Comments
Poser is angry. It is aggressive and gritty. It is stylized realism. It makes no attempts to give you a sense of hope for Damien. Watching Poser is like watching a car crash. It isn't going to be pretty, but you can't help but watch.

Storyline
A narcissistic male model takes a long hard look at his work. What happens when he finds a flaw? Is the fault in his look, or in his perception? Whatever it is, it must be excised.
Damien, a flawless male model owns the stage as he poses. Later, heading home after another successful shoot, across the subway station Damien notices a cologne advertisement with himself on it. He basks in his vanity. The doors close, his reflection in the window stands between him and his work. The train departs and he is ripped away from himself. The version of him on the ad was smoother, more symmetrical. Perfect. His reflection stares back instead. He's pissed.
And now nothing is the same, he can’t look at himself, he can’t model and he can’t sleep. Damien can’t figure out what is wrong with him no matter how hard he studies himself in the mirror. After a humiliating day in the studio, Damien will allow his self-obsession to become all consuming. Blood will follow when he realizes the fault in his perception may be more than skin deep.

Description Damien is a model, more Calvin Klein than runway. Damien is also angry. His thoughts are a slow, intense, relentless rage under a steely gaze. If only he knew that, he could understand why he is so superficial, so hateful of everyone around him. Instead he views himself as a god, an Adonis among men. Until one day he doesn’t, the veil cracks and there is no going back.Applicants with experience modeling will be highly considered! Please note this role may include scenes of model being shirtless. |
