“Cognitus” is a comedy short slated to begin shooting in April. An underachiever in his twenties is online “doing research” when he finds a risqué video of his girlfriend, then must come to terms with it- dignity optional. Parts needed are:
Jeremy – Male lead, 18-30. A likeable loafer who’s constantly putting his foot in his mouth, almost, but not quite, enough to make him a jerk.
Cindy - Female lead, 18-30. Jeremy’s girlfriend who he sees in the video. Much more professional and put-together than Jeremy, she puts up with his flaws as she tries to improve him, but sometimes gets impatient with his lack of drive or maturity.
Lacey – Female supporting, 18-30. A guest of Cindy, she finds herself put in the middle of an awkward situation and tries to play it cool, although it may be more than she’s able to tolerate.
