Who is the Cast of ‘Ms. Match’?
Directed by Lucie Guest and written by Janae Bakken, the Ms. Match cast stars Anja Savcic as Athena, Andre Anthony as Jake, Shannon Chan-Kent as Shea and Bethany Brown as Valerie.
Anja is known for her roles in crime series Big Sky, Loudermilk and I Love You, Beth Cooper while Shannon starred in Good Trouble and voice acted in Sonic Prime and Polly Pocket.
What is Ms. Match About?
The romantic comedy follows Athena and her adult love life and how she transforms into a new person through her lengthy dating journey.
After going through a rocky breakup with her college boyfriend, Athena moves to Los Angeles to pursue her writing career. As she finds herself in the same position five years later, she decided to make a change.
“She’s single and working for a dating company that teaches people how to date better, going on new dates every night of the week under the alias of Amy,” the film’s bio reads. “She’s become so comfortable being Amy that she no longer knows how to date.”
The catch of working for the dating company, though, is she is not permitted to engage in “physical contact,” “emotional attachment to the client” and “mind-altering substances.”
