Tight Shots is about a group of recent film school grads sharing a cramped Brooklyn loft and trying to make their work. They are oversexed and underpaid, so of course trouble ensues.

Cast
Audrey Gelman is a senior at Oberlin College. She is studying politics and is currently an intern at the Senate office of Hillary Rodham Clinton. She is combining her interests in cinema and current events in an upcoming blog, which will be a political digest for young people in the creative arts.
Sara Rossein is a student at Hunter College and a native New Yorker to boot. She acts, makes movies and cooks a mean pork chop. She can canoe quite fast and has a body like a track star.
Teddy Blanks is a graphic designer for Winterhouse Studio in Falls Village, Connecticut. His band, The Gaskets, provided all of the music for Tight Shots, and he designed its opening title sequence. He writes film criticism for Not Coming and RVA Magazine.
Ariel, "Rel", is as New York as a bagel. His character in Tight Shots is completely realistic. He was completely unaware of the camera and was actually trying to sleep with everyone in the cast. He thought the director was his personal social motivator. He is a member of Red Bucket Films and runs a film production company called Supermarché. His favorite song is "Come Softly to Me" by the Fleetwoods.
Samuel Kelman is a man with a plan. Adored by many, he is often compared to the late James Dean. He is union.

Guest Stars
Carlen Altman is a comedian born and raised in New York City. When she's not making people laugh and/or cry at comedy clubs across the city, she can be found feverishly making little web videos starring her and her deranged family (her kooky mom, 7 guinea pigs, and other adorably creepy characters) which can be found at her blog and www.myspace.com/toiletime. Carlen is always looking to make new friends and partners in crime so "holler at yo' gurl," if you dare.
This is the anonymous biographer of Josh Safdie. He was supposed to be a bigger part of this show, but grew insane. Some people (Brett and Sam) were concerned, but that slowly faded as he replaced insaneness with business. He was born and raised in New York and his car was just stolen. A man named Kurtis lived in it for 2 weeks and kept a diary. Well he kept my diary. I found the car. I also am a member of Red Bucket Films. Oh yeah, i love Lena.
Grace Dunham was born in 1992. She speaks very good Italian and enjoys art, design and foods from around the globe. She has appeared in Teen Vogue magazine in multiple times. She's a stupid little brat.
