Blacktress has exactly three weeks before she has to be naked on camera for the Indie Film, Open Mic Knight.

But leaning on a good smile and a BFA will have the weak clicking their heels back home before their studio apartment lease expires. Successfully navigating the journey requires adapting a skill set rarely taught in theater school. It’s a business. It’s a game. It’s a jungle out there. Go hard or go home.
