LOW BUDGET FEATURE FILM, NEW YORK

Producer: Justice Group. Filming over six months in New York City, starts ASAP. Payment is on a lo/no/deferred basis. Non- Union. Director: Dashiell Finley/Riley Gay. Email headshots/ resume to justicegroup@gmail.com. Seth Baker is a popular kid at Benjamin Franklin Preparatory School. However, come the summer time, he finds all his friends have left the city for faraway places. Pushed to the limit by boredom, Seth contacts an old camp friend Graham Bishop, with whom he’d had a falling out. Graham welcomes Seth with open arms, and invites him to hang out with his friends that weekend. This group of eccentrics makes Seth uncomfortable at first, but he decides to stick around to try to get the attention of Graham’s friend Maxine Small. What follows is Seth growing to fit in with these oddballs, and discovering that maybe they’re not as weird as he thought. Web: http://justicegroup.wiki.com. Seeking: Max: 15-17, the beautiful girl who encapsulates Seth’s attention during his first visit to Graham’s house. With cutting wit and sarcasm, she quickly puts Seth in his place. This drives Seth crazy, as he is used to getting the girl. Max is the deep thinker of the group, she’s usually armed with some overlooked insight about the personality or group dynamic of people being discussed. She knows people, and loves to push their buttons. Sam: 15-17, the film’s antagonist. He’s secretly in love with Max, but won’t let anybody know it. A delinquent to the extreme, the kid pisses alcohol and breathes weed. He has difficulty taking responsibility for his own faults and laziness. His love for Max is challenged when she and Seth start going out, and he hatches a plot to get Seth to embarrass himself and insult Max, at which point he swoops in and picks up the pieces. Due to his nowhere-man tendencies however, things fall apart as quickly as they came together. Todd: 15-17, a satirical character, poking fun at emo kids, as well as the rise in self- mutilation as a form of release. Todd is plagued with never feeling good enough, he even feels like a second class cutter when compared to his girlfriend Sarah. His problems are mostly, if not entirely, imagined. Constantly clad in a dark blue hoody and girl pants, he loves Simple Plan and livejournal poetry. Sarah: 15-17, like Todd, is a satire on the emo culture. She is not quite as introverted as Todd, and in fact often seems to be in a good mood. However a quick glance at the scars on her arms reveals that she has gone through some deep emotional trauma. Still, she is a pleasant person to be around. Hailing from New Jersey, she is a proud member of the church of hot topic. She falls for Todd, seeing in him a rich creative soul and she just loves guys in girl pants. Aaron: 15 -17, spends most of his time on the internet memorizing facts that he has absolutely no use for. He loves comic books to a fault, and will often interject some superheroes into everyday conversation. Outgoing, nice and accepting the way only a nerd can be. He took “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” to heart, and so with this group, is often more quiet than the other characters.

MUSIC PRODUCTION WITH THOM COFFEY, ENGLAND/WALES

Looking for someone with experience in music production with a lot of talent and creativity. You will be expected to create a five minute song with sound clips of ambient sound. There will be 80 sound clips with the duration ranging from 5 secs to 30. Below you will find a Blurb about the film, all contacts should send a portfolio Email - thomcoffey@hotmail.com What’s it about? I have always been interested in sound and the production of music and have played percussion for last five years. When performing a musical piece with other instruments each member of the group has to concentrate on their individual part. When each instrument is listened to in isolation, the listener doesn’t get the full musical experience of the piece. With all members of the group playing their individual instruments, the sounds mesh together to create the audible experience. This forms the basis of my idea, for when playing an instrument with others the performer has to listen to their part as well as the musical piece they are contributing to. I want to show the audience how music is constructed through using everyday ambient sound. I intend to achieve this task by constructing a five-minute song by cutting up samples of everyday sounds. How? Every ambient sound will mimic a certain group of instruments normally used in a song (percussion, strings). In addition to this, each sound recorded will have the original visual to the sound. When the audience listens to the final song a visual aid will help them to understand how the song was constructed. The next step of showing the audience how the song comes together is in the way it’s shown to the audience. Constructing an installation consisting of four screens, I intend to show the different groups of ambient sound used to create the song. Each screen will also have its own independent sound output.

CASTING SHORT FILM - TIME, LOS ANGELES

Robert Luis Rodriguez is casting for the short film "Time." Robert Luis Rodriguez Productions. SAG Short Film Agreement. SAG Number: 185368. SAG Rep: Anthony Hanna. Location: Los Angeles, CA. Logline: An over-the-hill television writer is reduced to pulling tapes at the DGA Film Archive by day and moonlighting doing feature film coverage for anybody with $50.00--including a rising matinee idol from New York and his posse. Breakdown: Vince: Tall, dark and handsome, early-mid 20’s male. A talented rising action adventure star cursed with the best looks since Bob Evans was in Blood and Sand—doesn’t trust anybody, really, but his childhood bud-turned manager. Eric: Short-average height medium build, Anglo early-mid 20’s male. Loyal as the day is long, just now learning the ropes as Vince’s would-be manager. John: Vince’s older half-brother, Latino and/or Anglo or both, lean 30’s male, former television star, now reduced to infrequent guest spots on forgettable sitcoms. Keeps in great shape as he fears he grows less employable with each passing day. Loves brother Vince dearly, and rarely jealous even though he owes any current acclaim he still has to Vince, and not the stuff of the TV legend he is in his own mind. Tortoise: Perennial butt of the others’ jokes, early-mid 20’s male, short, darkish and fat. Takes the abuse in stride, often imparting the only wisdom from the dreamers and has been that otherwise round out this troupe of wannabe maybes. Bob: Middle-aged heavy and balding male, once renowned television writer who can’t get arrested. By day he shelves tapes in the DGA’s Film Vault. On the side, he does coverage for anybody with the $50.00 [Note: This part has been cast.] Robert Luis Rodriguez Productions, 1925 Century Park East, Suite 500, Los Angeles, CA 90067.
