Meet the characters

Meet Jack.

Some days he's a photographer, and some he's a filmmaker. Lately, Jack's been the photoshop guy for The Toony Company. Jack's a guy who's never happy with his place in life. If he's broke, he wishes he had money. If he's getting paid, he wishes for the freedom of the starving artist. And he's always willing to let you know this, whether or not you want to hear it. Born and raised just north of New York City, Jack moved to LA eight years ago, decided he didn't like it after two, and yet he's still here. As we open the series, Jack is ready for a change, and a big one is coming.

Meet Ray.

Jack's roommate. Ray has been a film buff from birth, which is convenient, since he grew up right outside of LA. He started out wanting to be a filmmaker, but ended up an actor, moving into the Los Angeles area right out of high school. He is fiercely loyal to Hollywood, never feeling the urge to be anywhere else. He used to have the drive to go out and audition as much as possible, but got comfortable doing work as a film extra. A little too comfortable. He'll still claim that just being on a movie set is good enough for him, but his increased bitterness is starting to show cracks in that facade.

Meet Mara.

Mara's the type of girl that can hang with the boys just as easily as the girls, and isn't afraid of letting people know what's on her mind. Her off switch isn't broken, but it definitely has some loose wiring, so she has a tendency for TMI. She and Jack met years ago at a part-time job, and they just clicked. This was due to their shared trait of never being able to decide on what they want to do with their lives. They've remained friends, but have always had a habit of losing touch for long stretches of time. Mara practices a nomadic lifestyle, except, instead of changing where she lives, she changes her path in the arts. Painter, singer, dancer, etc. You name it, she's done it. She's currently going through her actress phase, and needing headshots has once again brought her back into Jack's life.
