LEOPOLD THE SHOE STORE- SAG FEATURE CASTING

LEOPOLD OF THE SHOE STORE - SAG feature film
Project Type: Feature film
Union Status: SAG
Pay Scale: SAG scale

Leopold of the Shoe Store is an Indie feature SAG (SAG low budget contract) farce to be shot on DV-Cam revolving around the adventures of a shoe store clerk named Leopold who becomes infatuated with a pretty actress named Kathy who one day purchases shoes at his store. In his quest for the girl he becomes enmeshed in a web of characters involved with, amongst other things, cocaine trafficking.

The plot is complex with most of the characters turning out to be in some way related to everyone else. Leopold who is the eternal jerk, works for Graham, the last word in pomposity. Kathy is friends with Rosellen, a sexy ditz. Rosellen's boyfriend Eric, is a big scary, macho, tattooed thug who "hates fags" but is tormented by homoerotic dreams. Pokrassa is his stupid henchman. Leopold's best friend is the eternally optimistic and happy blind antiques dealer, Pendleberry. Kathy's boyfriend Tommy is a handsome, aspiring actor whom Leopold is terribly jealous of. Buddy Nestor is a somewhat shady man about town who has a fling with Kathy and employs her in his antiques shop and whose caretaker, Glen, is a weirdo. Ultimately, Buddy runs afoul of Eric. There are flashbacks to Leopold's father, a hopeless gambler, and Leopold's dying mother, a former Ziegfeld Girl, (role is cast). There is Elmer, a nerdy little man who is bullied by Leopold into buying shoes that are too tight and whose large girlfriend Diane, is determined to get revenge.
