Casting for a half day rehearsed reading for abnew in-development romance project following My Half Night that is scheduled for release in 2027

Eight years after they were teen lovers, Jake and recently engaged Fi meet to their surprise after the death of a friend. Inadvertently left alone together in a flat for the evening, they tread over old ground and discuss life as adults, finding the connection between them has faded nowhere near as much as they expected.

Title

Fi

Content

Fi, full name Fen Fang, is of British Chinese heritage and has ditched the corporate world to become a struggling artist much to Angie’s chagrin. Even her funeral attire has a touch of Bohemia about it. She’s very determined, having rebelled against her strict parents and this has tainted her life substantially. She’s both right and left brained having been good at maths and also art. Unlike many, she tends to want to flush things out in the open and get a resolution rather than repressing it. Having said that, she doesn’t mind a bit of subtext and wordplay. Whilst she is engaged to be married, she’s not convinced she’s doing the right thing and is jolted when Jake surprisingly turns up.
