- Job Requirements: Must be local to location (or willing to work as a local).
The project is a short film that revolves around a guy who is teleported into a room with the only people who have ever seen him naked. It's a comedy, definitely, but it's a grounded one. I'm aiming for a tone that's more based in our world. Just genuine, honest, real, emotional earnestness.
The intended tone is more in the vein of these things:
500 Days of Summer
The Spectacular Now
Other People
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
20th Century Women
Don't Think Twice
Frances Ha
Love
Master of None
The point is that it's an undoubtedly goofy premise, but it's infused with actual emotional stakes. That's what's so exciting to me about it: that we could take such a ridiculous, SNL-sketch-ready idea and make it actually be about something. "Her" isn't really about a guy who falls in love with a computer. "Up" isn't really about a house that can fly via balloons. And this short film isn't really about a guy who is teleported into a room with the only people who have ever seen him naked.
The idea that we can find something meaningful to say within such a goofy conceit is why I want to make this film.
If you're interested, I will send you the script. Thanks for your time!
