Romantic Comedy Feature Casting All Major Parts

STORYLINE: “The Wrong Guy,” a character-driven relationship comedy-drama, tells the story of JEREMY, an early 30s commitment-phobe as he struggles to get out of his 2 and a half year relationship with a borderline-suicidal flight attendant. This leads to much reflection as he examines how he got into this particular relationship, why it went as far as it did, and possible reasons why he may be unable to love.

Deferred pay, credit, copy, and meals provided for all parts.

[JEREMY] Late 20s - 30s, an assistant editor for a prominent magazine. He has had 36 relationships, all of which lasted less than four months. Jeremy is desperate to end his current (and longest) relationship, but just can't get himself to do it. Any ethnicity…LEAD.

[CLAUDIA] Mid 30s - 40s, female. She's a very vivacious flight attendant. Out of devotion and a love of drama, she attends her friend Chip’s concerts, nurses him through Xanax overdoses and seeks revenge against those who wronged him. One senses her bond with Chip stems from a bruised psyche and a checkered relationship history. Any ethnicity.

[GRETCHEN] Mid 20s - 30s, female. An acerbic, bitter smoker and Jeremy’s best friend. Gretchen can only see cold, hard reality and, although Jeremy frequently uses her as a sounding board, she almost never tells him what he wants to hear. Any ethnicity

[STU] 30s, An ostentatious, flamboyant magazine journalist and masseur.. Any ethnicity.

[EVAN] 20's, A charismatic recent UCLA graduate, now working as a coffee shop barista. Evan is all about having a good time and trying new things.

"Perfectly Legal": Feature Now Casting All Principal Roles

"Perfectly Legal", a feature-length drama with some funny and steamy moments, is preparing for production in the L.A. area this March. All major roles are still being cast and there is pay for all parts.

STORY LINE: An up-and-coming female attorney is defending a case against the top law firm in the city. Caught in a love triangle between the plaintiff and the prosecuting attorney, she finds herself torn between sexual desire and her love for work.


[TAYLOR PRICE] Late 20’s, impossibly gorgeous, independent woman, beautiful body. Her eyes sparkling with intelligence. A little selfish with her time and work, she forgets all others when it comes to her firm, "Price, Inc." She is a dedicated Divorce Attorney, although she’s broke and lives in a small apartment, she chooses to believe in justice more than Money.

[VAL] 30’s, gorgeous, quintessential career waitress with the body of Sophia Loren.

[BOBBY ARMSTRONG] 20s - 30s A little frazzled and nervous but, young, eager, and very protective of his formidable boss (Taylor). He is handsome in a geeky kind of way (think Clark Kent) the kind that doesn’t look like much on the surface, but turns out to be a tiger in the sack.

[TOM] 20’s, very handsome. He is very tanned, athletic looking, handsome in that Marlboro Man/ cowboy way (think Jon Bon Jovi) that most women find irresistible. He is in love with Taylor, but wants more from a woman in a relationship

[DAVID WENTWORTH THE FIFTH] 30s, he is a handsome man with a dazzling smile. He is smart and knows it! He is singularly one of the most successful young lawyers at HARPER, WENTWORTH & MARKS, the most prestigious law firm in town.

[GEORGE] 30’s, handsome, owner of the local bar, brooding, and perpetually cranky

Note: Most of the roles do involve tasteful nudity.
