Magdalene Lowrance
Over lunch in a quiet restaurant, two old friends—Lynette and Gail—reconnect, their easy banter masking years of buried emotion. What begins as a lighthearted catch-up slowly unfolds into a charged and painful confession. Gail, married but restless, reveals that she has been thinking about an affair. Her casual tone and sharp humor hint that the affair she wants isn’t with just anyone—it’s with Lynette, her best friend.
As wine glasses empty and the afternoon light fades, the subtext becomes impossible to ignore. Lynette, seemingly composed and loyal to her husband, struggles to balance curiosity, guilt, and the pull of an intimacy she’s never named aloud. The conversation—full of interruptions, nervous laughter, and the sound of acrylic nails tapping on a glass like a clock—becomes a test of boundaries, truth, and desire.
By the time the check arrives, what’s left between them is raw honesty: the recognition that love, friendship, and betrayal can blur until there’s no safe way back. The scene ends not with resolution, but with the quiet ache of what might have been.
Anything for You is a compact, emotionally layered exploration of repression, attraction, and the fragile line between friendship and longing.
FILM DATES: November 21, 22, and 23.

Lynette – LEAD. 30s. Any Ethnicity. Female. From a young age, Lynette has always been a captivating and eye-catching woman. While she’s in a happy, loving marriage with her husband Richard, Lynette craves nothing more than a fiery meeting, a passionate fling, a one-time affair. Her best friend, Gail, is the only one she can talk to about this and the only one she’d be willing to have the affair with.

However, in her current state, she is frazzled, persistent, a bit manipulative, and on the verge of a mental break if she doesn’t achieve her goal.
Gail – LEAD. 30s. Any Ethnicity. Female. Gail has always been shadowed by Lynette and pushed around in their friendship, but this doesn’t stop her fierce loyalty to Lynette.

Even though Gail is married to her husband George, it’s only a way to distract her from her feelings for Lynette.
