PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Now
seeking non-union, NYC-based talent for SUPERPOWER, an NYU Graduate
Film student project about a woman who is unpleasantly surprised to
discover that she's become invisible, but soon realizes that her
invisibility endows her with more power and freedom than she's ever
experienced before.
Roles in this project
Collapse All RolesAmanda’s
a divorcée who has been seeing Tom for a few weeks. She’s beautiful,
but insecure about how middle age has changed her appearance; she relies
on makeup to feel presentable. When she realizes she’s literally become
invisible to the people around her, she’s alarmed and upset, but her
alarm soon gives way to curiosity about what this change means—she’s not
the kind of person to panic, and she’s certainly no stranger to change.
Having sought for so long to be seen, Amanda ultimately embraces a new
power that comes with being unseen.

Tom
is a divorcé who owns a house in Ridgewood, Queens, and holds a very
high opinion of himself. After all, he’s successful in his trade, he’s
kept himself in good shape for his age, and he’s free as a bird to do
whatever he pleases. Tom thought Amanda was nice, but she wasn’t really
what he was looking for, physically. Alexis makes Tom feel 22 again, and
why settle for what you’ve got when you can trade in for a newer model?

Alexis
is a lovely young woman, inside and out; she just happens to get caught
in the crossfire between Tom and Amanda. She’s thin and fresh-faced—the
type of girl who can walk out the door in the morning with no makeup on
and feels confident that she looks great (and is right). This is the
first time she’s ever dated an older guy, and she finds it exhilarating
to be this coveted.

Headphone
Guy is a tall, lanky young man who simply wants to enjoy his music on
his way to work. He’s got every confidence in himself: nothing to prove,
nothing to hide—especially not his dance moves (although he probably
should hide them…). He’s simply in the wrong place at the wrong time
when he passes Amanda, as she tries to figure out the rules of her new
invisibility.
