Jessica Packard 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.

FilmmakerThis was fantastic. Stellar! The uneasiness you displayed before even delivering a single line was so good. And the sharp/quick responses flowed at an incredible speed. This tape could be on mute and your eyes alone told the story and set the tone. So glad you taped so we could all see your talents!

ActorYesss Jessica! Nailed it! This is the best rendition of this character I have seen so far. You perfectly captured the "sarcastic, slightly annoyed sister" vibe that I believe this character should have. You have great facial expressions, the audio and lighting are good, and you did an overall fantastic job. I can imagine you being cast for this role. I honestly don't have any suggestions for improvement.

ActressJessica, Great job setting up your eye lines- for Joel & The Jacobsens. It was clear how you felt about what Joel was saying while balancing that awkwardness in front of The Jacobsens. Believable, natural delivery, great pacing & great listening. I hope you take this as a compliment, because that’s how I mean it… You strongly resemble Angelina Jolie!

ActressHi Jessica! Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent! Yours was a completely new and fresh take on this scene and I loved it. You started it off by a minor ad lib with a 3rd person at the table before the scene started and I loved that choice. You also chose to keep that third party in the scene with subtle eye movements and expression. I always love when an actor makes a scene interesting and you achieved that beautifully.
Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more from you in the future!
