Audition notice for "Dating in This Town"

Seeking actresses for a relationship comedy about the struggles men and women face in dating and relationships. This is a non-union, non paid project. Copy, credit, and meals will be provided.

Movie will be filmed in Las Vegas, with a shoot date of late July/early August.

Auditions will be held mid July in Las Vegas. Submission deadline is June 29th. Time, date, and location of audition will be emailed. Sides will be emailed a week prior to auditions.

The intent with this film is to gain exposure and secure distribution through the film festival circuit (Sundance, Raindance, Toronto, Austin, Tribeca, etc).

This is a project written, directed, produced, and funded by me. And although this is the definition of "micro-budget", with the strength script and a relatable story, I'm certain we can make something truly special together, taking the film festival circuit by storm. I have a dozen other original scripts in various stages of development. "Dating in This Town" is the first step to making the rest of them a reality.

Loosely based on my life over the last few years, this is the story of a heartbroken man and a jaded woman. Both looking for that elusive connection in this difficult town. It's a dialogue heavy, cynical comedy.

I will be playing the role of Ben; a heartbroken guy, trying to get over his ex, and maybe trying too hard to make a connection with the women he dates.

Seeking actresses for the following roles:

Jamie: A salesperson in her late 20s, she flirts with Ben to close a deal. Of course he mistakes this flirtation for her actually liking him, and not just a means to an end to sell him some palm trees for the landscaping company where he works in the creative yard design department. She's sexy and tough, yet shows an almost innocent, flirtatious side. Is she just closing a deal, or is there something there between them?

Sharay: When the construction company where she worked closed its doors after the housing market crashed, Sharay was out of a job. A friend convinced her to try going on a call for an escort service. Hesitant at first, but being the kind of woman with tremendous sex appeal, and the confidence to own any room she walked into, she gave it a shot. And her mortgage wasn't going to pay itself. The money was great and the schedule was even better. But after 5 years in the business, and now in her mid 30s, she's begun to despise the men who paid for her Escalade, and handbags, and designer clothes. She's ready to leave the business, but has one last client to see.

Marcy: An exercise enthusiast with a stunning body, and an equally capable mind for business, her new niche diet has taken the marketplace by storm. But now she's on the verge of turning 30, and there's one thing missing; the right guy to share her life. She takes a shot with a guy who is a little different than the typical muscle head she usually dates. Will this be the love connection that's been missing from her life? Or will he fail to measure up to her expectations?

Jillian: She turns laps at the roller derby at night, and turns wrenches as a motorcycle mechanic by day. And in her mid 30s, she's as tough as she is sexy. Jillian doesn't take any shit from anyone. Not even the guys she dates. And to see if they can pass the test, she brings her first dates to the derby, to see how they react to being beaten up by a girl.

Victoria: As a cocktail waitress, the money and the attention come equally as easy. Now in her late 30s, the endless hours on her feet have taken their toll on her body. Finding a decent guy plugging away his paycheck in a slot machine isn't gonna happen. She meets a guy online. After several texts and phone calls, she begins to feel comfortable with him. Maybe too comfortable. When they finally meet for their first date, she begins to tell him everything. Including her crippling pill addiction and the crazy men from her past.

Danielle: Jilted by her ex fiancé, and in her mid 20s, she's ready to settle down. But she doesn't want any surprises. She meets a guy she feels that initial connection, but doesn't want to take any chances. She's sweet, yet vulnerable, but trying to be strong. With a heart still healing, she presents a relationship contract to the new man in her life. All the important milestones are outlined. But does he want the certainty (and lack of mystery) it provides?
