๐ŸŽฌ Miss Takes Film Club Presents: Wild Takes โ€“ The Neighbors

A One-Day Film Experiment: Scripted Scenes, Improv, & Creativity on the Fly

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Date & Time

Saturday, October 11, 2025
9:00 AM โ€“ 7:00 PM
๐Ÿ“ Location: Houston (full address shared after sign-up)

๐ŸŽž๏ธ What Is Wild Takes?

Wild Takes is a fast-paced, improv-inspired film day where we throw the script out the window (after weโ€™ve filmed it, of course).
Youโ€™ll start with a short scripted scene and move into fully improvised group and solo segments โ€” all captured on camera.

No experience needed. Just come ready to create, collaborate, and take a few wild swings.

๐ŸŽฌ Part 1: Scripted Scene โ€“ The Neighbors

Written & Directed by: Samuel Robles (writer/director)

Official Cast:

  • Laney โ€“ Ama Udugamasooriya

  • Tristen โ€“ Raquael Torres

  • Mr. Tuskegee โ€“ Glen Jordan

  • Mrs. Tuskegee โ€“ Cici Blanco

Weโ€™ll be filming this original short as our opening piece โ€” and then building from it in the improv rounds.

๐ŸŽญ Part 2: Group Improv

Open to everyone!
Choose a character or get a prompt from us. Keep the energy and reality going as long as it feels believable โ€” weโ€™ll film until it doesnโ€™t.

๐ŸŽค Part 3: Solo Improv โ€“ Confessionals

Step into the confessional booth in character โ€” your moment to spill secrets, dreams, frustrations, or twisted logic.

Weโ€™ll guide you, or you can create your own on the spot.
Itโ€™s fun. Itโ€™s chaotic. Itโ€™s Miss Takes at its best.

๐ŸŽฅ Want to Try a Crew Role?

We're offering hands-on experience in the following departments:

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Good Vibes + Good Food

This is a 100% volunteer-based production.
Weโ€™ll provide a delicious meal as a thank you for your time, energy, and talent. ๐Ÿ’›
