LOW BUDGET FEATURE FILM, NEW YORK
Producer: Justice Group. Filming over six months in New York City, starts ASAP. Payment is on a lo/no/deferred basis. Non- Union. Director: Dashiell Finley/Riley Gay. Email headshots/ resume to justicegroup@gmail.com. Seth Baker is a popular kid at Benjamin Franklin Preparatory School. However, come the summer time, he finds all his friends have left the city for faraway places. Pushed to the limit by boredom, Seth contacts an old camp friend Graham Bishop, with whom he’d had a falling out. Graham welcomes Seth with open arms, and invites him to hang out with his friends that weekend. This group of eccentrics makes Seth uncomfortable at first, but he decides to stick around to try to get the attention of Graham’s friend Maxine Small. What follows is Seth growing to fit in with these oddballs, and discovering that maybe they’re not as weird as he thought. Web: http://justicegroup.wiki.com. Seeking: Max: 15-17, the beautiful girl who encapsulates Seth’s attention during his first visit to Graham’s house. With cutting wit and sarcasm, she quickly puts Seth in his place. This drives Seth crazy, as he is used to getting the girl. Max is the deep thinker of the group, she’s usually armed with some overlooked insight about the personality or group dynamic of people being discussed. She knows people, and loves to push their buttons. Sam: 15-17, the film’s antagonist. He’s secretly in love with Max, but won’t let anybody know it. A delinquent to the extreme, the kid pisses alcohol and breathes weed. He has difficulty taking responsibility for his own faults and laziness. His love for Max is challenged when she and Seth start going out, and he hatches a plot to get Seth to embarrass himself and insult Max, at which point he swoops in and picks up the pieces. Due to his nowhere-man tendencies however, things fall apart as quickly as they came together. Todd: 15-17, a satirical character, poking fun at emo kids, as well as the rise in self- mutilation as a form of release. Todd is plagued with never feeling good enough, he even feels like a second class cutter when compared to his girlfriend Sarah. His problems are mostly, if not entirely, imagined. Constantly clad in a dark blue hoody and girl pants, he loves Simple Plan and livejournal poetry. Sarah: 15-17, like Todd, is a satire on the emo culture. She is not quite as introverted as Todd, and in fact often seems to be in a good mood. However a quick glance at the scars on her arms reveals that she has gone through some deep emotional trauma. Still, she is a pleasant person to be around. Hailing from New Jersey, she is a proud member of the church of hot topic. She falls for Todd, seeing in him a rich creative soul and she just loves guys in girl pants. Aaron: 15 -17, spends most of his time on the internet memorizing facts that he has absolutely no use for. He loves comic books to a fault, and will often interject some superheroes into everyday conversation. Outgoing, nice and accepting the way only a nerd can be. He took “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” to heart, and so with this group, is often more quiet than the other characters.
