Cast: Alexandra Bliss, Stephen Brahms, Ralph Casson

A quirky and enjoyable mockumentary in the vein of THE OFFICE. With quintessential British humor, the story entertains viewers with the trials and tribulations of three struggling actors who must get along as housemates while cameras roll and the documentary film crew hangs about. 

The main characters are fully developed and well written, with quite a few laughs at the expense of clueless Ste. But there is also a suggestion of depth underlying the supporting characters and even some bit parts, as if they all have well-developed backstories.

ACTORS is enhanced by nice performances in both the leading roles and several supporting roles as well. Has a low-budget look, but obviously crafted with care by folks who know what they're doing. Good fun.

The parody subgenre imitates, exaggerates, and satirizes the style, themes, characters, or conventions of another work, genre, or cultural phenomenon. Parodies often involve taking well-known elements from the original source and presenting them in a humorous and exaggerated manner to create a comedic effect.

When hyperactive, egotistical Ste moves in, to share a rented house, life is not the same for quiet Peter and theater loving Melissa. The camera crew have a field-day following around these three unknown actors. Ste has just moved from London and is looking for an agent in Manchester. He loves the attention from the cameras. Peter would rather be left alone. Melissa is rehearsing a play with eight other actors and seems the most sensible of the three. Over the week, leading up to the night of the performance, we discover both Ste and Peter have secrets. But, all three will have their lives turned upside down on performance night. Three actors under the same roof is too much.
