[TIME SENSITIVE] Dear friends,

I’m one of the producers of an independent American film directed by a phenomenal female director. We are in the final stretch of post-production and are offering an Associate Producer credit in exchange for a modest investment.

I’d be happy to share the deck and a private link with those who are seriously interested, or if you know someone who might be.

Other perks are also available. 120% return on investment with a signed agreement.

To every actor who has auditioned for Bougainvillea Movie, this is for you.

From Quebec to every corner of Canada, from LA and NYC to the rest of the USA, from El Salvador, Mexico, and across Latin America, from Spain, the UK, France, and so many other places around the world----thank you! Thousands of you. Truly.

I'm deeply moved by the diversity of your talents, your work ethic, and your dedication. The care, imagination, and professionalism you’ve poured into these auditions has been extraordinary.

So many of you went far beyond what is expected: sending full mise-en-scènes, creating mini-movies, wearing costumes, creative makeup, and using props, coordinating multiple actors to read off-camera for each character.

OMG! The level of sophistication has been phenomenal, special shout-out to Vancouver actors, because wow.

What touched me just as profoundly were the personal stories some of you chose to share: your journeys of self-care and self-improvement, your paths through trauma, therapy and healing.

Thank you for trusting me with those truths during the Q&A. One thing has stayed with me above all else, being an actor requires immense courage, belief, and resilience. I salute you for that.

Over the past two years, I have watched thousands of self-tapes, and I continue to watch every single one that comes my way, as we continue to search for that special gem: MARISOL.

In each role, I'm searching for something rare: beyond an actor, a Star, yes, but more than that, a true, authentic voice to give life to characters that have been haunting me for years. These characters are ready to leave my inner world and step into yours. Soon, it will be time to pass the torch to those who will carry them forward.

And I have a piece of exciting news to share: a veteran actress, multi Emmy-winning, from Hollywood, has just been attached in one of the supporting roles. An official announcement will come through a trade publication when the time is right.

If you have auditioned for my passion project, please know this... I see you, I honor you, and I am profoundly grateful.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear actor and actress!

With love,

Patricia Chica, president of Flirt Films

THANK YOU: Jessica Paola and the team at CastingWorkbook have been phenomenal at helping me outreach worldwide in search of MARISOL.

The Canadian Media Producers Association - CMPA is such a great association.
