CASTING BREAKDOWN FOR:

TAYLOR

F 18-25

Effortlessly stylish young model with a contagious laugh and a questionable biography. She’s nervous, cunning, ditzy, and bemused. Her stories go on forever. She parties and travels, cons and persuades. She totally doesn't even know whose party this is!

She’s shacked up with this rich photographer, Angelo. He’s like, pretty talented! But he’s a bit of a bore, so she’s always checking out the scene for a muse of her own. Just like a cool chick or whatever. Someone to party with. Maybe ghost on this guy Angelo. Split with his cash. And forget everything she knows about his terrifying past, this horrible secret that lingers one step behind him, and threatens to swallow everything in its path.

She is one part Anna Faris in "Lost in Translation" and one part Alice Pagani in “Baby”.

** Directors Note: Taylor is an extremely fun character but an extremely important one to the film.  She was one of my favorite characters to write. We are looking for someone who - although animated and ditzy - is in complete control of her mannerisms and her charm, who can slide in an out of emotions and keep people around her engaged and off balance.  This is an excellent role for that rare actress that can play seductress as well as land comedic punchlines.
