Synopsis:
Mnemosyne Rising is the story of a lone transmitter pilot in orbit around a newly discovered moon of Neptune who begins to experience unusual flashbacks. With a rendezvous ship still months away, he must uncover the truth behind the reawakening of his long-forgotten memories – memories of the wife that he left behind.

Casting:
SARAH - Female Lead. Early 30s. Independent and head strong, but not immune to the sting of love. Discovers that her husband is planning to join a space expedition leaving her with one chance to save their relationship. The perfect blend of ancestry that makes it impossible to tell where she’s from. Will require 1 shooting day in Austin, and 1 in Houston. Casting state-wide.

JORGENS (voice only) - Male. Middle-aged. Australian or English. The gruff, cranky veteran of many mining missions. Doesn’t take shit but gives a whole hell of a lot of it.
