Camera Operator and Film Crew Needed for Reality Show (Detroit, MI)

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Camera Person and Post-Editing Job

Reality show that will be on Para-X Vision needs a camera person with their own camera to film some episodes in the next month. We will also need someone who knows post-editing, film/tv students are great if you want the experience.

Here’s the deal, we have a reality show idea that almost made it into production with a main reality show company, we needed all six board members to agree, only four did, other two thought it better to hold off for now. We have a deal with Para-X Vision, which is an internet TV station that wants to play the show in a more scaled down version, plus this will get sizzle reel for the big boys to see. We have the idea, we have the talent but we don’t have the crew.

There’s no compensation for the moment, except meals while filming, BUT all we need is a few episodes and if it gets picked up there will be something down the road. It’s a start up project and we just want to get something recorded to see where it goes. If you’re interested, we would love to here from you.

“The Problem of a Flower” Casting Call, Asphodelus Productions (Detroit, MI)

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Asphodelus Productions seeks actors for the short film “The Problem of a Flower”.

Synopsis:

Adam, a sporadically-employed twenty-something, has lost all meaning from his life after his girlfriend rejects his marriage proposal. He turns to his artist friends, each stranger than the former, for purpose. One makes thousands of paper airplanes; another composes poems to the dead; still another obsessively washes windows until he can see his own clear vision of the world. Perhaps Adam will learn a valuable lesson when all of them come together…or is he forever doomed to remain stuck in the past?

Character Breakdown:

  • BEADRICE - 20-30, the fickle girl of Adam’s dreams. Unwittingly callous in her day to day behavior.
  • LIONEL/LEONA – (gender flexible), 20-30, Anal expulsive personality (broadly defined as exhibiting cruelty, emotional outbursts, disorganization, self-confidence, (sometimes) artistic ability, generosity, rebelliousness and general carelessness), obsessed with splattering paint and contemplating the cosmos.
  • AIDEN - 20-40, strange poet obsessed with the dead and with seduction.
    Our style is inspired by Gondry’s THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP (surrealism) and Hitchcock’s SPELLBOUND (a man fighting for his identity hindered by deep-seated psychological issues).

Our style is inspired by Gondry’s THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP (surrealism) and Hitchcock’s SPELLBOUND (a man fighting for his identity hindered by deep-seated psychological issues). Roles are unpaid, but will offer a great deal of creative control, as important collaborators with the director.
