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
