"Five Star Realtors" is an absurd satire of large property management companies, and how many of them have been accused of treating their tenants: misleading leases, withholding deposits, hidden fees. I have seen property management companies do some really sketchy things, they get caught, and then get the lightest slap on the wrist imaginable after taking advantage of their tenants. I, along with the greatest all-volunteer cast and crew of all time, made "Five Star Realtors" with the intention to make fun of this ridiculous world we live in—where massive companies can take advantage of people and get off almost scot-free. It is not right, but it's the reality we live in, so why not make fun of it and laugh at it, at least for 12 minutes and fifty-six seconds.

The mastermind behind the entire scheme, Sarah believes that they are entitled to the money they are scheming to scam out of their tenants.

Charles Dumont grew up in Granada, Spain and moved to the United States at the age of 16. While that did not make him really good at flamenco guitar, it did make him fluent in Spanish and an excellent dancer. Charles came into acting through an unusual path. His first career was in the space technology sector, where he designed electronics for satellites and interplanetary spacecraft. A highlight was getting to design hardware for the Spirit and Opportunity rovers that landed on Mars. In fact, there is a little metal plaque on Mars with his name on it in a tiny font. After retiring, Charles took an acting class and never looked back. Charles is passionate about helping to tell grandiose stories like the ones that fired his imagination as a kid. He hopes to play a wizard some day, even just once.
