Merritt is a junior communication arts-film and women's studies double
major at Malone University. His debut film, "Welcome to the Mind of
Calpurnia Jones" was successfully funded on kickstarter and premiered at
the Open Frame Film Festival last April. He would love you to help with
his upcoming film, "It's a one time thing (it just happens... a lot)"</font></div><br>"It's a one time thing (it just happens... a lot)"<font size="3"> is
a dialogue driven dramedy (in the vein of mumblecore) that seeks to
explore milennial anxiety and self-destructive behaviours. Ellie Foreman
is a twenty-three year old woman. "She is in a really weird place right
now." In the course of this short film she tries to deal with writer's
block, losing her job, a missed period, a one-night stand who won't
leave her alone, and falling in love with her friend with benefits. <br>

of our lack of budget, this is a passion project and the acting will be
on a pro-bono basis. Of course, food will be provided on-set and anyone
acting will be allowed to use footage for their reel. Filming will take
place in the Canton area in March. We will gladly send a copy of the
script upon request, and film reels will be accepted in place of
auditions. <br></font></div>

ELLIE FOREMAN, 23 years old, is a recent college graduate. She is mildly overweight (but she is very comfortable with her body) and has short
mousy brown hair and brown eyes. She is a chain smoker and a heavy
drinker. She is self-involved and self-destructive. <br>
ROSEMARY DEGAS, mid-twenties, is Ellie's waifish roommate and best friend. She has been described as an "ethereal Annie Hall." She is the responsible adult to Ellie's immature "screw-up." Ellie tends to only talk to Rosemary about her own problems.<br>
DAN GREENE, 24-26, is Ellie's friend with benefits (with whom she might be in love). He is a lanky Jewish musician and slacker. Despite letting Ellie spend the night on occasion, he insists that their relationship is "no strings attached."<br>
JOEL AARONS, 24-26, is a former one night stand of Ellie's who comes back
into her life when she and Rosemary pick him up off the side of the
road. He has dirty blonde hair and is rarely seen without a hat. </font></div>

In the mind of the director, the roles of Ellie and Dan would require partial nudity but if you are uncomfortable with the idea of that don't hesitate to contact us anyway. We would never want to turn away an actor simply because (s)he is uncomfortable with nudity nor would we want to make anyone do anything that they are
uncomfortable with. <font size="3">If you have any questions or would like to look at the script, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO SEND AN E-MAIL.<br></font></div></div></body></html>
