Production Description
Casting "The Magicians Wife." Synopsis: A woman in her 20's, Hedda, edgy, uncertain, ambitious, is looking for a car to buy. On a bike ride one morning, she happens to notice a car up on a hill, covered with a cloth, with a for sale sign on it. She gets off her bike and walks up the long driveway to inquire, finding herself at the threshold of a mansion. When she rings the doorbell, she is invited inside by Flora, an aide, where she meets the owner of the estate, an older man, Senor Fuentes, a retired magician, who is grieving the loss of his wife. After an interview, he gives Hedda the keys to the car and tells her to take a drive around the neighborhood. The car had been his wife's and not just anyone can drive it; he has chosen her. Once inside the beautiful vintage BMW, Hedda discovers a pair of gloves in the glovebox. When she pulls them on, the ghost of the man's dead wife comes to life, sitting in the back seat, eager to go for a ride. Hedda and Inez share the drive together, and something more - an understanding of what it means to embrace the mysteries of our lives, the things we cannot possess or fully understand, the thing we call our soul that makes each one of us who we are - the very thing that makes us human. As a writer/director, I have always loved the mystery that shimmers just beneath the surface of ordinary life. Questions of other dimensions, other possibilities of time and space, have always intrigued me. In this short film, I plan to explore these ideas gently, allowing the poetry of an ordinary day to challenge and inspire Hedda to see the world anew.
