Between a hero and a mercenary, who would you choose? In 1885's Bulgaria, young heiress Raina finds herself in the thrillingly romantic situation of finding Bluntschli, a fleeing enemy soldier-for-hire, in her room. Raina is engaged to a Bulgarian war hero but risks her reputation to shelter Bluntschli, despite his annoying habit of undercutting her grand speeches with inveterate pragmatism. When the conflict ends, Raina's fiancé comes home just as the mercenary reappears. Will Raina choose the hero or the cynic? Set against the backdrop of the Serbian-Bulgarian War, Arms and the Man is a comedy of manners about the limits of romance and the unexpected allure of practicality.
Casting for Arms and the Man includes: Phillip James Brannon, Allen Darby, Allie Marie Evans, Kimberly Hébert Gregory, Ariel Shafir, and Liam Vincent. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
Creative team for Arms and the Man includes: Luis Garcia (Video Designer & Editor).
