Non-Union(2009)

Non-Union follows Will and Corey, two Detroit-area actors grinding through the independent film scene while working full-time jobs to make ends meet. The series captures the unglamorous reality of pursuing acting careers outside the studio system, where day jobs and auditions compete for the same exhausted hours. Will and Corey navigate the pitfalls of low-budget productions, difficult casting directors, and the constant financial pressure that comes with chasing an unlikely dream. Non-Union is a comedy that finds humor in the struggle itself—the rejection, the networking, the small roles that lead nowhere. It's a portrait of ambition colliding with practicality, set against the backdrop of a Midwest city where making it in entertainment feels simultaneously possible and impossibly far away.
