The Ultimate Ultimate Frisbee Movie: The Characters

The Ultimate Ultimate Frisebee Movie
By Brian Anthony Skinner

List of Players:

Tim MacDonald - Our protaganist and a charitable chap, age 27, ordinary looking, currently down on his luck. With the Professional Ultimate Frisbee league using scab players during a strike, he's had to take a job at a fast food restaurant, where he actually makes slightly more money than he did playing Ultimate Frisbee. An everyman, except he plays Ultimate Frisbee.

Pam Timmons - Tim's current girlfriend. With Tim's glamourous life as a professional athlete on hold, their relationship has grown strained. A willowy blonde, 25, her moods and wants change as quickly as the winds blow. And boy, do they blow. Currently employed as a high level thesaurus researcher, one of the fastest up and comers in the thesaurus business.

Kim Edition - The first and only female professional Ultimate Frisbee player. With the players striking for more money, and having been replaced by scabs (who draw bigger crowds than the real professionals did), she's like a boat without an anchor. Thus she's taken a job on a fishing boat, and doesn't always smell good. Has a crush on Tim, and hates Pam. Maybe hates Pam more than she likes Tim sometimes. A woman of strong likes and dislikes. A short dark haired girl, probably around 27 years old.

Jeff Willard - Tim's best friend and Ultimate Frisbee teammate. As members of the Nova Scotia Bluenoses, they have bonded over many a thrown frisbee. A tall, large fellow, he has a tendancy to tell people exactly what's on his mind, even people he doesn't know. Is living off his savings (aka, his girlfriend's money) while the union strikes. May have caused most of the problems between the union and the owners. Hates scabs with an incredible passion. Has an obssession with horses and Bruce Willis.

Mark Green - Another teammate of Tim's, whom he and Jeff hang around with and practice Ultimate Frisbee with. Former water polo player turned Ultimate Frisbeer, perhaps the greatest former water polo player turned Ultimate Frisbee player ever. Has a tendancy to not be thinking what you might think he's thinking at any particular time. Wears ridiculous hats that he thinks makes him look charismatic.

Jayne MacDonald - Tim's mother, in her mid-60s. Overprotective and nosey about everything in Tim's life. Wishes he could have followed her life's dream for him: to work in a bank as a bank teller. Those people have it all, and work so hard, from what she can tell.

Donald MacDonald - Tim's father. A former sailor. Tries not to curse like a sailor, but some circumstances deserve it. Hardly ever knows what's going on in Tim's life, but not because he doesn't care, it's just that he doesn't put much of his mind power towards anything that isn't floating on water.

Danger Dan - Or DD, Tim's cat. A black and white tuxedo cat. Is always getting in trouble off camera and occasionally just decides to sit in front of someone and meow constantly. Usually Pam. Mark thinks DD would be a great pet for adventuring around the world with, and comes up with scenerios that he and DD would live through, for reasons nobody can figure out. Mark has his own cat.


Act 1, Scene 1 to come.
