"When the receipts come out, it's never about what was found — it's about everything that was already known and nobody said out loud."— Written by Fillmore Neal · BCE Pictures, LLC
About the Project
Got Receipts is a grounded, performance-driven drama rooted in Black social and cultural life. It lives in the gap between what people know and what they choose not to say — and what happens when that silence finally breaks.
What We're After
This film is built on tension, behavior, and emotional realism. We are looking for performers who can hold subtext without showing it — people who understand that restraint is a form of power.
Production Window
Filming June–August 2026 | Phoenix, Arizona
Final schedule based on casting readiness and rehearsal preparation.
Distribution
This film will be distributed. Low-budget production. Compensation details will be discussed with selected talent.
Principal Roles
Black Female · 28–34
Sharp, expressive, and emotionally fluent — but she's built a habit of making hard things sound like they're happening to other people. She's losing a situation she already understands to a story she hasn't had the nerve to speak. Her fire is the engine of every scene she's in, and the moments she goes quiet are the most dangerous ones.
Black Male · 30–35
Big grin, bigger presence — Rell is the kind of man who invented showing up uninvited and expects the world to be grateful. He's always been like this. That's what makes his presence in this story so unsettling: nothing about him is new, which means the danger was always already there.
Black Female · 28–34
Jaz's mirror and her mirror-break. Kierra sees through fronts, calls them out with warmth, and refuses to let her friend stay in her own silence. She arrives in scenes like punctuation — clarifying, complicating, necessary. Her instincts are almost always right, which is both her gift and her burden.
Black Male · 32–38
The anchor in the room when things go sideways. Darius is the man who walks in, reads everything immediately, and can't pretend he didn't. He carries weight without performing it — the kind of person who knows when to push and when to simply be present with someone falling apart.
Black Female · 50–62
Jaz's mother. Sharp, loving, and clear-eyed in the way only a parent can be — she sees both sides of a situation and refuses to pretend that's comfortable. She doesn't perform warmth. She doesn't soften hard truths. When someone needs a straight answer, she gives it, even when giving it costs her something.
Audition Scenes
Lead — Primary Role · Scene 1 — Required
You're carrying a secret that could end your relationship. You're in the same room as your partner, talking about something completely unrelated, and somewhere in the middle of it you realize he's not really present. Something is off. You don't know what he knows. You keep talking.
Supporting · Scene 4 — Required · Scene 28 — Optional
Scene 4 (Required)
You've done something that would destroy your closest friendship if it came out. You're at his place acting completely normal — because normal is the only move you have. You don't know if he knows yet.
Scene 28 (Optional)
He knows. You're finally in the same room. He's calm — which is worse than if he was angry. He asks you for one true thing. Not an apology. Not an explanation. Just something real.
Supporting · Scenes 16–17 — Required
You know your friend well enough to know when something is wrong. She's been off for weeks and she won't say why. You get her alone, you close the door, and you don't let her deflect her way out of it. When she finally tells you — it's worse than you expected.
Supporting · Scene 9 — Required · Scene 24 — Optional
Scene 9 (Required)
Your closest friend is in pain and he won't say it out loud. You show up, you read it immediately, and you stay with him until he lets something out. You don't push — you just make it clear you're not leaving until he's honest.
Scene 24 (Optional)
He's been blindsided by a betrayal and he has nowhere else to go. He's sitting in your space, holding it together on the outside. You don't try to fix it. You just make sure he's not alone in it.
Supporting · Scene 19 — Required
You reached out to your daughter's partner — not your daughter — because you already sensed something was broken and you knew he wouldn't call first. He tells you what happened. You already almost knew. He asks you one question: does she actually love him? Not out of habit. Not out of comfort. Actually. You answer honestly. Then he asks why. You don't have that answer — and you don't pretend to.
