Worldwide Open Casting Call For Independent Feature Film

EMILY LAZARUS is an independent film about a 17 year old, aspiring actress who flees her alcoholic and soul-crushing mother for the dream of creative and artistic success and independent adulthood in New York City.

Along for the ride is her broke boyfriend Drew, an aspiring filmmaker, who can only see life through the lens of his camera. This uniquely New York coming-age-story follows our heroine as she meets her future manager, a 19 year old Jewish boy who lives with his mother... her real father who turns out to be a porn director and heroin addict... and her step cousin Justin (a former concert pianist turned business man) who must come to terms with his own internal struggle, and hopeless love for her.

The movie is about growing up, becoming independent and struggle.

It's a real life drama that doesn't use a "heavy" story telling technique but a funny, ironic one.
