Casting Call: The Jerk Off

Writer-director Laurent Boulanger and the producer Joel Mielle of Six Lovers have put out a casting call for their new film, The Jerk Off – “A comedy with balls.”

Synopsis:
Alan Nelson has the perfect ego-boosting job, the perfect dope-smoking wife and the perfect rebellious, gothic teenage daughter. But after getting caught downloading porn on his work computer, he loses his job and finds himself in turmoil with his family. His wife wants to leave him, his daughter thinks he is a joke, and he no longer gets the respect he is used to. With only one chance to save his marriage and to get his teenager daughter back into the fold, Alan faces the biggest challenge of his life – change or remain a jerk off forever.

Auditions are taking place in mid-June, but Joel is keen to see if the script can attract some bankable lead stars.

In a statement Mielle said, “We’re going ahead with the film. It would be nice to have well-known Australian actors filling the lead roles — either way, we’re still going ahead.”
