We are casting 5 roles for a new Vertical Drama series.
Shooting in Los Angeles, end of May - start of June

Summary of the Story:

Ellie never imagined that two dreadful events could occur on the same day. First, she mistakenly shares her first kiss with Jax, her childhood adversary and the school's star football player. Secondly, her first boyfriend betrays her by cheating.

To her surprise, when her unfaithful boyfriend tries to publicly embarrass her by reading her relationship checklist, Jax steps in and claims to be her new boyfriend to save her from humiliation. Though Ellie is not keen on pretending to date her long-standing rival, a cascade of misunderstandings leads to rumors of their "relationship" spreading throughout the school. Consequently, they decide to become contractual boyfriend and girlfriend for one semester to address their own issues.

While Ellie is convinced she could never develop feelings for Jax, the more time they spend together, the more she starts to recognize that the boy who has tormented her since childhood could be someone entirely different.

Roles Details

Title

Jax Thorne

Content

Age: 18
A high school student and the quarterback of the school football team. The center of attention on campus.
On the surface, Jax appears playful, arrogant, and a little irritating. In reality, he is sensitive, kind, and very attentive to the feelings of the people around him.
Jax has teased Ellie since they were children, constantly giving her nicknames and becoming her number one “nemesis.” But only he knows that all of those little pranks were simply ways to attract Ellie’s attention.
He has always liked Ellie.
Because of this, he always shows up whenever Ellie is bullied or hurt, becoming her “annoying knight.”
After Ellie is hurt by her cheating boyfriend, Jax proposes that they pretend to be a couple. On the surface, he says it is to help himself escape the pursuit of the coach’s daughter.
In reality, this seemingly casual suggestion is something he has planned for a long time.
