Seeking a 14 Yr. old girl and a 16 Yr. old girl to star in the feature film DETACHMENT, directed by Tony Kaye (American History X) to begin filming in June or July 2010. This film revolves around mature subject matter.
Erica: 14 years old, any ethnicity, a homeless prostitute who is pretty, small and pale, she is accustomed to being sexually and physically abused. When Henry takes pity on her and brings her home so she can get cleaned up and receive medical attention, she propositions him and is surprised by his refusals. While she lives at Henry’s they fall into a domestic routine, but the situation is temporary. Prone to philosophizing, Erica takes up journaling and confesses her all-encompassing love for Henry. She’s devastated and breaks down into hysterics when he sends her away.
Meredith: 16 years old, any ethnicity, “a bit chunky but beautiful,” she’s an extremely sensitive, intelligent, and unhappy high school student who finds solace in art and photography. For Meredith, Henry is a godsend teacher, and she is deeply upset when her affection for him is not returned. Troubled and sad, suicidal and possibly suffering from an eating disorder, Meredith poisons a huge batch of cupcakes and hands them out for free, saving the most lethal cake for herself in a school-wide tragedy.
