The Escort is a 2015 romantic film directed by Will Slocombe, starring Michael Doneger and Lyndsy Fonseca.
Plot
Mitch Cooper (Michael Doneger), a 27-year-old journalist in Los Angeles, is single, broke, and addicted to having sex with strangers from a mobile app. Recently fired from his job and in a desperate financial situation, he needs to write a good story to apply for a new one. He meets Natalie (Lyndsy Fonseca), a Stanford University-educated prostitute who, while making a lot of money, feels insecure in her unpredictable encounters. She agrees to let Mitch follow her around, apparently as her on-call bodyguard, so that Mitch can also write his story. Both lonely emotionally, the pair gradually develops feelings for each other.
