- Director Interview - Miscellanea
Name: Jane Bole
Occupation: artist/night cleaner (former New York fashion
model)
Allies: Frank, Mary, Carol
Enemies: Barnes, Edwards, Peter, James
Notable possessions: modest, bulky, loose fitting black and
grey clothing; grandmother's pocket watch; Chinese parasol; camera; makeup;
artist's studio and artworks; short dressing gown; ketchup bottle; modelling
portfolio; newspaper clippings of her former life
Goal: to banish her loneliness by having a loving, romantic
relationship with a man (preferably Frank) who will not betray or assault
her in any way.
Obstacles: in order to do this, she must overcome her fears
of intimacy with the opposite sex, especially that such a relationship
will likely lead to her or the man's serious injury or untimely death.
Other remarks: Jane tries hard not to attract men by living
a relatively reclusive life and wearing boring clothing and little or no
makeup when outside her apartment. Despite this, her face and hair
are still as perfect as they were during her modelling days and she wears
makeup and a wider variety of clothing at home, indicating her wish to
ultimately overcome her fears and resume a far less stressful existence.
She has a very powerful imagination and senses of curiosity and creativity
that can be both a blessing and a curse. Jane's highly charismatic
(yet introverted) personality and stunning physical beauty deeply affects
everyone who comes in contact with her. |
Name: Frank ? (Chris Bradford)
Occupation: musician/newspaper vending machine filler
Allies: Jane, Carol
Enemies: Barnes, Edwards, Peter, James
Notable possessions: leather jacket, old station wagon, newspapers,
saxophone, bandage, aspirin
Goal: to banish his loneliness by having a loving relationship
with a woman (preferably Jane) that is based on much more than sex alone.
Obstacles: in order to do this, he must learn patience, persistence,
and understanding.
Other remarks: Frank knows he is being used by Carol to satisfy
her sexual desires, but he is desperately lonely and will take any female
companionship he can get until he meets his ideal genuine romantic partner.
He does all he can to draw Jane out of her shell. Apparently, he
has a particular attraction for blonde haired women. Frank has an
easy-going manner that lapses into occasional mild depression whenever
he dwells too hard on his loneliness. |
Name: Lester Jack Barnes (Larry Musser)
Occupation: security guard
Falsely considered allies: Jane, Mary
Enemies: Jane, Mary, Frank, Edwards, Peter
Notable possessions: divorce decree, pornography
Goal: to banish his loneliness by "taking care of" any woman
he fancies.
Obstacle: in the process of trying to do this, he is rejected
by these women, mainly because they see him as a "dirty old man".
Other remarks: It is not clear whether Barnes' dismal divorce
settlement drove him to "dirty" behaviour or if it was a result of such
behaviour. Either way, he is eager to find a woman of any age that
he can have some sort of sexual relationship with on his terms alone.
He cannot take "no" for an answer, particularly as he thinks any woman
he "likes" likes him too. Lewd and often fetishist behaviour towards
this end has seen him dismissed from earlier security roles. His
military intelligence training has provided him with useful research abilities
which he sometimes uses to pursue women. |
Name: Detective Daniel Edwards (Christopher Shyer)
Occupation: police officer
Falsely considered an ally: Jane
Enemies: Jane, Frank, Barnes, Peter
Notable possessions: Jane's murder case files
Goal: to "protect" women he encounters in a state of distress
while on duty by dating them and/or physically assaulting whoever has harmed
them.
Obstacle: some of these women are not as helpless as he supposes
and consider his offers of protection to be exploitative and totally unwanted
attempts at control.
Other remarks: Edwards tries to date the women he wants to
protect. Refusals lead to obsessive preoccupations with such women
which may lead to violence against them. He is also preoccupied with
the idea of celebrity, especially arising from notorious criminal cases. |
Name: Peter Lee Enric (Paul Jarrett)
Occupation: unknown
Falsely considered an ally: Jane
Enemies: Jane, Frank, Barnes, Edwards
Notable possessions: glasses, black clothing, book
on dealing with complex male-female relationships, notepad and pen, computer,
box cutters, magazine with Jane on cover
Goal: to banish his loneliness by sleeping with women who
fulfil his sexual fantasies.
Obstacle: women tend to reject him because of his aggressive
and depressed personality.
Other remarks: A classic stalker with a history of minor
crime, Peter cannot take "no" for an answer and obsessively researches
and actively pursues any woman he fancies. Any form of rejection
by the woman concerned just makes him more determined. Peter
has a preference for "younger women". |
Name: Mary Saleski (Sarah Rodgers)
Occupation: night cleaner
Ally: Jane
Enemy: Barnes
Notable possessions: personal diary, Hawaiian vacation souvenirs
Goal: to banish her loneliness by finding and living with
the man of her dreams.
Obstacles: she seems too old and desperate for most men and
has borderline lesbian inclinations.
Other remarks: Mary is frustrated by her inability to find
a new partner after the failure of her previous relationship six years
ago. Even warm, sunny Hawaiian vacations cannot banish this semi-despair.
She sees her only hope in placing ads in the personal columns of the local
newspaper. |
Name: Carol ? (Samantha Crew)
Occupation: nightclub server
Allies: Frank, Jane
Enemies: none
Notable possessions: flyers from sex clubs, drugs, keys to
Frank's apartment
Goal: to be as sexually adventurous as possible with no real
regard to issues of love.
Obstacle: none
Other remarks: Carol seems to have no problems with life
at all. As long as she gets promiscuous sex (straight and lesbian)
and drugs, her life is complete. Although she is attracted to her
co-worker Frank, she does not mind when his more subdued inclinations make
him look elsewhere. |
Name: James Streather DECEASED (James Bamford)
Occupation: fashion photographer
Falsely considered an ally: Jane
Enemies: Jane, Frank
Notable possessions: photographic studio, camera, camera
tripod
Goal: to satisfy his animalistic lust for Jane arising out
of her supposedly flirtatious behaviour around him and his cocaine drug
taking.
Obstacle: Jane's very strong determination not to be raped
and/or killed by anyone under any circumstances.
Other remarks: This famous New York fashion photographer
threw away his reputation and indeed his life in a foolish, inexcusable
and vicious act against his model client Jane. Initially, Jane was
put on trial for murder after she successfully defended herself against
the attack at the cost of James' life, but the truth was soon revealed
and Jane was set free. |
Name: Payton Rule (herself)
Occupation: musician
Allies: Jefreejon, Frank
Enemies: none
Notable possessions: skimpy clothing, microphone
Goal: to entertain patrons at the Nimble Hippo nightclub
with her singing in partnership with jefreejon and Frank.
Obstacle: none
Other remarks: She has a superb singing voice and public
relations skills. |
Name: jefreejon (himself)
Occupation: musician
Allies: Payton Rule, Frank
Enemies: none
Notable possessions: synthesizer, headphones
Goal: to entertain patrons at the Nimble Hippo nightclub
with his music in partnership with Payton Rule and Frank.
Obstacle: none
Other remarks: He knows how to create unforgettable electronica
musical compositions. A man of few words but tremendous talent. |
