[Matthew Bendon]

Frenchsmanward

Plot: The comical misadventures of Jon and Giselle, two American street performers living in the fictional country of Frenchtown. The duo face countless oppression from French society on their never-ending quest for happiness.

Characters:

Jon (Mid to Late 20s)-A very confident and determined man, despite the fact that he is not the brightest bulb in the bunch. Plays tambourine in the band and occasionally sings. Keeps a surprisingly positive attitude throughout despite the circumstances. Loves his sister Giselle very much and ultimately only wants what's best for her, but sometimes gets too caught up in himself to see the bigger picture. He greatly misses his friend Jacque.

Giselle (Mid to Late 20s)-Jon's sister and keyboardist. The "straight man" to Jon. While Jon is constantly getting wrapped up in his own schemes and ideas, she is the only one who rationally sees reality for what it is. She is constantly pointing to Jon how ridiculous everything he says is, but never really seems to be heard. 

Jacque (Mid to Late 20s)-Real name is Billy. Friend of Jon and Giselle. Was the leader and main singer of the group. After growing tired of the all the oppression he faced for being American, he decided to assimilate to French society. He developed a new style of clothing and changed his name to Jacque. Very flamboyant and over the top in everything he does, from the way he acts and talks to the way he dresses.

Shooting is set to begin in the springtime. Actors shall be reimbursed for their travel as well as fed on set. Compensation shall be discussed.

If interested please send your resume and headshot.

Thank You!
