Crew Call: Camera Operators for Glastonbury

I can not say too much about this project just yet but it is a high profile and artistic film involving weather, politics and music… the film already has exhibition in place for 2015 in a major London venue and at the Prague Quadrennial.

I am looking for a few creative camera people for a project filming between June 25-30th. A few requirements other than being creative, experienced and able to think on your feet and laterally… You also must have been to the Glastonbury Music Festival before, not be opposed to camping in a tent for a few days nor be put off by a bit of mud and randomness. I am looking for creative flair, people who enjoy the collaborative process and would be willing to engage with some pre-production brainstorming in the run up to filming.

Pay: £150 per day plus amazing Glastonbury access

Casting Calls – Aritha

Croftie’s partner. A postal worker. Solid and determined

Casting Calls – Jimmy

Insecure, he’s not sure why he’s there. He believes his wife would be better off if he were dead, free to meet someone who would be a proper husband and a competent father to their children.

Casting Calls: No Fruit at the Bottom

I am looking to find cast for a micro budget feature to be shot in Birmingham next year. I do however want to start looking for the cast now. It will suit local unknown actors looking for a real chance to be noticed. We will all be in the same boat in that sense. There are only has four acting roles available, two male and two female, all in their mid-twenties. You simply have to be right for the part and believable. Rehearsals unpaid.

The story is similar to the old Michael Caine movie ‘Alfie in that it is a lothario story where only the main character breaks the fourth wall ( talking to the camera) But it is a much more adult and darker story than ‘Alfie’ with a main character that is manipulative, toxic, intelligent, analytical, and without a conscience. It’s a sort of comment on the times we are now living in with relationships being so disposable and having such a short shelf life.
