Character Information for Actors

Hello!Thank you for auditioning for your role in STREET STYLE by A Work in Progress! Your work is already super appreciated!

In case you are still super confused about what this thing we’re filming is, here is some background information on what the opening sequence and whole film we’re making is about:

The main character Eleanor has been kicked out of home, is struggling with gangs, has many debts and is in general not happy. On the side, Eleanor does dance to escape the daily struggle, with her friend Tory helping her along the

way. In the opening, Eleanor is confronted by two of the gang’s most powerful members: Jack and Camille. They demand money but Eleanor does not plan to

give in any time soon. This starts tension between them, which Eleanor will not be escaping any time soon in the film. She runs away back to her comforting home of the dance studio to continue work on her new competition piece for her and

her groups national dance competition. The opening will showcase her two contrasting worlds: the dream dance universe and the nightmare that is real life.

This is a story about a girl who will not let her personal struggles get in the way of her dream of making it big in the dance world, getting away from the rough life

she has come to live.
