New to event planning - question

SierraNightTide — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:06:20 GMT

My partner and I are in the stages of creating our grand opening event. For our first event we want a very specific concept performance. How do I seek out potential groups asking for a bid? proposal?

We know the concept of what we want but we would like to see what ideas a performance group (leader) can potentially offer and then pick the one we feel will best match our event.

Can I / should I contact performance groups I know of, set up a meeting for a request for a proposal of what they believe they can do?

Call for tech help on indie wrestling movie - NYC

Zorikh — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 11:57:01 GMT

Hi Folks. Captain Zorikh here, maker of "Combat Twister" (http://www.captainzorikh.com/combattwister), which has had screenings at Otto's Shrunken Head and the I-Con Sci-Fi convention and has been invited to the Royal Flush Film Festival. I have been working on my latest movie, "Redemption," and after three months of auditions, workshops, training, and rehearsals (chronicled at http://www.youtube.co... and http://czredemption.b..., my next movie, "Redemption," is ready to shoot, this weekend and next weekend in NYC, Williamsburg, and Connecticut.

This movie aims to do for the sport and martial art of submission grappling what “Rocky” did for boxing, “Karate Kid” did for youth karate, “Bad News Bears” did for little league baseball, and “Role Models” has done for Live Action Role Playing.

The story involves two teams, one of "legit" martial artists, one of "underground" fighters, who meet in tournament once a year, and one man who learns what it is to work hard and try to be the best he can be through submission grappling.

This movie has attracted the attention and participation of people from all angles of the NYC-area wrestling and martial arts scene, including multi-disciplinary black belts and champion fighters, famous pro wrestlers, and highly active people in the underground wrestling scene. Is has attracted sponsorship from the Sprawl fight shorts company and the Long Island Meadery. It already has several screening dates lined up, and will be submitted to festivals like the Brick Theater's "Fight Fest." and the Royal Flush film festival.

The thing is, I don't have enough camera people for the coverage I need. I need two this Saturday , Sunday and next Sunday, and three next Saturday. I have one this Saturday and next Sunday, and none this Sunday and next Saturday.

A sound man and some PA's would always be nice too, and I will make do with what I can get.

This is an all-volunteer production, but I will cover reasonable expenses (travel, blank tape, etc) and provide food on shoot days.

If you can help me, please contact me at zorikh@juno.com. This movie has got too much potential to not do right!

Captain Zorikh

get ready for another blow to entertainment's economy...

see — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 03:23:27 GMT

The irresponsibility of SAG never ceases to amaze me. I hope everyone in entertainment has been saving up, it looks like this could be a long one. Even without a strike, SAG turning down the offer only pushes production of pilots back even farther and will inevitably kill most of them. People are starving in LA after the $2 billion loss from the last strike. It disgusts me that the leadership of SAG is not trying to find a solution and is willing to take down the whole economy for the leaders' pride.

:( sad weekend news.

Need an asian/eurasian actress/model for xtreme cult film! Hiring now, movie currently in production. 125 a day plus %

Jason — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 03:41:17 GMT

We've just jump started our B-movie production and need to cast our lead actress ASAP! We're specifically looking for someone who's part white and part asian in their mid 20's but we're willing to tweak the character slightly for the right candidate.

Please contact aberrantbehaviormovie@gmail.com if interested

The movie's called Aberrant Behavior, a term the Motion Picture Association of America uses to describe any content in a film that isn't classifiable as violence or sexuality but is bizarre enough to warrant a severe rating and this one has tons of it. It's about two street kids suffering from pica, a rare psychological disorder that, in real life, compels people to ingest things that aren't actually edible like dirt, coffee grounds, nails, etc. But we take it to a fantastical level with the main characters getting high off anything they can get their hands on like drano, bleach, antifreeze, etc. and use it as a metaphor for drug addiction and alcoholism. The main characters fall into a codependent and self destructive relationship using each other to exercise their demons of alienation from society but ultimately destroy themselves in the end. Think Leaving Las Vegas if it was a Troma film, Sid and Nancy on acid...you get the picture.

If this sounds like something you'd be in to, ask yourselves these questions...

Do you love cult films? Horror films? Horror-romance film? Drugged out films?
Do you love gore? Debauchery?
Do you love fucked up extreme or trashy films in general? Do you really want to star in one?
Do you live/can work in the bay area?
Can you start working immediately? I mean immediately.
Are you okay with nudity/sexuality and some bizarre and disgusting behavior?
(It's called Aberrant Behavior, after all)
Maybe you prefer it?
Are you not shy? Maybe a little bit of an exhibitionist?
Do you have a pretty open schedule to start shooting?

Can you work for 125 dollars a day plus food and a negotiated percentage of the profits?

Can you do basic make up for your part and the other lead? That'd be a bonus for us.

We're shooting this movie in at least two parts over the next three to four months. Will that work for you?

Are you serious about this type of work? We are!

No vague/flakey responses will be considered. If your interested in auditioning, get back to us and we'll set up an audition at our set at 7th and howard in the SOMA.

"ELEVATE Film Festival 5 "All Tribes Unite" culminates on October 5th at Los Angeles' premiere arena, the 7000 seat state-of-the-art Nokia Theatre LA Live. In the way Cirque Du Soleil has radically redefined circus, Elevate is revolutionizing the experience of cinema.

The theme for ELEVATE is "All Tribes Unite!" We will bring together leaders and elders of native and indigenous people and give their ancient wisdom a voice through modern technology. Our goal is to ignite the deep connection we inherently feel with one another and our precious planet.

The main event is the world premiere of more than twenty short films produced exclusively for this night. Emerging and professional filmmakers from around the world are given assignments to be completed within seven days. The films cover bold and timely subjects, impacting the major forms of media: commercials, music videos, documentaries, scripted dramas and comedies. The filmmakers join us live in Los Angeles for the world premiere of their projects.

For the grand finale we will launch the first annual Elevate Award Show to honor celebrity philanthropists for doing their part to Elevate our people and our planet.

FILM MAKERS SAILING THE MED. JOIN US!

panache — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 02:39:45 GMT

Beginning in March next year, we are inviting 9 people to cruise from Bodrum, Turkey along the Turkish coast, Cyprus, Athens, Alexandria on a share expenses basis (very, very inexpensive). We began a documentary in Paris and Turkey last year, and now as it gets warmer in Turkey we are going to complete it. We have a US distributor, and everyone involved will share in profits. It could be quite profitable for you and a real life changer. We are in pre-production of three others...one on black jazz in Paris after WWII until now. We have a Turkish captain/crew/cook on our 70' Gulet, 6 double staterooms still available, all with their own head (toilet and shower). Qualifications? Simply to be able to get along with people. Age? Our producer is 60, our editor is 25. Age inmaterial if you are young in spirit. If you have video experience (HD MiniDV PAL and Final Cut Pro, writing) all the better, but we are doing this to perhaps expand the focus of our documentary which is based on the mystical aspects of Alexander the Great - Title: Force of Evidence. Creative people get free reign as long as they don't sink the ship or the project. We are interested to add some human interest...profound, provocative, funny...to the program, so film making experience in not a requirement. Come for a week or two months. Email me for details.

Disillusioned

Gothalot — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 14:33:08 GMT

When I was a boy I found a super 8 projector and a camera in my parents closet along with some dirty swedish erotica. Hey, as a boy you get inspired by that stuff. So I got it out and learned about super 8 REAL fast. The rest is history so to speak. I got my Masters in film blah blah blah from London Film School. I was from LA and slogged my way into movies from being a security guard , p.a. , then directing my first motion picture with a b list actor. I had dreams. I didn't so much want to be famous but I certainly wanted to make a living. I am good at what I do. Geeze what do I do.. I do whatever the challenge brings me, I did a lot of camera work, I made so many shorts before film school and after I cant even remember em all. I art directed, DPd, directed, wrote, made coffee, wrote-optioned and sold a few screenplays some made into movies. I paid my dues really I did. and here comes the but... BUT... things dried up. The work dwindled and dried up over the years. I went into video to pay bills by shooting legal depositions. A very client based and dependent business. When I moved the business became less an less. I have tons of expensive video gear from production to post and I have nothing to work on. I feel despondent, sad, disenfranchised at my chosen career and beaten. I could have been a doctor for what my education cost. I could have at least helped others.

Those that don't do, teach. Those that don't teach give up and die. Im dyeing here. I hear "you just gotta go out and do something but at the moment the inspiration fails me. Am I relegated to working at Jack in the box? Should I start practicing my "would you like fry's with that speech? i just don't know anymore.

Auditions- Aberrant Behavior- Saturday June 7th @ Mamma Buzz in Oakland arts district

Jason — Tue, 27 May 2008 01:58:35 GMT

I am having auditions for my new movie "Aberrant Behavior" Saturday June Seventh at Mamma Buzz Cafe in downtown Oaklands Art District 2318 Telegraph Ave from 4-6PM. If your interested in the movie you can e-mail me at: aberrantbehaviormovie@gmail.com. I have already casted some of the roles and have people working on it, I just have not cast all of them yet and of course the female lead.

There will be some paid roles (of course the leads) but this is a low budget (around 25-35,000 or so) affair so it won't be a whole lot. Just to warn you.

Aberrant Behavior, is basically a love story about two self destructive anarchistic-y street kids who have an exaggerated form of pica, a disorder where people feel compelled to eat non-food materials, carpet, dirt, soap, drano, various chemicals, etc. as portrayed as a drug addiction. They have a very co-dependent relationship and with there disorders too , they literally destroy each other.

There's more to it, but that's the basic synopsis. If you can't make it to the auditions, you can send me a head shot with resume, or whatever you want. We can then decide when and where to meet.

THERE WILL BE SOME SEXUALITY AND NUDITY FOR THE TWO LEADS, AS WELL AS MISTY AND FOGGY TO A LESSER DEGREE. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR THOSE ROLES, IF YOUR NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. THANK YOU.

I will be hiring for many roles, all ages (over 18) races, sizes, etc. But here are the main characters:
Main Characters:

LEADS:
Victor Muertos: (Mid to late twenties) Half Mexican/Half white (Half latino/half white will probably work). Black hair, down to chin and five o clock shadow. (Flexible though). Tall and thin but not too thin. Dark, brooding, depressed, prone to long winded sarcastic, cynical rants. Living off the state for mental depression, and addiction, but eventually breaks himself from the state. He hates the state, and normal life in general. He hates almost everything. He is sort of sloppy hipster, slightly emo, slight slight slight goth meets street kid. Light or no body mod, piercings, etc. He eventually lives on the street because of choice.He falls in love with Aiko. SOME NUDITY AND SEXUALS SITUATIONS REQUIRED-CAST

Aiko Zumbi (18-early twenties or look like it) Half Japanese/Half German (or Japanese, or half Japanese/Half white). Shorter than Victor, thin but still slightly curvy.
Street kid with a bit of dark hippie. Has been sexually abused as a child. Prone to violence. Prone to long winded rants, or sometimes just total silence. Dark, cynical, with a very bleak view of life. Body mods, tattoo's, piercings, fine. Dreaded or colored hair fine as well. Actually preffered. She falls in love with Victor. SOME NUDITY AND SEXUAL SITUATIONS REQUIRED.

SUPPORTING LEADS:
Pedida Muertos- (20's -40's)-Mexican- Victor's nearly catatonic - mute drug addict mother, who is usually messing around with strange men, and drugged up. Mostly abuses Victor through neglect. Mostly shown in flashbacks, but one scene in present as well. Young actress aged to look older in present, or vice versa.

Misty & Foggy (20's) two girls that Victor and Chad meet at the bar, who are wasted, and act and look like twins. Very ditzy, drunk, corporate, normal. They take Victor and Chad back to there place. Drunken debauchery ensues.

Spic 'N' Span (20's -40's)- One of the horrible mascots for the advertising firm Victor works for, "Spic n Span's Whiten it up" Cleaning product. They play racist cliched versions of mexican house workers. Think Samo. It's meant to be horrible, and it of course offends Victor.

Aiko's Father-
A militant cold hearted man who sexually abuses aiko. Must be bilingual Japanese & English

Aiko's Mother-
Always screaming at Aikos father. Bi-lingual fluent in German & English

VARIOUS:
Hipster's (18-30) Some with speaking roles. A house party Victor crashes.

Various small roles for the horrible commercials and promo's from the firm Victor briefly works for

Other roles as well-Not listed

Questions regarding work for hire

mt — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 17:19:12 GMT

Hey all,

I have a situation... My wife paid another performing artist to create a website for her, which in their arrangements included hosting.
For my understanding this is a work for hire, since he would not have made this website otherwise, without her payment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_for_hire

Now that the registry of her URL is coming up, he does not want to send us the files for the site so we can reload it onto the hosting plan that I have for my websites. He claims it is not their policy to release files. We like the base design, while the mystery meat navigation is slow and buggy, the base of the design is nice. We offered to keep his design credits unless a complete overhaul occurs, since we like the visual layout. For my knowledge, my wife paid for:
1. graphic design of the site
2. hosting from web release until this summer, seperately from basic design cost
3. registry of her URL, which was put in her name under his business.

What to do?
Do we keep the base design and re-script the back-end if he chooses to not send the files of the complete site?
What exactly are you buying when you contract for a site to be built, if not the files that comprise the site?
Recommendations?

Many thanks,
MT

Looking for an experienced Foley artist

drumfest — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 17:09:45 GMT

Hi..
I work for a children's museum in Baltimore, Port Discovery. One of my latest projects is centered around teaching children about sound effects, using only those items that they would normally find around their own home or classroom. What I am looking for is to locate an experienced Foley artist who can advise me on the gear that they would use and techniques that would be appropriate for young children, ages 6 to 12.

I can be reached at dkorup@portdiscovery.org.

Thanks...Daveed Korup

Writers Strike

Gothalot — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 17:57:45 GMT

Does any one think the Writers strike is a good thing or a bad thing. Cause and effect?

I always understood the positive effects of a union in the old days. People were poorly treated with little pay and no benefits back then.

Its understood that the WGA is asking for percentages of DVD/On-line sales in tune with the current screening residuals they get. It seems a fair issue.

Having said that there is a backlash from show cancelations. The whole industry and livelihoods of other industry professionals suffer too.

The star system is long gone, few actors control the studios, seems now the Writers are making their mark. Hey, you can make a bad movie out of a good script but you cant make a good movie from a bad script.

Aberrant behavior-auditions saturday the 19th 2263 mission (between 18th & 19th) 3:30-6:30- San Francisco

Jason — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 12:07:10 GMT

I'm making a film, that will be somewhat explicit in parts. Also, there will be imagery that needs nudity.
I am afraid that I will not be able to cut the content of the movie script, even if I find actors interested .You can e-mail me with rates, photos, questions, etc. If your an actor or actress who has worked in nudity and/or sexual situations, is comfortable with it, and would like to take on a feature narrative film as a major role please e-mail me or show up to the auditions. The two main roles are the ones that require it but there are others. If you would like to be featured in sequences that do not involve the main characters, but are part of dreamlike imagery you can either show up to the audition, or e-mail me with link to your work.
Thanks-
Jason

Here is the original posting:

I have a new movie called "Aberrant Behavior" auditioning Sat. 1/19 3:30-6:3- at the Dark Room SF 2263 Mission off of 19th and Mission@ 3:30 - 6:30. (My first movie "the period" came out through Sub Rosa Cinema can be seen/bought at Netflix www.myspace.com/theperiodmovie, as well as various other outlets)
Aberrant Behavior, is basically about two self destructive anarchistic-y street kids who have an exaggerated form of pica, a disorder where people feel compelled to eat non-food materials, carpet, dirt, soap, drano, various chemicals, etc. as portrayed as a drug addiction. There's more to it, but that's the basic synopsis. If you can't make it to the auditions, you can send me a head shot with resume, or whatever you want. We can then decide when and where to meet.

She falls in love with Victor.

Emma May (20's to 30's) Actress must be thin, because character is anorexic. Very fake, superficial, manic laughing. Very self deluded. She doesn't really see her anorexia as a problem, she think she looks great though she's obviously dieing and goes to extremes to keep herself thin. She is always dressed up elegantly and thinks of herself as a proper lady even when doing something grotesque . She is a head executive at a advertising/pr firm that she gets a Victor a brief job at, through meeting him in a class over there mutual addictions. (Brief Nudity /Partial a few times)

Caseworker Joe (30's-40's) Written has hispanic, but open. Larger guy, tall, built like a shed, a bit fat but not flabby fat. Very coarse, to the point, direct "Take no shit" kind of guy. Very normal, buys into the whole big house in the suburbs, good job, etc. He is Victor's Caseworker, and is tired of Victor's Shit, and believes he is not trying to quit. (None)

Glitters- a gay gangster rapper, take everything that's a cliche and horrible about it and flip it so that it's gay (some, will also need male models)

Pedida Muertos-Victors Mother. A nearly catatonic morally apprehensive drug addict who's always sleeping with random guys and ignoring her child (Some nudity/sexual situations can be negotiated to less)

And then random visuals, nudes for some flashback scenes (of some sort of psuedo porn the main characer shot) a girl that Victor sleeps with before he falls in love with Zumbi (requires brief nudity/sexuality) and some body part imagery that will not feature the face of the actor/actress, among other thing

thanks for reading

Is anyone here belong to financial core in SAG?

Crystal — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 04:48:02 GMT

I have given it a lot of thought and consideration, and it simply comes down to - I can't pay my bills without working. Sounds simple I know, however, I am not even given the chance to audition for SAG jobs, so I really want to join financial core. Does anyone have any experience with this or would like to share any suggestions? Also, what are the steps I need to take to join Fi-Core? I'm afraid to call up SAG and ask them in fear they will get mean over me wanting to drop the union and go for Fi-Core. ?
Anyone?
Thanks, and with so much gratitude for anyone who can share,
~Crystal

Need votes to win equipment in the Apple 24hr Student film contest! PLEASE HELP!!!

John — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 20:47:50 GMT

Hello you guys!

I have been promoting our film madly - I've created
fliers to post, little 'cards' to hand out to people,
and I've sent out batches of emails in groups (I still
have lots more to send out!).

The only way we are going to win is if we ALL promote
like MAD! Below I have copied the email I sent out to
the Whaddya group - use it or change it to suit your
needs. I've attached the flier and 'cards' - you can
change them or use them as is. Please tell EVERYONE
YOU KNOW! Make sure they rate it!!! There are many
problems with the mac site - the main ones that affect
us are
1. You can't search by our movie name - it doesn't
work.
2. Using the email to a friend function on our page
sends a link that doesn't work (or it didn't last time
I checked).
3. The only thing that seems to work is searching by
our team name -
whaddyagonnadoaboutit

Thanks!

Whaddya Gonna Do About It? team entered the
Insomnia Film Festival
Turn 24 hours into a
3-minute masterpiece

The list of elements were given out at 9am EST on
October 13th, we shot at 3 locations, our visual
effects master Andrew Coggeshall was importing and
working while we set up for the next shots. I was
importing footage into Final Cut by 6pm. By 2am I had
picture-lock and I handed off to John Madden for
scoring. Dana Jae proved to be the marathan champion
by mixing and compressing at the wee hours of the
morning to get it uploaded by 9am EST on October 14th.

It was a fantastic learning experience - and we ended
up with a pretty cool little movie. AND WE NEED YOUR
HELP TO WIN!!! There were 3000 entries this year, so
competition will be tough. You can help by watching
and rating movies - the 25 entries with the highest
rating on November 9 at 12:00 a.m. EST will be
screened by industry professionals, including Barry
Sonnenfeld, James Mangold, and Nora Ephron. The
biggest hit with either the public or the pros, each
member of the team will receive a MacBook Pro with
Final Cut Studio 2, Logic Studio, and Shake! THIS
PRIZE WILL HELP US MAKE MORE MOVIES!

So... I encourage you to check it out! Please tell
all of your friends & family, too! You have to create
a Mac ID - if you have ever ordered from Mac or
iTunes, you already have one. You will also need
Quicktime Player - available for free download at Mac.

Whaddya Gonna Do About It? Productions presents...

Seattle Nightlife

petermadril — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 20:41:58 GMT

This Thursday the Seattle City Council will be meeting to discuss the city's nightlife policies and possibly vote on a limited license for clubs that the city could later revoke if the club does not meet their requirements. In plain english, any club that is required to purchase this license can be shut down and put out of business at any time the city and our favorite mayor decide so.

The council will be taking public comment at this meeting.

It's important for us as a community to represent our interests and show that there is a large base of constituents willing to stand up for their rights and their way of life. There will be plenty of pressure there from the uber-rich condo owners who think they can buy homes in a club district and shut them down with noise complaints willing to make campaign donations to get their way. We have to show that we are just as powerful a force and that we ARE paying attention. Please come down and let your voice be heard, if only by being present.

The meeting will take place this Thursday August 16th at 6pm in West Seattle at the Highpoint Community Center, 6920 34th Ave. SW.

More details available at the Seattle City Council site:
http://www.seattle.gov/council/newsdetail.asp?ID=7618&Dept=28

Please repost this, and thanks for your support.

3. log in

Thanks in advance for all your votes.

In this fourth webisode of "Caravan" the crew gets to work converting the buses to run on veggie oil, and build the interior for living on the road. With a month to go till the scheduled departure to Costa Rica can they really pull it together on time?

Performers Wanted... for Soma Olam Performance Company

RA — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 01:58:07 GMT

Soma Olam (www.somaolam.com), a performance art company based in San Francisco, is looking for 1 female and 1 male performer to fill 2 paid positions starting immediately and continuing through the fall (potentially indefinitely). Pay rate is $250/month with 2 rehearsals (4 hour and 3 hour) per week. We are currently featuring a show called "The Tears of Jelal" and will be touring briefly in late June and early July on the west coast as well as performing at a few west coast festivals in Aug and Sept. We are currently working on new material for the show and are looking for people skilled in dance (modern, contemporary, butoh, ballet, hip hop, etc), capoeira, acrobatics, contact improv, prop manipulation, and aerial dance. All of these skills are a plus and, of course, all are not expected. We are currently in residence at Xenodrome Performance Space located @ 1320 Potrero Ave, San Francisco (in the Mission).

Please message me directly, RA (Rob Dixon), Artistic Director, with any questions or to set up an audition. Please contact soon since these positions may fill up quickly. Visit our web site: www.somaolam.com

Soma Olam offers a unique, "impressionist" style of physical theater. A multimedia performance troupe, we set out to create and explore emotional landscapes through visuals, soundscapes, and performative elements. These elements include aerial arts, stilting, dance, acro-balancing, multi-media projection, abstract lighting, elaborate set design, and special effects.
At the confluence of the personal and the universal, these performance journeys are multi-sensory and participatory. We feel that through the window of the microcosm of human relation, we glimpse into the grander archetypes that govern our world and universe. Since our work uses only sparse language and occasional spoken word, it is not bound by language barriers, therefor keeping open the possibility of touring internationally.

"The Tears of Jelal"

"The heart... is made alive by (one) who gives an outlet to intense feelings.
By so doing the clouds of jelal, the power which gathers with psychic development,
fall in tears as drops of rain,
and the sky of (the) heart is clear,
allowing the soul to shine."
Hazrat Inayat Khan

Join us on a journey into the collective consciousness of humanity. "TEARS OF JELAL..." the story of where we are now, how we got here, and most of all, what it will take to release what we are clinging to and move forward with grace.

Currently a 35 minute performance, Soma Olam sets out to tell an epic tale exploring humanity's experience of love, loss, separation, forgiveness and release. It follows two characters, their guides, and the people of earth on their journey from creation to birth; from connection to separation; from light into shadow; and from shadow into... the unknown. This is a look into what it will take for humankind to evolve into a brighter, more promising future.

just wanted to let you know about my free weekly podcast.
my show 'Deeper Shades of House' on XM Radio - The Move is also available for download since November of '06.

The only restrictions are that it's online a week after it has been aired on XM and I am only making the first of the 2 hour show available.

more info, playlists etc. at http://deepershades.net // free subscription at http://feeds.feedburner.com and

iTunes users click this link, please:

Performers required in Shanghai - Please pass the word ;-)

pyroptix — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 16:06:05 GMT

Looking for professional artists with touring experience.
Unique acts suitable for a NON english speaking audience are required for ongoing work in China, starting with various PR events in Shanghai next year.

Also interested in any productions that are 'ready to go' or already toured.
Same language limitations. Anything based with strong Visual/Audio impact and/or body language for communication is best.
Everything from a 3 person aerial act, to a 2 hour production for an audience of 3000, to something completely wild for major concerts.
Anything not based on the type of traditional circus skills the chinese excell at would have a big advantage.

Please send Promo package with DVD, hardcopy photo's and bio with performance
history to:

Dan Miethke
Black Dragon Media
RM1202 No19 Lane85 Xi Suzhou Road

Looking for a Spiritually Enlightening story to tell...

rasainthelight — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 22:15:37 GMT

Greetings!

I am a freelance writer seeking my next story to tell...

Possibly a profile or feature article about an actor, actress, or artist, preferrably in San Francisco Bay Area. My current interests include massage, bodywork, alternative healing, Raw Foods, Vegan/Vegetarianism and Effortless Prosperity, Abundance and Manifestation.

If you have a great story and are looking for free media coverage through magazine or web article please contact me. Note: I get paid when I sell the article to a print or web-based publisher, so it costs you nothing but a phone call, some e-mails or possibly an in-person interview -- and you get free media coverage (sometimes reprinted in more than one media outlet?!)

See some sample clips and my info at:

SCREENPLAY: Luring Blue-Collar Men to Tinseltown

maxalex — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 05:11:30 GMT

SCREENPLAY

LOGLINE

Abused Hollywood Actresses denounce their violent lovers; consequently, the unionized ACTRESSES lure to TINSELTOWN, a throng of BLUE-COLLAR MEN.

SYNOPSIS

A furious Lesbian actress, GRACE GRAHAM, unionizes a bevy of terrified ACTRESSES, after most of them had been viciously assaulted, by some of Hollywood preeminent ACTORS. As president of a newly formed ACTRESS UNION, GRACE urges all ACTRESSES to abstain from social communication with Hollywood’s gorgeous predators.

Before long, a new social technique is implemented, whereas ACTRESSES lure “BLUE-COLLAR MEN” to TINSELTOWN for the purpose of evaluating their romantic prowess. To enact this innovative, social modus operandi, GRACE sets out to erect a MATRIARCHAL COMMUNE (EDITH CRANE VILLAGE) on an abandoned army base in the San Fernando Valley, exclusively for actresses. However, Hollywood ACTORS won’t be allowed on the premises.

But GRACE’S strategy is soon shattered when the newly erected COMMUNE is mysteriously bombed. Before long, a determined GRACE rebuilds the COMMUNE. But lo and behold, GRACE’S woes begin anew. As GRACE dines in a steakhouse near a window with her two female lovers, AMY and MOLLY, several gunshots are fired into the steakhouse; within seconds, AMY and MOLLY falls to the floor, mortally wounded by an anonymous perpetrator or perpetrators. Will the tragic arson and murder cases be solved by the hard-nose Chief of Police, MIKE SIMMONS and will the MATRIARCHAL COMMUNE become operational?

Seeking filmmaker or producer with a sound budget to produce film.

I got a break! On air in San Fran, 8/23(1pm) & 8/24(10pm) on Ch27. Please watch and feedback!

John — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 19:11:25 GMT

A 30 minute educational/documentary about my project 30 films in 30 days will be on Channel 27 on Wednesday 8/23 at 1pm, and Thursday 8/24 at 10pm. This airing is sadly only available inside San Francisco on Cable (EATV), but it has already aired 4 times on the 127 outlets in the state of California that are supplied by the CCCSAT satellite (we got picked up in April, aired in April and May).
I would be most grateful for viewers, and following that, any feedback that might make future projects quality.
This is a very exciting thing for all of us here, and hopefully is one of the many fractured introductions that Whaddya Gonna Do About It? Productions have been leaking out for the last few years.
Our first feature, which predates 30.30 by one year, will be releasing soon, so there is a huge amount of product in the pipeline coming out soon for those who like our styles.

This was a history making endeavor that has been universally reacted to with shock and awe. No one in history had ever attempted to make 30 films in 30 days, but we attempted and succeeded.

Please support this and forward to as many people as you can. A single shot is all most of us will ever get... I have been very fortunate, blessed really, to be able to achieve some of my dreams, but they need to be shared with an audience, and there is no better audience than that of my peers and fellow artists.

Thank you very very sincerely.
-John Madden

TEMP LIVE/WORK SPACE NEEDED URGENTLY

Rokk — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 03:03:24 GMT

Sorry this is shaneless I know but I'm just putting this out to the unicerse...

TEMP LIVE/WORK SPACE NEEDED URGENTLY

Hi I am the Australian Director of the Vociferous Productions Independent feature film

“What A Great Idea”

www.imdb.com/title/tt0762147/

The production is 90% complete and we are in negations and shopping for finishing funds. It is a very unique project and we have strong leads for festivals and other markets.
This is actually a great opportunity to own a piece of a project that is well into production and get a foot in the door of the Independent Film World.

For many reasons the production is taking longer than anticipated and I now find myself in the awkward position of having no available cash and nowhere to live and work.

In or near Los Angeles and close to public transportation.

I am willing to offer
- An Executive Producer Credit…
- Festival rights and screening and wrap party invitations
- And an Equity in the project equal to 150% of agreed market rent value

In lieu of cash; for the room rooms or space, .to any individual, landlord or company that can provide a place for me to live and work for 3-4 months…In a home apartment or livable commercial building

Other details, conditions and terms can be discussed or negotiated but first please call our Production Manager; Patricia Morice on 626 792 2143 – ASAP

Or respond via Email to:
vociferous@fastmail.fm

with a phone number included in the body of the Email message

This matter is urgent as I have a place to stay until the end of June only

Yours Sincerely
Rokk Lattanzio
Vociferous Productions.

Save San Francisco Street Fairs!

TJA — Sun, 28 May 2006 05:30:37 GMT

CALL TO ACTION - PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL ENTERTAINMENT AND ACTIVIST LISTS

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As pointed out by Amanda Witherell of the San Francisco Bay Guardian, the future of our City’s fabulous street fairs and music festivals is threatened by policy changes and fee hikes currently being pushed by various city departments. In particular, the Rec and Parks Department and Commission seems to have forgotten its mandate to serve the city as a whole and instead, are making radical policy changes to appease select neighbor groups and in one case, one individual who has harassed city bureaucrats over sound levels at Sharon Meadow.

The SFLNC is joining with many other city groups to say we've had enough, that the city's outdoor events are enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of residents and tourists who come here for our world class cultural attractions. City policy should not be made in closed door meetings between bureaucrats and small groups of neighbors, without input from event organizers or thousands of attendees.

Please join the SFLNC in telling City politicians and bureaucrats that our summer street events and music festivals are a crucial part of our cultural fabric and need protection from neighbors who prefer the city to sound like Walnut Creek. Please tell the City that our special events need protection not fee hikes that threaten their financial viability. Please tell the police department and mayor's office that responsible adults should be able to drink a beer at city events without being herded into small and unnecessary beer gardens that restrict our civil liberties.

Preliminary communications with Rec and Parks Commissioners indicate a good chance that they will vote to deny North Beach Jazz Festival the ability to serve beer and wine in Washington Square Park, which they have done for 12 years without incident. We need to express our outrage that such a radical policy change is being made without adequate public input or due process. North Beach Jazz is a free festival whose budget is largely paid by revenue from beer and wine sales. Loss of that revenue will kill the free festival, as simple as that. It might be understandable if the event had serious problems due to beer and wine sales, but that has never been the case. Rec and Park is taking away the organizers ability to sell beer and wine to appease some neighbors and an anti-alcohol local police captain. No one asked the opinion of the 35,000 people who attend the two day free event and who enjoy a drink while listening to jazz in the Park

Please read the excellent articles in the Bay Guardian and ACT NOW to save North Beach Jazz Festival and other city music festivals and street fairs. Instructions on how you can help are posted here from the organizers of North Beach jazz. Even if you are not a jazz lover, these changes have a way of becoming city policy if we don’t object and your street fair or festival may be next. ACT NOW!

PLEASE READ

Attack of the NIMBYs! - By Marke B., SF Bay Guardian

http://www.sfbg.com/entry.php?entry_id=646

CALL TO ACTION!!! - SAVE NORTH BEACH JAZZ FEST

If you can't see this email, click HERE
PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO ALL MUSIC FANS and DEFENDERS of CIVIL LIBERTY

BACKGROUND

· North Beach Jazz Fest in Washington Square Park is a 12-year-old family friendly event that remains free by selling food, beer, and wine

· NBJF has always been permitted to sell alcoholic beverages in Washington Square Park. No problems have ever resulted from alcohol sales at this event.

· This year, the SF Police Department is pushing a "beer garden" policy for outdoor events, forcing organizers to create small fenced in 21+ areas. This policy limits access for those under 21, including children with their parents.

· Because of the access limitations created by beer gardens, the SF Recreation and Parks Operations Committee voted on May 3rd to deny NBJF the ability to sell alcohol in Washington Square Park.

· This denial threatens NBJF since revenue from beverage sales pay for the majority of festival expenses. Without this revenue, NBJF will go bankrupt.

· On Tuesday, May 30, 2pm in Room 416 of City Hall, the full commission of SF Rec. & Park will vote to approve or deny their application.

HOW CAN YOU HELP SAVE NORTH BEACH JAZZ FEST?

· SEND AN EMAIL to savenbjf@sunsetpromotions.net - this will forward your email to all the Rec. & Park Commissioners & Operations Staff , Board of Supervisors, and the Mayor.
Use Subject = "Save NBJF"

· CALL: The SF Rec. & Park Dept. at 415-831-2701 - Ask for G.M. Yomi Agunbiade

· SPEAK: Come to City Hall on the 30th and SPEAK YOUR MIND

(Please try to do ALL THREE if you can as we need your support every step of the way)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some talking points for CUT & PASTE, and please be courteous in all communications

· Rec and Parks department policy should be made by all stakeholders, not a select few

· Beer and Wine sales have never been a problem at North Beach Jazz Fest

· Without police imposed “beer gardens”, people of all ages can enjoy free jazz in Washington Square Park

· Beer Gardens are an unnecessary intrusion on our civil liberties

· Responsible adults should be able to drink at licensed events in City parks

· Without the revenue from beer and wine sales, the North Beach Jazz Fest will cease to exist

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THANKS: To the following individuals and organizations, for their support in our time of need: The thousands of music fans in San Francisco. SF Outdoor Events Coalition, North Beach Chamber of Commerce, SF Late Night Coalition, IN-Ticketing, Nomad Printing & Rocket Postcards, Matagrano INC, SFStation, SFWeekly, Nitevibe, LoveFest, True Skool, Mayor Gavin Newsom, District 3 Supervisor Aaron Peskin

RHAPSODY: Trailer

gklavans — Fri, 28 Apr 2006 06:28:18 GMT

RHAPSODY!
This film has surpassed my expectations. An example of perseverance in the face of adversity, not the film but the journey it took to make this short. Where others were willing to walk away, I wasn't. I saw the potential and needed to bring it to fruition. With the undeniable expertise of Alex Studer and the added sound by Regan and of course the very talented, Marie Roux... Rhapsody will not only be completed, but the film is festival worthy.

A 20 something Trent Rezner

markallen — Tue, 17 Jan 2006 02:54:28 GMT

I'm working on a project and for one role, we are looking for a musician, performer, actor, activist... someone with some Q value who does not necessarily have to be an actor, but should definitley have a soulful screen presence.

I haven't had a TV in 10 years, so I'm only aware of film stars. Are there any musicians or TV stars that anyone can think of who embodies a soulful, artistic, bohemian quality - sort of like a 20 something Trent Rezner... or a 20 something Jared Leto for that matter. Has to be male in his 20s.

Anyone come to mind? Someone from an unexpected place would be great (meaning, not someone who is already a film star).

Thanks - will be intresting to see the suggestions.

Seminar: “What is Producing” Tuesday, December 13, 2005 - SFSU Burk Hall 229 or remote access video stream

Robert — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 05:43:54 GMT

opic: “What is Producing”

Tuesday, December 13, 2005

6:00 – 7:00 PM

Burk Hall 229 or
remote connections (internet):

We will stream using Quicktime 7. Launch Quicktime, under File, choose
Open URL and type or paste rtsp://at1.sfsu.edu/Ujlaki.sdp

Hello Everyone,

Once Upon a time in a Digital Village is a distance learning project that will be hosting Stephen Ujlaki, Chairman of SFSU's Cinema Department. I am organizing this event as a project for a graduate Distance Education class. All ITEC and Cinema students, along with alumni and others with an interest in Film Producing are welcome to participate.

On Tuesday Dec. 13th, 2005 between 6 pm and 7 pm, Prof. Ujlaki will be giving a one hour intensive "What is Producing" seminar, during the 442 Cinema class in Producing Film and visual media. This is a highly sought after advanced class in the art, and business, of Producing Film and other media projects that are related to film and video production.

If you have ever wondered what types of contracts, talent releases, and various waivers are needed to produce a film or documentary piece that can get distribution or be allowed into film festivals, then this is a rare opportunity to learn and ask questions from an industry profession. An industry professional who is the Chair of SFSU Cinema Dept. and dedicated to pulling away the "veil" of the Film Industry juggernaut's inner workings so students can approach their career with a solid knowledge of industry standards and not a pocket full of mysteries and rumors.

A portion of this project will be conducted in the Collaboratorium (Burk Hall Room 229) with students participating through two-way video and text conferencing. There will be full video and audio support in the Collaboratorium. To use text as a remote communication tool, we will be using Skype (if you want to connect remotely using Skype you will have to download Skype (from www.skype.com) and login use the Skype Chat utility) - we may arrange a second option also, email Robert (me) to get an update on this.

To be included in this project please RSVP to; rlf4productions@gmail.com, as feeds will be limited (to the first 200 online participants), as will the seats at the Collaboratorium – we may arrange special seating in select cases as needed for those alumni and students who are involved with media production or who maybe for their work or program.

***If you are a Tribe member note that (and which Tribe - ei.: Film makers, DV, editing, etc.) in your email and I will do my best to get you all set up. Please contact me before 3pm Tues. as I will be running through the spec. test after that time to see how our streaming video transfer rate is clocking, as well as testing our feed.***

A bit about film producer Stephen Ujlaki, chair of SFSU Cinema Department:

Stephen Ujlaki, a producer of more than 25 feature films, made-for-cable movies and documentaries, was recently named professor and chair of the San Francisco State University Cinema Department, named one of the nation's top film schools last year by Entertainment Weekly.

As vice president of development and production for HBO Pictures from

1983 to 1988, Ujlaki supervised script development, production and post-production for more than 25 films including "Baja Oklahoma"

(Julia Roberts), "Last Innocent Man" (Ed Harris) and "Act of Vengeance" (Charles Bronson).

"Film production involves many of the same administrative, logistical and people skills: ensuring that financial and creative input into the screenplay is heard, keeping everyone happy without going over budget or hurting the picture, resolving conflicts, and maintaining strong leadership and direction," said Chairman Ujlaki.

Ujlaki was most recently president of Panarea Productions, where he produced such feature films as "Loch Ness" (Ted Danson), "Hot Spot"

(Don Johnson, directed by Dennis Hopper) and "Courage Mountain"

(Charlie Sheen) as well as numerous HBO feature films including "Stiletto Dance" (Eric Roberts), "Xchange" (Stephen Baldwin) and "Hostile Intent" (Rob Lowe).

Previously, Ujlaki headed the European Feature and Television Production division for Stone Group France, a production studio owned by actor Michael Douglas. Reporting directly to Douglas, Ujlaki was responsible for bringing productions to the studio, managing film budgets, overseeing co-production partners and managing all personnel and film crews.

"San Francisco State can be known as more than just the 'independent film school,'" said Ujlaki, who founded the film program at Franconia College in New Hampshire and has also taught at the American Film Institute and Brandeis University. "A degree in cinema could also provide a wealth of career opportunities in the film industry. If one does not wish to pursue a completely independent path, there are many other marketable skills that can be developed into such careers as writing, producing, editing, directing and post-production."

Check out A4D!

BelCobraDancer — Fri, 18 Nov 2005 01:15:46 GMT

I've been reading some of the interviews on Answers 4 Dancers (www.answers4dancers.com) lately and I've just gotta say, the practical value for serious dancers is absolutely amazing. What people like Grover Dale, Tina Landon and Michael Rooney have to say about the audition and rehearsal processes are so honest, revealing and relevant that I think every professional or performing dancer should know about it.

I have no financial stake in A4D so you know I'm telling it straight when I say it is just about the best $8.33 a month I've ever spent. There is a lot of information on the free pages as well, so you can truly try before you buy. Here's the link to Grover Dale's biography, which I find particularly inspiring- Grover's expertise, kindness, and knowledge of not only the industry but the people in it are legendary!

Reality TV tries to unionize

Tue, 21 Jun 2005 03:46:04 GMT

hey, for those of you who have been abused by post production in reality tv, you might be interested in this...

yes, that's right, the writers, editors, producers who work for reality tv get screwed A LOT! and the "reality" is that there aren't many jobs outside of reality tv in the entertainment field, so many people are forced to work for reality shows, and then get shafted...

More info on the fight the union is putting up in favor of reality tv story makers...
