A soap opera set where the real drama happens after 'cut!'
Casting Couch is another example of Roland Dane's strong narrative and his talent for strong, erotic excitement. The story revolves around the production of a prime time soap opera in Budapest that will star an American celebrity and tabloid subject, played by Brad Patton, which sets the scene for some real off screen action. Brian Hansen, who plays the series producer and Roland Dane, as the director, lead a cast of European studs, who enact roles behind the scenes and on the set, giving the story a wide range of action and characters

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Roland Dane casting himself as director blurs reality so hard the film practically winks at you.
2007 was peak 'plot-what-plot' era for the genre, yet Dane actually bothered with a soap opera framing device—practically Oscar-worthy ambition.
