Casting "Ashes to Ashes," a character-driven comedy/drama. Synopsis: About Elliott, a grieving man who travels to the California coast to scatter his father’s ashes, only to be interrupted by Dana, a stranger who insists he has mistakenly taken the urn containing her beloved cat. What begins as an absurd confrontation gradually becomes an unexpected connection between two strangers navigating grief in very different ways.
The 14-page short will shoot over two days on location at the Guadalupe Dunes on California’s Central Coast. The production will be small and performance-focused, with three actors and a lean professional crew. The production is aiming for a naturalistic, cinematic look that takes full advantage of the dramatic coastal landscape while keeping the focus on character, performance, and the film’s balance of comedy and genuine emotion.
