ROXANNE is a short drama exploring the bond that develops between a trans-gendered sex worker in London and an abandoned 12 year old girl.

 

Roxanne is a funded short film shooting in London 25-29 July 2014. The film is also currently crowd funding an extra £10K to allow the production to shoot on 35mm film.

A London based Second Assistant Director is required and will be paid £70 per day, inclusive of travel, for the five days of production. Pre production is not paid. It goes without saying food and refreshments will be provided on set.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the production of daily call sheets, movements orders and any other necessary documents that support the production and need to be distributed among crew and cast. These documents will need to be completed one week prior to production. These documents may be subject to change during the production. During the pre production the successful candidate will be required to participate in location recces and potentially complete risk assessments in my absence.

During production you will be my right hand and support the back end of the set (ensure cast and crew arrive on time, ensure cast are dressed and ready for stand by). The usual drill. You will also distribute designated tasks to runners and manage them effectively. Courtesy and good manners are a mandatory efficacy of this role.

It is essential you have a good working knowledge of Celtx production management software as this is the tool being used to breakdown and manage the schedule.

Access to Skype is essential for interview. I am seeking a bright, committed, hard working person and these qualities will be more influential than an extensive CV. Demonstrate you understand the role, have some experience of it, are able to perform to a high standard and have a genuine interest in working in production and you stand a good chance of being selected. I am posting on Shooting People because I want to give someone a chance. For the successful candidate this is a huge opportunity to step up, grow and land a high profile, high production value short film for your CV.

Due to the nature of the project the successful candidate must be comfortable working with trans-gendered people.

Roxanne is produced by Akua Obeng-Frimpong and photographed by Rina Yang. I am the 1st Assistant Director.

EDIT: I know how unhelpful the new SP format is, its limited word count and inability to permit attachments. Therefore please email applications directly to[email protected]. Feel free to include links to IMBD, trailer and video examples of your work and anything else you feel is relevant.

‘Being 75’

You are never too old to enjoy the things you love, and you are never to young to share life’s ‘cooler’ moments with those who have been here before. In Being Seventy Five, Jane struggles to incorporate her mother Norah’s youthful, rock and roll outlook into her busy life. It soon becomes clear that being cool has nothing to do with age, and that sometimes simply sharing a can of coke can bring different generations together.
