A Reasonable Request by Andrew LaurichShot in a diner in South Central (the cheapest they could find: $800 for 6 hours, and apparently Morgan Freeman's favorite restaurant), A Reasonable Request is an unusual brokerage between a father and son.
"The guy that co-wrote it with me, Gabriel Miller, pitched me this idea of the classic hypothetical-turned-real," Laurich said, "but we polarized it and made it the most taboo version of that that you could possibly imagine, which ended up being giving your dad a blowjob."
"John Ennis is a renowned improv actor from LA. I had blindly sent him the script. He wrote back and said, 'Thank you for reaching out. I'm not interested at all.' And then a week later he emailed back and said, 'I actually just read the script, call me.'"
