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.

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.

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.

This film will probably go using both Union and Non Union Actors but in either case, it will be budgeted with the parameters of a SAG Modified Low Budget Agreement. (Meaning a salary of $ 933 a week for leading full time performers) and prorated pay for supporting day players. At post production phases, all actors shall be required to render talents for ADR sessions, with the usual hourly pay according to the same parameters. Auditions will be completed as follows: Actors shall submit via e-mail headshot and resume to Production company. Each one of the pre-selected actors shall receive a synopsis and a character's profile in order to improvise for taping purposes, his or her recreation of a character of their choice using the very little information they receive. Out of that group, she shall issue call backs along with sides from the movie for Taped auditions at our production offices. From there, we shall reach our final decision.
Breakdown:
- Male / 25-30 yrs. / Hispanic: Daniel Torres works in the hotel day and night. His supervisors adore him for his dedication. A concierge when the sun is up. Barman when the moon is out. He is the man to call to get something done, to find the impossible, to link and expedite whatever a guest would needs because he needs all the money he can get to send to his native country, to support his everyday growing pauper family deployed amid a country in civil war. Every time they talk, he gets the same phantasmal picture and there is no other way out. They need so much help and the crying voice of his mother is just too much to handle.
- Male / 41-50 yrs. / White. Requires Nudity: Justin Van der Osten has arrived to Fort Lauderdale in a good mood. . He is in town to kill a man. Some one has put a contract on his head and Justin is here to get the job done. He does not know that person. He could not care less about him. This all about the money and he is prepared to execute his task swiftly, quietly; and he will get out of there as colorless as he arrived to that cute hotel. Justin Van der Osten, if that was his real name, is not a first timer. He has been through this. However, he has never been in love until now.
- Male / 31-40 yrs. / White. Requires Nudity: William Johnston is a real player. He runs an independent brokerage firm that invests local money in stocks and options all over the world, making some important people wealthier and making him the happiest man on earth. William is fond of beautiful women and fine life. Life is brighter than ever if it was not for that bastard that swindled him all of that “other people's money”. That will cost him dearly, so much that William Johnston has put a contract on that man's head.
- Male / 51-60 yrs. / White: Zack Drayer is packing a large amount of money in a briefcase to; finally, meet with his contact in a regular hotel. He is getting a smuggled medicine from the barman, probably the last hope to help his terminally ill child. An experimental prescription from Eastern Europe banned in our country, who knows for what reason. It will be worth all the risk, all the lying, all this messing up with so many important people. Your child's life is worth all risks. After all, he had been threatened before. His wife Sally will take care of everything if things go very wrong. He had no choice.
- Female / 41-50 yrs. / White. Requires Nudity: Sally Drayer is so exhausted of praying. It has been a long terrible journey with no reward at the end of the road. Doctors have told her that her son is not going to make it and seeing him fade out has drained her last drop of hope. Sadly, she sees her husband believe in any option he has found online in a desperate attempt to give his son some extra time. She knows well that it is all over and they should only wait. Last week, she found out about her husband's overseas accounts. She learned how to reach into them. She knew this was blood money and in running blood it will turn their lives, unless she found a way to take advantage of a sure disgrace that is about to happen.
- Female / 25-30 yrs. / Any Ethnicity. Requires Nudity: Laura Frazier works so hard to keep her private life private.One more year in the shadows and she will be a magnetic resonance technician and perhaps, get away for good from those eclectic nights at the strip bar. Maybe not. The money is so good just for a few hours of silly entertainment.She knows deep inside that a wonderful man is around the corner and love will redeem a young life of confrontation with her own persona. Forget about emotional redemption. Laura loves to get nude on stage and, above all, she loves her own sexuality.
- Male / 31-40 yrs. / Any Ethnicity. Requires Nudity: Mark Rohmer is a law enforcement negotiator. Happily married to Angela Rohmer, soon will struggle with the battles of his very mild machismo with his lusty infatuation for his wife and her confessed infidelity. Circumstances will bring him to a standoff and to a life and death situation that will confront him with the person he loves the most. Lust and jealousy will match up contending with duty and responsibility. Strong emotions that will over flow the integrity of this honorable man.
- Female / 25-30 yrs. / Any Ethnicity. Requires Nudity: Angela Rohmer dared to do the unthinkable. She let her boss at the office touch her legs and even find his way up to her underwear and beyond, as she presented some financial figures in his office. Angie is a successful professional, savvy stoke broker, married to a loving husband, two beautiful children, but she fell to her instincts and for no reason whatsoever, she has decided to be unfaithful for the first time. Tomorrow, after work, excusing with a very important meeting, she is going to have sex with another man in a small cute hotel and her life will change forever, for no so good.
