"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."

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.

The Characters

01

Jaz

Lead — Primary Role

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.

Fiery Perceptive Deflecting Passionate

Audition Scenes

Scene 1 — Cold Open. Living room, night. The phone face-down on the couch.

Scene 2 — Kitchen / Dining. Food's hot. The fight that isn't about dinner.

Scene 17 — Office Bathroom. Kierra locks the door. Jaz finally talks.

Scene 25 — Kierra's apartment. Red eyes. He called it a lifestyle.

02

Rell

Supporting

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.

Charming Slick Complicit Familiar

Audition Scenes

Scene 4 — Front Door. Shows up uninvited. Goes straight to the right cabinet.

Scene 5 — Dining Table. Carries the energy. Charm meets pressure. Fork goes down.

Scene 6 — Front Door, leaving. The dap holds too long. "Love you, bro." — "Mm."

Scene 11 — Barbershop. They clock each other. Maximum distance. Nobody says a word.

Scene 23 — Phone call. Rell cracking. "Then stop calling me bro." — silence.

Scene 28 — Cortez Park. Bench. Thirty seconds of silence. "Tell me one true thing."

03

Kierra

Supporting

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.

Perceptive Warm Candid Fearless

Audition Scenes

Scene 16 — Office. Kierra drops into the chair. "What is going on with your face right now?"

Scene 17 — Office Bathroom. She locks the door. "Talk. Right now." Required for all Kierra submissions.

Scene 25 — Kierra's apartment. She holds Jaz together without letting her off the hook.

04

Darius

Supporting

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.

Grounded Direct Steady Loyal

Audition Scenes

Scene 9 — Gym, 5 AM. Spots the bar. "How long you been knowing?" Required.

Scene 24 — Darius's apartment. "Eat the food, Marcus." Stays present with someone falling apart.

Featured Scenes

01

Scene 1  ·  Jaz  ·  Int. Apartment, Living Room — Night

The phone is face-down on the couch.

Jaz relays her friend's situation with hands flying — he gives her nothing but presence. She's been looking for something specific in his face for days. He gives her nothing. Which is exactly what he always does when he's hiding something. Required for all Jaz submissions.

04

Scene 4  ·  Rell  ·  Int. Apartment, Front Door — Night

Rell shows up uninvited.

Big grin, bag from Ocho Rios. He moves past the door before being invited — goes straight to the right cabinet without asking. Doesn't hesitate. Just knows where it is. He's always known. That's the thing the scene can't say out loud. Required for all Rell submissions.

06

Scene 6  ·  Rell  ·  Int. Apartment, Front Door — Night

Rell leaving. The dap holds one second too long.

"You been moving different all night." Rell is probing carefully — trying to find out what's known. Marcus gives him nothing. "Drive safe." Rell pushes. "Love you, bro." Marcus: "Mm." The scene lives in what Rell is trying to get and can't.

09

Scene 9  ·  Darius  ·  Int. Gym — Early Morning

5 AM. Moving real weight. Like he's trying to press his way through a decision.

Darius walks in and spots him. Doesn't ask what's wrong — asks how long he's been knowing. Marcus keeps lifting. "Rack it." "I got it." "Rack the damn bar, Marcus." He racks it. Sits up breathing hard. Long silence. "Read her phone last week." This scene is the pivot of the entire film. Required for all Darius submissions.

16

Scenes 16–17  ·  Kierra  ·  Int. Office / Office Bathroom — Day

"What is going on with your face right now?"

Kierra drops into the chair. Jaz deflects. Kierra doesn't move. They relocate to the bathroom — Kierra checks the stalls, locks the door, and says: "Talk. Right now." Then Jaz says yes. The scene requires warmth that can hold its ground and a read on a friend that's never wrong. Required for all Kierra submissions.

24

Scene 24  ·  Darius  ·  Int. Darius's Apartment — Night

Marcus on the couch. Beer untouched. Darius says: "Eat."

He raised his voice for the first time in four years. Left before he said something he couldn't take back. Darius doesn't fix it — he just stays. "That was the right call." The scene is Darius at his most essential: present, steady, asking the next right question without performing either.

28

Scene 28  ·  Rell  ·  Ext. Cortez Park — Sunday, 2 PM

Full person of distance between them on the bench. Thirty seconds of silence.

"Before you say anything — tell me one thing that's actually true. Not an apology. Not an explanation. One true thing." Rell has been dreading this for four months. Every text. Every time Marcus called him bro and meant it. The most demanding thing the role asks for.
