Story synopsis: "The city is empty and there is no one left,
Kevin leads a solitary life. Existing to continue existing.
Prowling the city by night, Kevin searches for others and finds
himself reflecting, like the city lights on tall glass buildings
that surround him, on the life he once had before and the love
that once filled it."
Roles wanted to fill: Main Character: Kevin
-Kevin leads a lonely life, existing to continue existing.
Struggling with the loneliness and isolation he creates a
journal of his thoughts and the experiences of it all.
Prowling the city by night Kevin searches for others and finds
himself reflecting, like the city lights on the tall glass
buildings that surround him, on the life he had before. And the
love that went with it. The audio for Kevin will be mostly done
in post-production and this means there's only one scene in
which to read lines on-camera.
Supporting: June
-An enigmatic character, she exists only in the memories of
Kevin as he records his thoughts.
As Kevin's memories are murky and incomplete he can't remember
the sound of her voice or much of what they did together and
much of it comes in scattered moments.
Sheltered by her father because of the disappearances, she
revels in her nightly explorations of the city with Kevin.
