The Callback

Maggie pursues her dream of landing a callback within the film industry that offers limited roles for women. She applies her artistry to landing a part, however clichéd: supportive wife, silent girlfriend, the “other woman,” and never gives up her dream to succeed. She thrives creating the backstory of a Midwestern housewife or studying French for the part of “soccer mom,” Maggie will not be deterred. Unfortunately, casting directors remain unimpressed with her creative interpretations of one-dimensional roles. With no callback and unpaid bills, Maggie faces the reality of limited opportunities. She is on the brink of despair when her electricity is cut off during her home audition of “Secretary Number 3.” Then her phone pings – she finally has her callback. With renewed hope she aces her second audition before production decides to “go in another direction,” landing her an unexpected role.
