Equity actors for the role of BLAZE in WIPEOUT.
SYNOPSIS: Gary is turning sixty-something, which can only mean one thing: It's time to learn to surf. With two long-standing friends floating beside her in the Pacific — and with the help of a California surf-bro instructor — Gary and her friends navigate the undertow of fear and long-held resentments alongside the unquenchable draw towards life and its many pleasures. A moving comedy about endings and beginnings.
BLAZE: 19 years old. Male, Any ethnicity. A Pisces. A Californian surf-bro. Someone you would at first read as a surfer who doesn’t worry about “real life” responsibilities, but then you learn has had to deal with severe hardships and carries profound and transcendental wisdom about life and understands surf as a philosophy. A wit that comes from observation.
