Hello, I’m Grayson Di Rienzo and I am directing a whimsical experimental narrative short film titled Far From the Apple Tree, written by Allison Lord. Our narrative follows Percy, a small town lesbian, who’s recently single. Percy wants a hot prom date, so her best friend, Jonah, helps Percy perform a spell that will give her all she desires. Will she find a prom date or something more? This short film is fun, quirky, and queer while exploring themes of escapism and discovering self worth.

Looking for experienced actors
Roles:
Percy- (16-22) Quirky small town lesbian, who is on the hunt for a prom date. She is brilliant but oblivious at times. She is eccentric and a bit of an outcast who lets distractions consume her.
Jonah- (16-22) Percy’s witchy best friend who is secretly in love with Percy. Jonah is passionate, selfless, and witty. She also doesn’t fit in and she doesn’t want to fit in.
