Seeking New York actors for a short film “Iris”

“Iris” (a short film) is a thriller about Iris White, a woman in her early 60s living in the quiet Midwest town of Avalon who, after recovering from a stroke, has become accustomed to a private life comprised of self-appointed household tasks. When Iris discovers a box of money buried in her own garden, she begins to indulge in the mysterious stash, fixing up the house and abandoning her customary “meals on wheels.” Soon Iris meets Billy, a stranger to Avalon, and grows suspicious that he may have returned to claim his buried treasure. Iris’ fears are proven true, and the two must battle over the money in a shocking fight to the death. Through greed and fear Iris discovers her desire to survive, and ultimately claims the possibility of a new life she had always hoped would be within reach.

Iris White: early 60s. Ordered and self sufficient, an island entire of herself, too pragmatic for marriage and too old fashioned for a career. A practical, less technicolor Doris Day. Stubborn, yet not without occasional vulnerability.

Billy: late 30’s. Disheveled, something of the faded matinee idol about him. A dark, possibly criminal flavor.

Arthur Hooper: 60s. Owner of Hooper’s Market, a permanent fixture in Avalon since he was in the womb. Sweet and soothing, Iris’ would-be suitor.

Gary: 30s-40s. Meals on Wheels Coordinator and king of his tiny empire. Portly and aggressive.
