Got a bit of a thing for scenes involving fully dressed drowning.
For example a smartly dressed business woman dragged into a river/sea/swimming pool/bath and drowned. Lots of flailing arms/legs before finally being drowned.
Closest I ever got to finding my (almost) ideal scene was Dany Kogan in the great Jean Paul Belmondo film, Le Professional. Her character Sergeant Gruyere is attacked from behind and drowned in a bath.
I cannot locate the clip but there are screenshots in the link below.
Wondering if there are any producers out there who would do such a scene...
This, IMO, I sthe best ever (to date!) drowning ever done in a mainstream movie or TV programme. It's taken from the 1981 Aussie thriller 'Lady Stay Dead'
Sorry it's not of better quality but it's the only one I could find on you-tube
BTW the whole movie itself is pretty good and worth cehecking out if you love a helpless 'Lady-in-Peril'

One of the best drowning scenes for me is the bathtub drowning in "The Singing Detective." I would love to commission a custom someday similar to it if I can afford it and if I can find the right actress.

Well normally I would recommend Advocate, Mr Nate, but his prices seem to have gone up a lot lately.
Try asking Antony @ Wild Stories, you would need a maximum of three ctors/actresses.

My scenario would be a bit more exploitative than the original scene. Anton does nice work, but I'd be going for a hard R-rated version. I know he wouldn't do that sort of material.

Then save up your pennies and talk to Advocate, Mr Nate. Maybe he will give you a special discount as you and he have done some great work in the past.
