CALL FOR ACTORS
Whenever I involve myself with creative people, I come across something very interesting.
Valerie Fioravanti, a talented writer of poetry and short stories has created an event called, Stories on Stage. This will
be consecutive monthly readings of stories by Sacramento area short story writers and read by local actors who are able to
interpret the literature well and give it their personal flavor. So, over the next few weeks, there will be a talent hunt
and we'll have to move fast. First event i… Continue
We are in pre production for a short film to be shot the weekend of Jan. 30. We are looking
for a dedicated actress (twenties to early thirties) to play the part of Anna, a woman who confronts the man who killed her

There are
two skills and actor must learn in order to work in movies and TV - Cold Reading and Improvisation. Unlike Theater auditions,
which often request monologues, Movie and TV auditions don't generally use prepared memorized material.
In this class you will learn a technique of the Mosaic Acting System that allows you to use the subjective mind to quickly
create a character with depth and substance, rather than just trying to "learn the words". These same tools can then be used
to create a character for Screen, Stage or any type of performance. As the class progresses, we cover
cold reading and audition techniques, as well as scene and monologue work. This class is appropriate for
high school ages and older, and is limited to a minimum of 8 and maximum of 12 new students. Pre-registration
by the Monday before the class is required.
This popular
class will be presented on Saturdays from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Tuition is $300, and includes an audio CD. (Repeat fee for prior
students of this class is $150, space available.)
To register,
send your minimum $150 deposit to: Charlie Holliday, PO Box 1142 , Rancho Cordova , CA 95741-1142 ,
Enrollment to all classes is limited
and pre-registration to all classes is required, so don't delay! The last couple of classes people have showed up on the first
day to find that the class was sold out.
Before 12 is gearing up to be shot soon and we are looking for all the
pieces we still need. We are shooting a trailer for the film and already have a camera for that, but we are still looking
for the actual camera package we will use for the film. It will need to be HD, and we'd like to create a 1080P image at 24p
if we can.
Currently we have Mark Herzig as the DP, and an EX-1 camera to shoot the trailer with. It would be great
to have the same kind of camera for the film as we use on the trailer.
But please let us know, whatever you have...
This
is not a paid gig unless we can get a budget, but we will definitely feed you well and give you credit, and it will be great
to work together and make a great film to go to festivals, etc.
If anyone out there can help, please contact Sandy
Stoltz or Mike H. Wilson:

FADE IN AWARDS Beverly Hills, California - March 31, 2010
Dear Martin,
In the Spotlight this week are the 14th Annual FADE IN AWARDS (FADEIN),
delivering accolades, industry recognition, and career connections to promising screenwriters and writer-directors in Beverly Hills, California.
FADEIN was established to help talented emerging
artists worldwide gain recognition within the Hollywood community in order to begin their careers as working filmmakers. Since
their debut in 1996, the Awards have garnered an impressive track record, having discovered hundreds of writers and filmmakers
who have gone on to make top-ten box-office hits including WEDDING CRASHERS, TAKING
LIVES, BLADES OF
GLORY, ADAM, PERFECT STRANGER, and CLAY PIGEONS.
The Grand Prize Winner receives a brand
new laptop computer and an all-expenses-paid trip to Hollywood to take meetings with agents and managers,
while category winners take home cash prizes and script analysis by WGA writers. What's more, FADEIN offers its winners an
unprecedented support network, working with its writers over the course of a year to bring their scripts up to professional
standards before making key industry introductions. Hollywood's top agents,
managers, and producers have become accustomed to requesting FADEIN's selected scripts and films. http://www.fadeinawards.com
As we head into 2010, many of the promises of previous years are becoming reality: Internet-enabled
television; HD, iTV and soon 3D TV, networked game
consoles and subscripion VOD, to name just a few. But many critical questions remain: which
technologies will succeed? What will the adoption curve and price points look like?
That's why the fifth annual Digital Living Room,Dec. 15 in Santa Clara CA, should be on your calendar. One of the oldest conferences about
the future of home entertainment, this year's DLR focuses on 2010 and the technologies most likely to transform consumer experience
next year. Why wait for CES when you can get a jump on networking and intelligence-gathering
now?
For just 48 hours, take advantage of a special rate available
of as low as $150 for a basic ticket. Buy a Deluxe
ticket for $195 and get a free ticket to our kickoff party in San Francisco on Dec.14 at Blumberg Capital.

Hi! I'm looking for an experienced Camera Operator/ DP with their own camera and actors to help with my short film. The
film is about a young Native boy who struggles to complete a homework assignment despite all the distractions, and disruptions
of reservation life.
Film will be shot mostly on location at the Hung A Leti reservation near South Lake Tahoe. The
community is very supportive of the project and we will be using primarily Native cast and crew.
I am a filmmaker who
grew up in the area, but now lives in LA and works in the film industry in various capacities. I am hoping to use this short
film to add to my reel to apply for NYU's grad film program. It's not my first time around the block, so if you're looking
to learn something from eachother working in a collaborative partnership, this would be a good fit. I'm a highly visual director
and would like to plan the shots ahead of time in storyboard form with my DP. I've already begun this process, but the type
of camera dictates what we can do. blooming.ruby@yahoo.com
From "The Schempire", the team that brought the comedy “Pimp My Rascal” to the 2009 “Los Angeles Comedy
Shorts Festival” is looking for crew for their follow-up short, “Abs Like Jesus.”
This is a very
last minute, though fairly organized shoot in an effort to meet the deadline for this great festival. We'll be shooting in
Fairfield, CA on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday NOVEMBER 22nd, 23rd and 24th (next week.) The scenes are very short, but the locations
are numerous. We're looking for someone to operate a Panasonic 24p camera, as well as someone will a lav mic or two, or maybe
just a boom and/or handheld mic, and someone with a very basic set of lights. Since this is an infomercial parody, the lighting
can look appropriately cheesy to match...
Please email donovanschemke@hotmail.com or call 707-803-0308 with your experience
and questions. We would like to work with fun people who love making films. We wish we could pay you, but we will feed you,
and we will take this film to as much public notoriety as possible. It's a great opportunity for people looking to get experience/build
their resume.
This is an infomercial parody of a work-out program called “Abs Like Jesus.” We consider
ourselves to be respectful of religion, and Jesus. But this probably tests the boundaries a little bit. There is nothing gruesome
or tasteless in it, it sends up infomercials mostly, but a sense of humor is required for involvement in this project.
Thank
you for your interest!! See our 1st film, "Pimp My Rascal", an official selection at the 2009 L.A. Comedy Shorts Festival
at www.jenniferschemke.com THANKS AGAIN!!

Passing Poston tells the moving and haunting story of four former internees of the Poston Relocation Center. Each
person shadowed by a tragic past, each struggling in their own painful way to reconcile the trauma of their youth, each still
searching and yearning during the last chapter of their lives, to find their rightful place in this country.
Unflinching Triumph makes its second EAST BAY screening!
As a small off-beat indie, word of mouth is key. If we continue to fill the house, we'll hopefully
book other theaters, extend runs and get a wider release, maybe at a theater in your hood.

or specific martial arts. (Unless it's a Mixed Martial Arts tournament, i.e. a UFC style tournament, which is devoid of martial
arts ritual.)
