parenting, as they have a rocky relationship with their parents. They try to become friends with Chris quite fast.
Jayden (15-22, Male)
Comes from a less affluent background. Speaks in a very colloquial manner. He fits a typical “bully” role, he struggles in school, his brother died in a motorcycle accident several years back, and his parents blame it on him.
Aunt Kat (30-45, Female)
Outcast from her family due to being a troublemaker in her teenage years, she has since turned this around and became a high school music teacher, very kind and caring towards any that she teaches, but she is stern at times. She and Chris aren’t very familiar at first, because of the isolation she felt from the rest of her family, but she tries to lighten the mood with humour.
Issac (15-22, Male)
Typical nerdy, quiet kid who wears glasses. Creative, and is often the target of bullying.
Background characters including students and school faculty.
This is a student-produced TV pilot project, with instructor supervision and guidance from onsite industry professionals.
Filming will take place in a supervised and controlled environment, including both school and approved external locations. This project does not include any scenes of a suggestive nature. The production includes low-risk physical activity, such as running in an outdoor/forest environment. All scenes will be conducted with safety considerations in place, including supervision and hazard awareness to minimise risk. A fully stocked first aid kit will be available on set at all times. Standard safety protocols will be followed to ensure the well-being of all participants.
