Contact us early to read the script, you can get a scheduled time for your audition and cut down on your wait time!
Casting for the middle film in the new “Relationship Trilogy” of films from Fast Lane Productions — three different and unique examinations of one of the greatest complexities in the history of humanity, our romantic relationships with one other. The first film, “Two Sugars”, examined what happens when we change ourselves so much as to lose ourselves for the sake of a relationship, and the moment of decision when we decide one way or the other what is most important. This second film will examine the all too familiar occurrence where fears from our past affect our ability to be fully present or accepting of our relationships, and that incredible moment when we finally overcome those fears. Shooting is tentatively scheduled for November pending scheduling availability and completion of casting.
Directed by Jason O’Brien and Leah Hudspeth
Written by Jason O’Brien
Inspired by the short story written by Laura Mullins
All Lauren knew that day was that her lover, Rachel, was taking her hiking in the woods for some kind of surprise. In a relationship that she’s had difficulty fully accepting, Lauren’s journey into the woods parallels with remembrances of where these difficulties have come from, when a dark secret of her Mom’s was exposed during a time when relationships of the type she now feels very strongly were not as accepted. In so many of our relationships, one person can often be further along and more ready for commitment, while the other struggles with something that is holding them back. In Lauren’s case, she has never been able to fully accept herself and has never fully reconciled her fears from the past … until this one very special day.
