Two-Can Casting
Hi there! Welcome to the submission page for TRASH BABY! If you are looking for another project, you’re in the wrong place!
ABOUT THE MOVIE
TRASH BABY is a coming-of-age drama that follows 12-year-old Stevie as she navigates growing up, getting out, and the art of finding beauty in the ugliest of places. We are currently set to shoot in Summer of 2023 in and around Portland, OR.
This Oregon-based film is written and directed by Jacy Mairs, a fellow trailer park kid and Oregonian. Staying true to its roots, this project will be produced in the Pacific Northwest by a cast and crew primarily composed of Oregon talent.
Please note: This is an R-rated motion picture containing adult themes, hard language, smoking, drinking and depictions of violence.
