Synopsis: Kelly and Maureen are two actresses who dared to age in Hollywood. Their beloved acting coach Harry has died and they’ve carpooled to his memorial with ingénue Bobbi who is everything they are up against. Bobbi, in the backseat, fields many calls booking work, Kelly and Maureen share their vodka filled flask as well as life lessons on surviving auditions and keeping hope alive. Harry’s death sparks a conversation about life, death, acting and aging gracefully.
While rooted in the backdrop of auditions and Hollywood tropes, this comedic short is more about sustaining friendship before and after death.
