Hey Fango,
Thanks for your post! We actually held auditions back in March for all three parts. As you can imagine, we saw over 50 young ladies for the parts of AMY and LOUISE, but only a dozen were brave enough to try out for the more demanding part of LAURA_ANN. Yes, Monica is truly a gem, and we were fortunate when she replied to our casting notice and read the script. It helps that she used to be an art class model. But her acting skills were just beyond our wildest dreams. I think the playfulness and light-hearted yet intelligently written screen-play is waht sold it to her.
On set, Monica was always treated professionally and with the upmost respect. There was always a robe ready for her when the camera was not rolling. Although I have to tell you, there was an absolute hush over the crew during the filming of her "dusting/cleaning" scene. She is also very down to earth and a joy to work with. Not a Diva at all, and she really had a good time with the whole thing.
This is in fact my first independent film project. My intention is to make more high-quality films that are inspired by other "Stripping Naked" stories, and thus will most certainly contain themes of ENF. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things go well with this first effort.
Thanks,
Joe
