Previously dreamt to become a romcom star-like Meg Ryan, Kate Hudson, and Matthew McConaughey?
Bob Murray – a 34 year old industrial real property buyer from Milwaukee – didn’t attempted to be a number one guy regarding the big screen, but their research the only might make him a movie celebrity anyhow. After three long-term relationships that spanned 12 decades, and a-year of singlehood, Murray decided to embark upon an adventure that he expectations will trigger enduring love and a movie bargain. Finally month, the guy began a 17-day journey that may simply take him through 8 urban centers – St. Louis, Kansas City, Dallas, Santa Fe, Phoenix, nevada, Los Angeles, and a TBD town in Oklahoma – when he will probably go on prearranged times with women he came across on the web, all the while documenting their every step with the aid of limited movie staff.
And did I mention he’ll be traveling by cab?
Besides a production associate, sound expert, and camera providers, Murray will be joined on their journey by Paula Heus, a cabdriver who will also dish out romantic advice as an unofficial existence advisor. “She’s a real firecracker and never scared to convey her viewpoint about situations,” Murray told the Bellingham Herald. When their pursuit is finished, Murray dreams to tour the film festival routine with a documentary about their uncommon search for really love.
Heus’ cab provides barely left the garage, but already Murray’s task has actually hit a few roadblocks. A planned remain in Amarillo, TX needed to be left behind after Murray ended up being unable to get a response to his look for a romantic date when you look at the area, and a rule that dates could only be organized fourteen days in advance was developed whenever scheduled meetups with two females fell through after they found men before Murray found its way to their metropolises.
Murray has also been able to increase below $5,000 for the $20,000 he hoped to earn to fund the travel, very he had been forced to foot a lot of the balance himself and exchange equity in the movie for further donations from their largest buyers. Regardless of these setbacks, however, Murray happens to be on his first go out in Milwaukee, with an actress called Cynthia Kmak, possesses strategies for escapades like rock climbing and skydiving various other towns and cities.
