“Shortbus” Actors Wanted

We don't usually post casting calls or job listings on Fleshbot, but since we've been following the progress of "Shortbus"—John Cameron Mitchell's "funny/sad study of sex, fear and love in downtown Bush-plagued New York"—we thought we'd share this email from the director himself, who's looking for extras to appear in what's certain to be one of the most talked-about porn flicks indie films with explicit sex to be released in ... er, whatever year it winds up being released. Ever dreamed about being the next Margo Stilley or Vincent Gallo? This could be your big chance! Details after the jump.

"Shortbus" Casting Call

John Cameron Mitchell writes:

"We're shooting in May and we're looking for 'sextras' for a scene in a kind of modern-day New York City salon (in the weekly Gertrude Stein sense, not the Jean Louis David one). In the film, there's a salon hosted by Justin Bond (of Kiki & Herb) and the 'sextras' would be having real sex in the salon's 'Sex-Not-Bombs Room'. Ideally, we'd like couples of all sexualities, ethnicities, and ages who feel safe with each other. We're especially looking for straight and lesbian couples. There is compensation. We're also looking for a huge, multi-room industrial space that can serve as the salon. Please contact us for either at lateefah@process-media.com. Thanks!"
