I am in the early stages of Pre-production for a horror film in the Gaithersburg, MD area. The shoot will be break neck speed over 4 weekends starting in Mid August. the Budget is approx $1,000 to $1500.

I am looking for the following...

Director of Photography
Persons with GL1 or better Cameras (Canon or Sony) to help out as Camera B & C and some 2nd unit stuff.
Someone to help with editing.
Anyone with props suchs as guns, arms, legs etc etc
Make-up Artists
75-100 extra's to be zombies. (bring the rattiest clothes you can find)

As stated the budget is low, however I am trying to work things out to make sure key people involved get some kind of compensation. Even if it is Gas Money.

Food will be provided each night of the shoot. The shoot will begin 2nd weekend in August on a friday night and run until Saturday morning, Break til 4pm Saturday then work from 4pm til sun up sunday morning. That schedule will last 2 weekends at most.

Break for Labor day holiday weekend

Shooting restarts Saturday morning 6am til 8pm then re-starts Sunday 6am til 6pm sunday afternoon. This will go on 2 weekends in a row in september.

a 3rd weekend in September will be reserved for re-shoots.

I am hoping to do something at least Grade B or C level, but most of all I want it to be a fun and open environment. Since this will be my first directing project, with DV no less, I am open to any technical input from those will to lend a hand.

If anyone is interested in jumping on board... please email me at Shufflingzombie@yahoo.com or IM me @ Yahoo Instant Messenger Shufflingzombie is the name.

Thanks for reading!

Hello!
I'm just checking in. I'm located in beautiful Columbia, Mo. The University of Missouri is the center of everything here and on the plus side 10 minutes out of town is some pristine country to shoot.
Thanks,
Mick

Gary McClurg · May 18th, 2005, 02:52 PM

We have some things happening here in Springfield as well.

We have a film festival in October.

We'll be looking for entries.

Plus working on lots of guests as we speak.

Both in front and behind the camera.

Innomind.org is shooting a documentary on Azerbaijan, called "Mountain of God". This project requires traveling to Azerbaijan and staying there for production for two weeks. You must have an HDV camcorder - Sony HVR-Z1. No filming experience necessary, since I am not shooting an ordinary style of documentary. If you want to experience the magic of Azerbaijan and looking for a challenging adventure, willing to be a cameraman, this is your opportunity. Contact Renat at 646.522.8667 to discuss in detail before May 21, as I am researching on the best rates to fly there from NY.

Thanks

Gary Siu · May 18th, 2005, 04:07 PM

Hey Dan, just want to thank you again for helping me out, and starting a new found friendship. You marvel at your talents and I really enjoyed our conversation. The regulator works great, and in the winter I can use it as a hand warmer! HAHA (Just joking Dan.) Thanks again.

Harikrishnan Ponnurangam · May 18th, 2005, 04:22 PM

You are welcome Garry,
I am glad I was able to help and the contraption works well. I forgot to take a pic, maybe when and if you have time, you do it. I like to have pics of all "toys" I make. Very nice to meet you too.

Jack Matthews · May 19th, 2005, 12:38 PM

Hey Lisa,

You're from England? Cool same here. I really admire your courage and dedication towards this. I myself am from Cambridge, and although i'm not all that experienced in Film (previous experience was with Stage Theatre) if there is any way i can help please do let me know.

Jack Matthews · May 19th, 2005, 12:40 PM

Hey,
I'm Jack, from Cambridge - England, and am very enthusiastic about getting into the film-making industry. I've previously been involved with small scale theatre productions but am now looking to start with amatuer film making. I have an idea, and a very basic script, however i am not the best of writers (English is actually my second language) and was wondering if there was anyone out there who could help me with the writing (or knows someone who could help). Any references or help would be most appreciated. (or anyone who is willing to review my very basic script and offer suggestions).
Thanks

- Jack

Yeah. Haha. Well, i'm attempting (this is all future planning as i plan to complete my studies - which will take 1 1/2 more years) to set up a Production company and be a producer. I do wish to get involved in Directing as well. I've posted in another topic about a script i want someone to look over and help me 'flesh out' and expand, or give any form of feedback on.

Edit: feel free to contact me at kitol88@hotmail.com
