Project
description: "The story of Faith, a girl who loses her father when she
is eleven years old. When a suicide attempt after his funeral fails
Faith is convinced that she has proved there is no God. The film picks
up with Faith at eighteen and rebelling against her mother and Catholic
school society. When Faith gets expelled from school her mother
Christina suggests she go live with her cousin Phoebe in Philadelphia
and try to find something in this life that will make her happy. When
Faith gets to Philadelphia she discovers that the life she thought she
wanted does not make her happy either. So she is left questioning who
she truly is and what she believes."
Seeking—Faith: 18-20,
a High school senior, tall, slender, black hair, dark eyes, rebellious,
intelligent, jaded, topless nudity required for s strip club scene, and
a scene where she is photographed after passing out. Phoebe:
21-25, Faith's older cousin, a cross between Edie Sedgwick, Zelda
Fitzgerald and a suicide girl, a stripper and Bohemian princess, must
have tattoos, piercings preferred, roll requires some topless nudity for
strip club scenes, and simulated sex scene. Byron: 25-30, a
Henry Rollins type, lead singer of the rock band "Rude Mechanicals",
intelligent, artistic and manipulative, lives off his girlfriend
Phoebe's income. Rich: 29-34, a talented photographer who's
managed to find a balance between pursuing his art with the Bohemian
types and making a living shooting family portraits. Christina: 35-40, Faith's mother, at the end of her rope with her rebellious daughter, loving, kind, patient (except for now - when she's at the end of her rope. Then she is short-tempered and ready to ship her kid off the Whoretown). Father Bezanson:
24-27, a young priest who connects with Faith, a forward thinker and
attractive priest (ummm, what?). He understands that Faith is the only one who can
make her life peaceful.
To apply, submit pix & resumes XXXXX.
No pay, but copy, credit & meals provided.
The town's name is Virginville? No towns are named Virginville. It would only attract two types of people: overprotective dads and creepy men.
And the girl's name is Faith? And her mother - who sends her to Catholic school - her name is Christina? This is all a little heavy-handed, dontcha think?
Or... perhaps Virginville does exist... somewhere near Pussy Valley, or... Beyond the Palisades??? (These two projects should get married.)
