Casting Notice NY

From my friend who is shooting a short film in New York:

TITLE: THE PROPOSAL GENRE: Dark Comedy Short Film FORMAT: HD

Shoot/Start Date: Late April/Early May

Location: New York City Area

SYNOPSIS :

GENE is back in his old hometown to propose to his girlfriend GRACE and runs into old friend JACK who convinces him that he needs the perfect ring for the proposal. Jack introduces Gene to JEZEBEL who shows them the most spectacular rock, a.k.a, the “One.” The “One” goes missing and JEZEBEL will have her payback one way or another before time runs out.

SEEKING ACTORS strong in comedy AND drama:

GENE , Asian American male, 25-35, is a high-flying Wall Street-type who thinks it's about time he got married. While he appears to be self-assured, he seems motivated more by practicality than emotion when it comes to affairs of the heart.

JACK , Asian American male, 25-40, is a former high-flying New York Wall Street type who has undergone a mysterious transformation and is now a florist in his old small suburban hometown.

JEZEBEL , female (Caucasian or Asian American but Asian American is a plus), 21-35, is a former model/actress/cabaret singer who has fallen from grace and is now living at home in her parent's basement, selling jewelry and working part-time as a dominatrix.

GRACE , Asian American female 25-35. She is the good girl, the perfect girl, and, ostensibly, the “One” for Gene.

Production Info:

Producer/Director: John C. Kim Director of Photography: Eric Lin Writer: Gene Kim
