Episode 8: Split Assets
Friday, January 29, 2010 at 09:44AM Writer's Note:
So I met the adorable Meredith Zinner at a screenwriting workshop about a year ago. We both shared the same acting coach but never met before. We hit it off right away and when I shared with her that I was shooting a webseries with a bunch of our mutual friends, she casually mentioned that she'd love to work on it if a role ever came up. (I actually took her seriously.) I immediately went home and created what I hoped would be a juicy character role for her-- Priscilla, an uptight suburbanite with a bad case of perfectionism. Luckily I didn't embarass myself because she said she would do it! Originally I conceived of this character being introduced in a different manner but it wasn't really coming together, and again, it was my mother who chimed in with her wisdom-- why can't she be Andy's ex? (I really need to give her a credit here. Bad daughter, bad daughter.) Anyway, again, this scene sort of wrote itself, since the characters were so well-defined and the conflict -- they used to be well-off, and he presumes she still is-- was built in. I also need to shout out a big thanks to Dore and Brian, my very best friends, who graciously let us take over their gorgeous house for a day.
