Please help me find a Mexican stripper in Los Angeles.
I can't believe I'm in Los Angeles and I can't find a Mexican stripper, but alas, it is so.
The actress I have cast as the female lead in my short film (she's the #2 character) is beautiful and talented... unfortunately, she's also completely unprofessional. She's hours and hours late for everything, answered her phone in the middle of the cast reading, does no prep work on her own time, and doesn't understand English very well. So whenever I finally get her to show up, she requires excessive rehearsal time to explain what the lines actually mean. She takes direction very well, which is good, but she requires way too much of it. Plus, she lied and said she could pole dance and she can't. I could teach her a trick or two, but I want to shoot this character coming down the pole, and I don't want an inexperienced newbie falling off and getting injured.
I've got other actresses I can call, and I'm going to be holding auditions this week, but I really don't want any of the actresses I have. I want a Mexican. I liked the angle that this Mexican actress brought to this part, and this short film is such a caricature of Los Angeles; you can't have an L.A. caricature without a Mexican stripper!
If anyone knows a beautiful young Mexican woman who can pole dance, speak English, and show up on time, pleasepleaseplease let me know! Thank you!
