About:
Day Trader is a short film about a Chicago Futures trader who revels the the reality of day trading.
Production Description:
I am in pre-production of an exciting short film about a day in the life of a Chicago Futures Trader. Â The story is simple, but the editing will make it even more thrilling. Â We follow Rick, our main character, as he goes about his daily life, through the hustle of the city into his trading office, where he trades. Â We really show the trading, the thrill, the money he makes, the money he losses. Â The emotion that comes with those hurdles.
There is no pay, but I can cover food and transportation if needed. Â Shooting will be short, less than 2 hours for most scenes other than with Rick. Â You will receive full IMDB credit, and my good graces for future projects.
Once complete, I will submit to as many festivals as possible, and hopefully maintain a solid relationship with my actors.  Because as you know, if you help me, I help you….
If interested in a role, please email cyprian@cyprianfrancis.com with a photo, which role you want and why you’re interested, and maybe a reel if you have one.  If not, it’s ok, I want passion, and people who appreciate filmmaking.
