Orphan Girl A24 Flick
(Unfunded)
7 year old orphan girl leaves the dentist, post root canal, and sucks on a green apple Jolly Rancher, just to feel something. She's waiting for the Metro 147. She pays in dimes and nickels.
Audience weeps.
Table read is tedious but
successful (85% of movie is B roll).
Played by 5'6" adult actress
- cinematographer is livid**
Proposal:
Marry off 7- year- old
Roadblocks:
Several child services agencies reach out to studio expressing concern. Problem dealt with swiftly-- there is studio protocol re: handling such issues.
**Cinematographer abandons shoot (subsequent delay in filming)
-Protestation: Refuses to lower shot to accommodate 5'6" actress and 5'7" male counterpart
# Works exclusively with 5'9" and above actors
# Above stipulation recently added to all contracts
