─ 🎬 ( MIKEY MADISON, TWENTY-FIVE, CIS WOMAN, SHE + HER. ) Have you heard of  LILAH ABRAMS yet? i believe they’ve been living in LA for TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. they’re currently cast / working as an ACTOR in the movie. somethings that remind me of them are: FOLDING YOUR ENTIRE BODY UP INTO THE MAKEUP CHAIR TO BE MORE COMFORTABLE, WRINGING YOUR HANDS NERVOUSLY BEFORE A PRESS INTERVIEW, SITTING ALONE IN A DARK ROOM TO DECOMPRESS AFTER A LONG DAY, AND A CASUAL WARDROBE THAT DOESN’T GET USED AS OFTEN AS SHE’D LIKE. before joining this project, i’ve heard they were known for being ADAPTABLE, TALENTED, AND TOUGH-SKINNED. however, on the down side, they’re also known to be INDECISIVE, SUPERSTITIOUS, AND PARANOID. because of this, they’re often labeled as THE PRODIGY. i just hope they come to set prepared. especially since I’ve heard those call times are going to be pretty early!

full name: lilah evelyn abrams birthdate: march 25th, 2000 age: 25 height: 5’3” sexuality: bisexual hometown: los angeles, california occupation: actor bio:

lilah abrams has always been in the spotlight, but she doesn’t particularly like it

the mother of a well-off couple, she was thrown into the world of theater at the ripe old age of three, playing the smallest of roles at the time

but being around people in productions is what started to shape her likes and interests; she didn’t know anything else, and she liked being around other stage actors

but because most of them were older than her, lilah always acted older than she was

by the time she was in elementary school, she was landing more and more important roles in the productions, becoming somewhat of a local star

she was just seven years old when she booked her first major acting role, becoming a series regular on the show that lasted for ten seasons

lilah’s parents began homeschooling her so she would have more time to work, never once stopping to realize how that may affect her for the rest of her life

lilah had herself convinced that she was living the dream, but whenever she saw a group of girls her age having the time of their lives, she wondered if she really had it all

her parents had her convinced that things were better the way they were; she was barely a teenager and was already more successful than people twice her age, and wanting silly things like a social life was just a waste of time

and so she continued on, booking role after role and becoming more well-known as she got older

soon enough the empty feeling faded away, shoving itself in the back of her mind and allowing her to focus on her career 

but by the time lilah was twenty, she had fallen into bad habits as a way of coping, and it was nearly the end of her career

her parents forced her to take a few years away from acting, keeping her at home and out of the spotlight as a way to help her heal

those few years saw lilah experiencing a lot of things for the first time; for once in her life she’d been able to make a few friends, and she could go to the grocery store without being completely hounded by paparazzi

it was like she’d been granted a temporary retirement, and she loved it

but lilah had too much talent, and when a new role popped up, she was urged by her agent and her parents to take it

this would be the perfect way to break out into the spotlight, and while she didn’t want to, she still showed up to the audition

she’d half-hoped that she wouldn’t book the role, but when the call came through, lilah had to pretend that it was everything she wanted

despite being back to work, lilah still tries to keep to herself more often than not; she doesn’t try to make new friends, and she’s made it a point to try and stay in her trailer whenever she has an ounce of freetime

on the outside, she is very unapproachable, and most people assume she’s quite bitchy, but that couldn’t be further from the truth

those who know lilah know that she’s got one of the purest hearts around, always wanting to spoil her friends and family as much as possible

for now, lilah is just trying to keep her head down and the job done, and while she’s still a little hesitant about working again, she’s trying to stay positive about it

as much as she hated hovering, mia had to do an awful lot of it just to make sure everyone looked camera-ready. she'd been doing a lot of test runs on anyone who found themselves in her trailer, but today she was simply wandering around, getting a feel for everyone that she'd be seeing on set. it wasn't the best habit in the world, but most of the time she could slip by unnoticed. but the question posed in her direction threw her off, and with a wide gaze, mia turned to shake her head. "i'm not actually in the production, so i'm not much help. i can still run lines with you, but i fear i'm a bit of a dud acting-wise."

rory  liked  to  make  sure  that  she  had  gone  over  her  lines  a  few  times  in  her  head  for  memorization.  but  she  also  didn't  like  to  overpractice  too  much  to  where  her  acting  would  be  planned  out  in  her  head.  it  wouldn't  of  came  off  as  natural  to  the  viewers  and  she  was  sure  she  would  get  that  as  a  note  from  the  director.  it  had  happened  a  few  times  before.  but  since  filming  was  set  to  start  soon,  she  was  curious  to  know  who  was  working  with  her  today.  "  you  don't  happen  to  be  in  the  first  scene  that  you're  shooting  with  me,  right?  i  thought  maybe  we  could  run  lines  together.  see  how  we  want  for  it  to  play  out  or  something.  "

ever since she paused her youtube career (if you could even call it that to begin with), mia was getting noticed less and less. despite being a very social creature that loved to interact with just about anyone, there was something about the pressure of being noticed that made her skin crawl, and she was always grateful that she could dip into a coffee shop without anyone so much as knowing her name. but she knew that she was lucky compared to the actors and actresses she worked with on set, so when sofia plopped down in the seat across from her, all mia could do was flash her a sympathetic smile. "you don't need to apologize for that; i can only imagine how exhausting it is to have to pause everything to make small talk and pose for pictures. sometimes, you just want to exist normally. i get it." mia lifted her mug to her lips, gently sipping the liquid inside before she let her eyes settle on the other. "and you don't owe me anything. i like having the company."

status : open, uncapped ( @actionstarters )

where : hollywood breeze cafe

                    despite being in the industry for almost half a decade, sofia still wasn't completely used to being recognized while she went about her day.     being approached by teenage girls and asked to pose for selfies was an odd feeling;  on one hand, sofia loved spending time with her fans and connecting with them as much as she could.     but on the other, sometimes all she wanted was to be able to spend her days off walking around los angeles without worrying about anything.     that's exactly why she ducked into the familiar coffee shop as soon as she spotted a group of young girls across the street, the sounds of their squealing drifting all the way to where the actress was.     the establishment was already packed, but the staff there didn't seem to care about the constant stream of actors and directors that waltzed into the place.     sofia was just another one of the regulars, and for that she was thankful.     blue eyes scan the ambient in search of a vacant table, but every single one is occupied.     she's about to give up on her feeble attempt to hide when she spots a familiar face, sitting at a table near the back like a godsend.     " i am so sorry about this, "     sofia announces as she slides into the vacant seat opposite the other, pulling out a book - a cheesy romance book she's been devouring on her downtime - from her purse and using it to cover her face as she slouches in her seat.     dramatic, yes, but also effective.     " i am not looking my best for an impromptu photo shoot with fourteen years olds, so i just need to hide real quick. i promise that your next coffee—or whatever you're drinking—is on me. "

─ 🎬 ( ISABELA MERCED, TWENTY-THREE, CIS WOMAN, SHE + HER. ) Have you heard of  MIA CHAVEZ yet? i believe they’ve been living in LA for THREE YEARS. they’re currently cast / working as an MAKEUP ARTIST in the movie. somethings that remind me of them are: LIPSTICK STAINS ON THE BACK OF YOUR HAND AFTER A LONG DAY IN THE TRAILER, FRESHLY-CLEANED BRUSHES STORED AWAY NEATLY, SITTING OUTSIDE WITH YOUR FACE TURNED TOWARDS THE SUN, AND BRIGHT SMILES FLASHED TOWARDS EVERYONE. before joining this project, i’ve heard they were known for being HONEST, KIND, AND SUPPORTIVE. however, on the down side, they’re also known to be SUBSERVIENT, QUIET, AND OVERLY FORGIVING. because of this, they’re often labeled as THE HUMAN DOORMAT. i just hope they come to set prepared. especially since I’ve heard those call times are going to be pretty early!

full name: mia alessandra chavez birthdate: july 10th, 2001 age: 23 height: 5’1” sexuality: bisexual occupation: makeup artist bio:

from the minute she was born, it was clear that mia chavez was something special

the only child to parents on the younger side, she was just the light that they needed in an otherwise grey world

the chavez family wasn’t anywhere close to being well-off; mia’s mother stayed home to cut back on daycare costs, and the family lived off of her father’s paychecks, barely scraping by between each one

and yet their household was happy and full of life, something that mia’s parents attribute to her presence

mia had a habit of knowing when people would need cheering up, and she would do just about anything to make it happen no matter what it took

it wasn’t a surprise to anyone that it was easy for her to make friends, and she was usually surrounded by people at all times, making sure to give them each equal amounts of attention so nobody would feel left out

but mia’s kindness was often taken advantage of, and she was none the wiser to it; if anyone asked her for anything, mia would deliver, and it slowly took a toll on her

she began to retreat in on herself, retreating to her bedroom more often than not so she could watch makeup tutorials on youtube

she still had a tight-knit group of friends, but mia found that she enjoyed being at home and practicing her makeup skills by herself, desperately wanting to perfect the art

as she got older and her talents grew, she became dead-set on wanting to do makeup for a living, specifically in film and tv

she did well in school, but she never went out of her way to join any club apart from drama, where she could put her makeup skills to good use

mia figured this would be the best way to get her foot in the door, setting herself on the journey to her preferred career path

her parents were always supportive of everything she wanted to do, and when it came time for graduation and for mia to announce she had no plans to go to college

much like the youtubers she watched, mia began to film her own makeup tutorials, watching as her views climbed higher and higher as she posted more videos 

it wasn’t long before she made a name for herself in the beauty community, and when local filmmakers started reaching out to her to work on their projects, she felt like everything was finally falling into place

it was on the set of an indie production that she met the boy she fell madly in love with; he was understanding towards her busy schedule, and she did everything she could to make time for him whenever she could

he was kind and gentle, and for once mia felt like her life was complete, and even though she was still young, she knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him

but after two years of desperately trying to make things work, mia and her boyfriend decided to split up

she was heartbroken, but their breakup was entirely amicable, and they still remained best friends

but the split had mia feeling like she needed to get away, and after being offered an opportunity in los angeles, she didn’t hesitate to pack her life up and move across the country

mia has been in LA for three years, and she absolutely loves it

she’s been successful at making a small group of friends, and work has been consistent since her move, which just confirms to her that it was the best decision she ever made

overall, mia is an outgoing and friendly person, and she loves interacting with anyone who can tolerate her going on long tangents
