PROD DESIGN: I am looking for someone to work closely with my very talented DP to create the look of this film. There are three basic locations we'll need help with: fixing up a bodega storefront so that it reflects the traffic on the street, creating a deserted apartment that used to be a drug spot(we are still looking for this location, leads appreciated), and one upscale apartment. WARDROBE: ... it should be a really interesting job to try to outfit these people. I am romaticizing the downtrodden a bit in this script, and that should be reflected in the outfits. I want to have a lot of strange nighttime background people walking through frame, so it should be fun... PRODUCER: I need a great producer ASAP to help me with the budget and pre-prod. About me: I have a background in documentary filmmaking and music videos. I studied at the Polish National Film school as well as at Columbia U. This film is my Columbia thesis film. I need to shoot in one month. These are all unpaid positions but I'll discuss a small honorarium in specific circumstances. Copy and credit included, of course. Thanks very much, shooters. Please to me at basiawinograd@yahoo.com
