In a twist of fate, both men are felled by a tree and are forced to lie helpless next to each other, each hoping that their own men find them first. As the minutes tick by, their shared hatred begins to wane With a new perspective on things, both men realize how silly their petty argument is, and both agree that once they are rescued, there will at last be peace between the two families. After more unbearable waiting, figures finally approach. George and Richard, newfound friends, are now saved...or are they?

Casting Call

(Lead)   George/Richard          

Gender: Male    Age: 40-70
Gruff, woodsmen type of guys. They are constantly furious and despise each other in a ‘Seinfeld – Newman’ type of way.

The actor should have a good sense of comic timing and might be required to grow a beard.

George and Richard's loving wives. They put up with their husband's grumblings but are obviously not as interested in the feud as they are. One line of dialogue. 1 scene.

(Featured Extra)   Militia      

Gender: Male    Age: 20-70
Conscripted by George and Richard to patrol and guard the forest, they have to endure a rallying pep talk given to them by their less-than-inspirational leaders. The actor will be required to hold a prop firearm. 1 scene.
