Melbourne based Australian actor Richard Di Gregorio has won the lead role in the first feature film to be cast by an online audience.
…The entire cast for The Flirting Club, by Oscar-nominated director Alex Jovy , was chosen by browsers of the itsourmovie website who voted for their favourite video auditions.
…For his audition, Di Gregorio created his own movie trailer based on a downloaded copy of the script.
…Di Gregorio landed the lead role after receiving nearly 1000 votes, the only Australian to win a part in the UK-based production.
…The movie is now in post-production, six years after its director Jovy won Best New Film Idea at the Cannes Film Festival in 2002.
…”A cinema release is planned for the film, which Di Gregorio described as a “male Bridget Jones crossed with American Pie.”
