WHAT AM I DOING HERE?
A young woman stuck in a dead-end job searches for her purpose with the help of her elephant-dressed subconscious. But as her day keeps getting worse, she soon realises he is not as helpful as she had hoped.
IT STARTED WITH A SIMPLE QUESTION
And as most things do in life, it ended in a very detailed and bizarre story about a 19-year-old girl who can talk to her subconscious.
A COMING-OF-AGE DARK COMEDY
The film focuses on the struggle of not knowing your place in the world and discovering that the voice in your head is not always your friend.
AND WHO HASN'T FELT THAT WAY AT LEAST ONCE?

CAST WE ARE LOOKING FOR

LEAD
30, ANY ETHNICITY, MALE

A dude with a beard dressed as an elephant. He would get a lot of strange looks if he wasn't just a figment of Maisie's imagination.
60, ANY ETHNICITY, MALE
SUPPORTING
The car's interior is almost as worn out as the guy driving it. The type of Dad with his heart in the right place but whose mouth doesn't always say the right things.

There are only two things you need to know about her: this shop is her life, and her first language is passive-aggressive.
