Love Bitez
Project Overview
Love Bitez is a Scott Pilgrim esque supernatural, teen, thriller, comedy-drama following the protagonist Kodi McLean and his dream to be a successful musician. After continuous setbacks, Kodi encounters, Q, a popular and influential music manager for “4th Circle Records” by pure chance and is offered the opportunity of a lifetime. Q offers Kodi the chance to achieve his dreams, with 3 other musicians Q has scouted by forming the Punk Rock band Love Bitez featuring Kodi as Lead, WLF as Guitarist, Tarquin as Bassist and Astro on drums. But things aren’t what they seem, they start to experience strange symptoms akin to vampirism. But brush it off as they have bigger things to worry about, like the price you pay for fame.

(Q walks into the room, Interrupting a fight between Kodi and WLF, not dwelling on the fight and immediately moving on) “Ah, Glad to see you're all acquainted-.” (WLF approaches, about to snitch, Q raises their hand gesturing a not now) “ I assume you all know what role you're playing. Good news, I've already booked your first gig, nothing major yet just the local bar to test the waters, we don’t want you in a stadium when you get anxious around each other. It's at this place at this time, you'll need at least 3 songs and if you're not ready you're still performing. (sassily) Okay. have fun. play nice. byeeeeee <3”
(Talking to an old friend they haven’t seen in a while at the bar. Persuading/manipulating this person to drink.) “God it's been ages since I've seen you, surely one drink won't hurt, I recall the last time we met up you nearly drank an entire bar, …don’t tell me you're afraid of just one drink.” (if you wanna improvise this and add more dialogue, then go ahead)
(Tarquin is loudly expressing disinterest in the band and group.) (annoyed/ irritated) “Look, I get that you'd much rather be getting high in some back alley disappointing your parents like every other silver spooned entitled brat, but your parents have been on my back since before you were even put in your mother. And- No shush, and I’m just doing this to get them to Shut-up, so just give me one show. Just one show where we work as a group and when it's over you can go cry to (in a mimicking posh voice) mommy, and daddy about how “oh Q is such a mean manager” and have maid Mildred (transition back to regular voice) and all the other people who are paid to be around you coddle you and pretend like they care, because I Don’t. so, sit down, shut up and play the bass.”

WLF is the Lead Guitarist and the first to be hand picked by Q. A long time fan of not only 4th Circle Records but of Q themselves, it was a dream come true to be scouted. However as wholesome as this may sound, once you meet him its obvious he's just a brat getting his way. A guitar prodigy since he was small with the skills to back up his gloating, you can't help but feel a bit irritated he got his way. That is until he meets the others and realizes he has to carry the dead weight of 3.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
Masculine presenting (Trans masc or Cis-man).
Between 5”8 - 6”1 (up for negotiation).

Tarquin Eastwood is our second and most disinterested band member. Q being a life long family friend had told the Eastwoods the next band they personally managed would have Tarquin in it. However that was over 10 years ago, Tarquin has other priorities now. Like his hot model girlfriend, his horse, and going to any uni party he's invited to. But since his parents said he either do this or get a real job, he has no other choice but to stick it out until they're satisfied.
