Logline: Kuznicki’s best car salesman struggles to negotiate with a man who brings rather odd, rather juvenile tactics to the negotiating table.

SEEKING ACTORS TO PLAY THE FOLLOWING ROLES

Bill Cardillo: 25-45, Male, Any Race/Ethnicity. Kuznicki’s #1 car salesman; an arrogant man with a penchant for partying and misogynistic tendencies. The normally loud and macho Bill is thrown off when Walter shows up at the car lot. Must be ok with two minor scenes of intimacy. Bonus points if you can cry on command.

Walter: 25-45, Male, Any Race/Ethnicity. An intense, deadpan man who, for some reason, has a very formal way of speaking. To put it vaguely, Walter is comfortable with being uncomfortable and not afraid to get himself a little bit dirty. His single-mindedness drives him into conflict with Bill. Must be ok with one minor scene of intimacy.

Mr. Raymond: 45-70, Male, Any Race/Ethnicity. Bill’s Boss. A typically level-headed man who is driven to frustration by Walter. Bonus points if you can cry on command.

Stacy: 20-35, Female, Any Race/Ethnicity. Kuznicki’s receptionist and HR representative. An attractive woman enamored by Bill. Offers rational advice when Walter’s behavior confounds Bill. Must be ok with one minor scene of intimacy.

Security Guard Tom: 20-35. Male. Any Race/Ethnicity. Kuznicki’s enthusiastic security guard. Good friends with Bill. Convinced by Walter to abandon his duties.
