Production Assistant Position for Documentary Film

trancedan — Sun, 25 Jun 2006 23:32:14 GMT

Positions for Production Assistants Now Available For Exciting & New Documentary Film!

www.authentic-unifying.com/film.html

PROJECT
We are presently in production of a wonderful documentary film entitled, In the Heart of the Deathless, which explores the vitality for life which is to be found through a direct confrontation with death. Production has grown to such a degree that we now seek additional assistance to satisfy the basic needs of production.

POSITION
We seek individuals with prior experience for two positions:
1) On-Set Assistant: Help set-up and strike the lights and sound for a basic “interview-style” film-set. Several interviews may be scheduled during the week (Thurs – Sat) throughout the SF Bay Area and elsewhere. Each interview lasts no more than two hours, necessitating a maximum 3-hour time commitment from PAs. All filming is scheduled a minimum of ten-days in advance and you will be notified upon scheduling.
2) Off-Set Assistant: Help in office by responding to e-mail & voicemail, scheduling interviews, running errands, and sending postal mail. Position may also include the possibility for grant-writing, web-design, and public relations / marketing.

COMPENSATION
Both Production Assistant positions will receive credit in the film.
1) On-Set Assistant will gain invaluable filmmaking experience and a unique opportunity to meet some of the world’s most prominent scholars and spiritual leaders of our time. We also agree to provide one “craft service” meal per shoot.
2) Off-Set Assistant will receive a percentage of whatever moneys are generated by their direct assistance with the film (in terms of grant-writing, marketing, and general public-relations).

REQUISITE SKILLS:
1) On Set Assistant:
Filmmaking Experience / Technical skills
Organized & Personable / Able to work well with others
Punctual & Efficient / Capable of receiving and accomplishing necessary tasks promptly
Grant Writing / Sufficient writing skills for drawing up proposals from grants from template
Transportation / Valid and current driver’s license and vehicle

2) Off-Set Assistant:
Secretarial Skills / Appropriate phone presence and message-keeping
Organized & Personable / Able to work well with others
Punctual & Efficient / Capable of receiving and accomplishing necessary tasks promptly
Grant Writing / Sufficient writing skills for drawing up proposals from grants from template
Transportation / Valid and current driver’s license and vehicle

All interested applicants should please send resumes (replete with contact information, all prior education and filmmaking / secretarial job experience, and no fewer than two professional references) to:
Dan@authentic-unifying.com.

Upon receipt of your resume, we will be in contact with you to schedule an in-person interview.

Individuals with access to additional resources of film production (e.g., professionals, equipment, & financing) are encouraged to apply.

We sincerely feel that this film is desperately needed to be made, not only by those who have been diagnosed with terminal illness and their caretakers, but by the culture at large who have become so blinded by the lights of youth and beauty that they have lost sight of what is most valuable.

Please help us with your time and support by contacting us directly or sending this position request to any others who you feel may be interested in working with us on this film. Together, we can begin to make the difference that makes a difference.

With kind regards,
Dan

ALL STAR TREK'D OUT!

Tasha — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 07:26:24 GMT

Hello Friends!

Now after recovering from a two month avalanche of writing jobs, I'm taking on new clients for script and book work.

My company is WRITERSSOURCE.NET. I do a wide variety of creative and business writing, but my best work is done analyzing/doctoring books and scripts. You can check out my bio and testimonials from happy customers at WRITERSSOURCE.NET.

In addition, the last two months have been phenomenal! I finished my modern day fairy tale "London Fog" and became a finalist at the International Moondance Film Festival with it. London Fog is getting a lot of positive attention.

I've done six freelance writing jobs, one being an ongoing project whereas I'm developing a great screenplay. (The story has already been bought by a production company.)

I just became an assistant director (and possibly a co-producer) of Star Trek Voyages episode "World Enough and Time", written by Marc Zicree and Michael Reaves, and starring George Takei - pretty dang exciting.

I am also producing/writing and directing a documentary with Marc Zicree on the making of New Voyages called "Elvis Made Me Do Star Trek". (If you look at their website you'll get the Elvis reference.) Not to shabby!

If you need any more convincing go to the website and check me out! Otherwise, please don't hesitate to e-mail or call.

Have a super-great-wonderful-summer!

SCREENPLAY: SILENT MAIDS' REBELLION

maxalex — Sun, 12 Mar 2006 18:49:39 GMT

SCREENPLAY: SILENT MAIDS’ REBELLION

(DRAMA)

LOGLINE: After a young black maid is gruesomely raped and murdered by a white man in his posh Manhattan apartment, America braces for a domestic upheaval, as a nation of rebellious black maids, plot to yank all black maids from the posh homes of white, wealthy housewives.

SYNOPSIS: For centuries black women have labored silently in the swanky homes of whites, many times under denigrating circumstances.

Domestic maid RUTH SIMMON quietly scrubs her employer’s kitchen floor on her knees. But RUTH’S tranquil morning is shattered when she’s suddenly pounced upon, raped and murdered by JOHN KERR, the lustful husband of RUTH’S employer, ANN KERR. Later ANN defends her husband JOHN as ace detectives clear JOHN of committing any crimes. To compound the anger brewing among black maids, a clan of apathetic prosecutors also refuses to indict or prosecute JOHN for allegedly victimizing a mere black maid.

Now reeling with explosive anger RUTH’S maid friends ROSA JEZEBEL and BUFFY now retired, set out to avenge RUTH’S deplorable death. With ROSA presiding as president, the tenacious retirees rapidly organize POMMA, an anti-maid organization designed to extract all black maids from the luxurious homes of white, wealthy housewives, nationwide. A nation of eager black maids has now joined POMMA. Thus, as a plethora of undomesticated white housewives, resist losing their indispensable black maids, a volatile domestic war erupts between aggravated white women and their fiery, denigrated black maids.

Alas, without warning and while demonstrating in Alabama, POMMA’S President, Rosa, is slain by members of the KU KLUX KLAN. As POMMA reels and staggers to its feet from its first major setback, can its new leaders, JEZEBEL AND BUFFY, succeed in yanking black maids from the posh homes of white, wealthy housewives?

This is a challenging and incendiary script, written to be produced on a low budget.

SCREENPLAY: DIVESTING SATAN OF RACIAL MADNESS

maxalex — Sun, 12 Mar 2006 18:46:29 GMT

SCREENPLAY: DIVESTING SATAN OF RACIAL MADNESS

DRAMA 118 PAGES

LOGLINE: The racial climate in America looms tolerable, that is, until a wealthy white man fatally shoots a black man, who secretly shares an apartment with the wealthy man’s collegiate daughter. Subsequently, the depraved gunman learns that the victim is the same black man he previously assaulted for chatting with a white female.

SYNOPSIS: Satan’s chief deputy, CYRUS LEGREE and his wife SARAH, pays a surprise visit to their collegiate daughter SUSAN on a Connecticut college campus. However, the LEGREES joyous expectation is quickly shattered; they learn SUSAN has moved off campus into an apartment. The LEGREES now loom in a state of acute confusion. They embrace and share each other pain. The jittery LEGREES now armed with SUSAN’S address dash swiftly over to her apartment.

After landing on the porch of SUSAN’S resident and ringing the doorbell, the LEGREES become further agitated as a tall black man, Bob Jordan finally opens the door. It seems as if time lingers in suspended animation as the diverse strangers examine each other with profound skepticism. After announcing that he’s seeking his daughter, SUSAN, a nervous BOB escorts the LEGREES down a darkened hallway and into a dimly lit bedroom, where the disgusted parents encounter their nude daughter, lying in bed.

As a stunned SUSAN attempts to explain that BOB is her lover and they are contemplating marriage, the tragic news is too traumatic for the LEGREES to digest. LEGREE, an avowed racist, hastily yanks out a revolver and fires several shots into BOB’S body, killing him instantly, as SUSAN and her mother unleash piercing screams.

Soon after Satan’s deputy, LEGREE, is arrested, a horrendous race war ensues, which is so uncontrollable that several peace commissioners are sent from heaven to combat Satan himself. Among the commissioners dispatched to Earth are JOHN F. KENNEDY, MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., ELEANOR ROOSEVELT and HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.

This is a challenging script written to be produced on a low budget.

Get Paid To Find Us $2,500

Fri, 09 Sep 2005 23:37:22 GMT

We will sign a contract to pay you to find us all or part of the $2,500 needed to put "user supported" locally made shows on local leased access channels. We need $$ to initially promote this with :30 second cable spots.

User supported shows are filled by users who pay to be on TV. For example, count the number of "Help Wanteds" that appear in your local weekend major newspaper and consider how many of those would pay a small fee to have their one minute video on a televised "Help Wanteds" show. How many would you need (only 57) for an hourly weekly? We have 6-7 show themes ready to implement and will be advertising for "Official Talent Scouts", as described http://www.DoctorMason.us/a107.html here.

TV ideas are a dime a dozen without backing. Online at http://staff.kcpa-tv.com this URL is the sample contract we propose to use. You may adjust it as required for your situation. We pay NO upfront fees for ANY reason. Other than a written contract we offer no collateral. Please consider whom you know and how associating with us on this project can help you earn substantial income in your area with our help.

Thanks.

Financers vs Sponsors

JD — Mon, 18 Oct 2004 19:56:54 GMT

So, being new to the independent film arena, was wondering about the above topic. Is it right to assume that Financers will want their money back plus interest, and sponsors are in it for the in-feature name drop, and might be giving goods or services rather than money?

I am currently working on a business plan for a feature length movie in order to attract investors. How do you handle sponsors?

Final financing

Wilhelm — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 10:20:43 GMT

Dear people,
we have started an international production with an Arabian financier. After the completion of 2/3 of shooting he found the film business boaring and dissappeared leaving the production without the last part of financing.
We are looking now for a production partner who is willing to invest appr. € 1.000.000 into a production with Italian and French partners, internationally well known actors like Michel Serrault.
It's the historic story of the life of Antonio Vivaldi with his famous music and all the rich costumes and decors of Venise in the 18th century.
If there is somebody who is really interested to co-operate and finalise the production with us please contact us as soon as possible at office@apcmedia.at
Thank you in advance
Wilhelm

GALAXIE PICTURES is currently developing 'Unfiltered', the directorial debut for Creighton Vero, screenwriter of the indie cult hit 'Spun'.

For more information contact: pete@galaxie-pictures.com

SYNOPSIS:

Teenage Sherri, a new arrival to Lake Charles, Louisiana, gets a rude awakening as the locals give her a slice of real Southern hospitality, small town style. Included in her Lake Charles initiation are some hard lessons on friendship, family, and bigotry—not the kind made of ephemeral remarks and incidental ostracizing of outsiders, but real and vicious institutional racism, the kind that ends in murder.

Sherri arrives as the locals prepare for the funeral of Mary, the town’s Contraband Days Celebration Queen. With her death begins the shattering of the perfect picture of southern hospitality that she represents. Grieving is glossed over in favor of panic about the town’s quickly evaporating marijuana supply. What’s really died is the smiling welcoming south, and its warmth and hospitality are quickly replaced by a rapid growth of weeds.

Then the ensemble cast of Unfiltered gradually unwinds into a hard picture of gritty southern life as facades of tolerance gradually peel / crumble away. What’s revealed is the stuff that’s usually swept under the carpet.
