Helena Studmire as Liz Harvard
Character Description
Liz is ridiculously smart and organized. She loves simple things; her white marble desk, her house and the perfect dirty chai latte. Thanks to her brother Joel, she has a great sense of humor, despite her desire to keep things under control and maintain the status quo. Joel is her best friend, as well as her business partner, and he always keeps her from taking herself too seriously. She's an idea harnessing machine and excels at taking Joel's hundred and one ideas and turning them in to actionable assets for their company. And lucky for all those involved, she has the patience of a saint.
Scene Description
Joel and Liz are at their cousin's wedding reception. Unbeknownst to Joel, Liz has also arranged for a brief, albeit, very important business meeting to happen during the reception. Their (Joel & Liz's) company has been struggling to obtain the necessary funds in order to survive the planned expansion and the couple they are meeting with tonight have very deep pockets.

ActressHelena, your beginning is SO strong! You clearly have an internal dialogue going on right after you put your hand on your face. While listening well to Joel, your face perfectly conveys what you’re thinking! (“What is this fool talking about?”) This is excellent & not easy to do! Most people just look like they’re waiting to say their next line…
Think about: Try placing Joel & the Jacobsons closer to camera. Visual: If camera lens is at 12 o’clock, place Joel between 1 & 2 or 10 & 11 that way we see more of your beautiful eyes!

ActressNice job. Your remember to filming horizontally. Some casting directors will refuse to watch it if you film vertically and you don’t want to work this hard and not have the CD watch it!
