The character Autumn, according to press notes, is "Vincent and Thane's straight gal pal. She is both wildly fascinated with the gay online dating culture and cautious of its potential dangers. She lives alone in Hell's Kitchen, but hopes to one day find her own true connection. 'Grind' takes a sexy and artistic look at the ways we connect in today’s world and some of the dangers that come with that. Because, in the end, do we really know who we’re talking to?"

Coffee has had recurring roles on shows such as "The West Wing," "General Hospital" and "Franklin & Bash."

Additional casting will be announced shortly.

The creative team is accepting grassroots donations through June 11 to help cover production costs. Additional details are available by visiting facebook.com/grindthemovie and twitter.com/grindthemovie.
