STORY LINE: "Liberty Lane" is the story of a twelve year-old boy who, in an
attempt to keep his childhood friends together, tells them a lie and incites a
conflict with two eighth grade boys. Their act of vandalism escalates into
violence, and forces Jeremy to reveal the truth to avert a life-threatening
situation.

General Notes: Please note that we are looking for kids that are "real", meaning
you could actually find them on schoolyards or on the street. Edgy with all the
imperfections that the average teenager has to deal with. No "Disney kids". All
kids should be comfortable with getting dirty (hanging out in the woods).
Experiences of having gotten into fights are a plus.


SEEKING-

JEREMY: All-American twelve year old boy who is trying his best to keep his
friends (Mark and Tim) interested in their childhood fort that they built in the
woods three years ago. Not overtly athletic or handsome. Actor must handle lots
of dialogue and a wide emotional range. Caucasian (LEAD).

MARK: Athletic twelve year old boy who is on the verge of becoming a star
baseball player and getting the girl he wants. More appealing through his
strength than through his raw looks. Must be comfortable using adult language;
very physical role. Any ethnicity (LEAD).

TIM: Cool twelve year old kid who is becoming more involved with his girlfriend
than with hanging out with the guys; laid back but not afraid to fight. Carries
a knife, uses profanity. Caucasian (LEAD).

SEAN: A 14 year-old eighth grader with attitude; possibly a punk or goth (e.g.
Mexican metal-head)- the kind of kid moms don't necessarily want their sons to
hang out with, yet innocent at heart. Very physical role - athletics or martial
arts a plus. Any ethnicity (SUPPORTING).

ANDY: A fourteen year-old whose looks inspire rumors and intimidate younger
kids, but he just wants to have fun building a fort with his buddy. Very
physical role - athletics/martial arts and piercings/funky hair a plus. Any
ethnicity (SUPPORTING).
