Seeking Female Actor ages 16 - 18 for amatuer drama film
Hey there,

If your reading this im assuming you either fit the bill or are just interested. Both are cool. So basicaly, im a film maker at heart. Always have been, always will be. And as such, I make movies. Their not big budget block busters their just simply indie movies I usualy make with my friends. However, the film im currently working on im taking alot more seriously then the rest. Its a dramatic film that focuses on drug addiction, relationships that form and revolve around drug use and how it affects those involved. Im really passionate about this project and I really want to make this something speacial. Something real (not to sound corny). 

Ive got the script written and I've already started shooting a few of the scenes. However, one of the spots hasent been filled. That is the role of Abigail.

Heres the lowdown:

This movie will follow a serious heroin addict named Douglas on the path to sobriety and a life not devoted to junk. (think Mark Renton from "Trainspotting") And how his drug addiction has influenced his relationships. With friends and in a romantic sense.

Its going to be a pretty gritty movie. I've never been one to pull punches.

The role of Abigail:

Abigail is Douglas's girlfriend. The relationship between Douglas and Abigail is a twisted one. The first time they met, they bonded over drug use. And due to that, the core of their relationship revolves around the drug. Allthough they love eachother, they will not be able to realize this love until they can shake their addictions. How can you think about the girl you love, when all you care about is when you can get high next? She is a bit of a floozy. Douglas and Abigail are known to resort to prostituting Abbi for drug money. Which is very psychologicaly painful. Abbi was raised in an orphanage, never knew her parents. She turned to a life of drugs when she was 15. One of her foster parents offered her a joint and she became addicted to the high. Due to the fact that she was in alot of foster homes, she was sexualy abused by alot of the men who adopted her. Because she was so young, and no one had told her differently. She thought it was ok. Allthough it tormented her deeply. She realised early on, that if she allowed these men to abuse her without any resistance she seemed to be rewarded in the form of being able to stay up late or go out whenever she wanted. And due to that, she is very twisted moraly.

As you can see, its a fairly odd role. But one that is crucial to the story. If you think you have the guts to tackel it, or just want a bit more information. Contact me at my email:

Matt
