I saw this on the Chemistry list and have permission from the casting director to repost this notice. Here’s a post from Cinematical with a little more background.

Steven Soderbergh is directing an independent film that will explore expanded ideas of intimacy and relationships and is looking for non-actors to interview to play fictional characters. The drama is set in the world of high-end prostitution. We do not need people who have experience with escorts, but rather people who have a broader sense of a discussion about modern relationships. The roles include, among other things, a client out for a fancy dinner on the town; a heterosexual couple that engages her in a threesome (nudity required); and a man who she ultimately falls in love with outside of her profession. Other roles will include women who share the same occupation as the lead character. Ages range from 28-50.
As the film will be improvised from a detailed outline of the fictional story, there is only an interview to be done in person with the Casting Director Carmen Cuba, and nothing to prepare. She will be in town beginning September 8th and hoping to meet people starting that week. If you are interested in being interviewed, please send a photo and a brief introduction of yourself to gfecastingATgmailDOTcom. Please include your occupation and any of your outside interests.
