Storyline: In a dusty run-down bar, Clive- a broke, down-and-out everyman—stumbles upon a briefcase overflowing with cash. With dollar signs in his eyes, he devises an increasingly absurd plan to smuggle the money out without raising suspicion. As greed and paranoia get the better of him, chaos ensues. What begins as a stroke of luck spirals into disaster in this wordless, slapstick comedy about greed and the absurd lengths people will go to keep it.
SEEKING
[BAROWNER] the straight man to the chaos his dive bar and CLIVE create. Antithesis to CLIVE. He has seen it all before and then some. Unfazed. Loves his bar, knows everyone’s order/remedy even if they don’t know it themselves. He is the constant of this establishment and its’ clientele need. A confident confidant. The authorities know he allows no trouble and don’t tend to bother him. Not quite stoic, but so close.
Please note the role of CLIVE is already cast.
SUPPORTING
Shoots for 1-3 days @ $155/DAY. All interiors. Each shoot day is from 8am-4pm.
Thank you in advance for your submission!
