Main characters
Jackie Woodman (Laura Kightlinger), a surly writer for a second rate indie film periodical and aspiring screenwriter. Her refusal to be a part of the superficial world of Hollywood is at odds with her desire to be one of the successful elite.

Mitchell (Patrick Bristow), Skyler's sycophantic assistant, who is openly rude to Jackie.
