Summer Projects
It's interesting how far in advance and detailed the planning is when it
comes to making and producing a film. I am fortunate to be a part of a
great project being filmed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this summer entitled 'Serial
Daters Anonymous', which is already in its pre-production stages. It features Louise Linton, a very successful and
upcoming actress/model from Los Angeles (imdb.com).
Serial Daters Anonymous was written by the very talented, young director Christopher Carson Emmons, who just completed the short film Prone. Prone is a relationship, driven drama following the unique lives of two individuals, and is a prequel to Serial Daters Anonymous.
Serial Daters Anonymous is about a young woman who, after discovering her fiancé
cheated, goes on an introspective, dating quest to discover why men aren’t worthy of a relationship. On
her wedding day, in front of all her guests and family, Claire finds out that
her fiancé Jared slept with her younger sister Grace. She storms out of her wedding, getting drunk at a bar later
that night by herself. Claire
decides to move in with her best friend Michelle and comes up with an idea for
a new blog. Each time she goes on
a date with a new guy, she goes home right after and writes about all the
reasons a relationship with them would fail, whether eventually or right away. Soon, her blog catches on, but it
causes problems in her personal and professional life. Michelle can no longer
stand living with her, and Claire inevitably gets fired from her job for
blogging about a co-worker. Claire
is forced to move to her parents’ house, where she starts to reflect on her
past life. An old flame of
Claire’s sees her blog and reconnects with her, challenging all of the
pessimistic views she’s newly adopted about relationships. Her past and present choices come back
to haunt her, forcing her to confront all of her decisions and decide what she
really feels about love.
Principle photography will begin in early July of 2013. Pre-production continues with review of recent auditions for remaining roles, scouting locations, and budgeting duties. The film will be shot in and around the Milwaukee area showcasing a variety of restaurants, bars and familiar establishments.
Stay tuned for more details!
