Tucson: Pima County Library video projects seek DPs and sound mixers - PAID

From: hoobits@gmail.com
Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2007 1:09 PM
Subject: [IFASA] Pima County Library video projects seek DPs and sound
mixers - PAID

This summer I, Ben Umstead, am one of a few producers (primarily from
Pan Left productions) working with Pima County Library on two video
projects for the library system and community.

#1 TEEN BOOK TRAILER PROJECT

The first project encompasses 8 smaller trailer projects directed by
teens. This is the teen trailer book project where selected teens have
picked their favorite books to turn into a movie trailer to promote
the book.
We are now past the script writing process and well into the casting
and pre production process for all projects and seeking DPs and sound
mixers who would be interested in working with dedicated, passionate
and visionary teens and their mentor co-producer/director on their
trailer.
All 8 projects are spread out over the month of June, at least one a
week. Though only one shooting day. The source material ranges from
"The Giver" to "Cirque Du Freak".

All projects will be shot on a Panasonic 24p camera. Moderate lighting
kits will be available.
We will be mixing sound with a standard Schure 4-6 channel field mixer
and be using several boom mounted mics.

Pay will be lower then standard and not a flat daily fee but an hourly
fee of $12.50. These are seen as community based projects and the
library has a limited budget.

The projects will be shown online, through Access Tucson, and
distributed on DVD through Library and school systems as well as being
shown at public events.

If you're interested in stepping up and doing something fun and
different; getting a chance to teach and learn from young filmmakers
then please contact each individual mentor producer. All relevant
project and contact info listed below:

Book: The Catcher In The Rye
Shooting Date: June 16th

<mailto:raquel%40panleft.org>

#2 TEEN ADVOCACY VIDEO

The 2nd project is a new Teen advocacy video promoting and encouraging
the the library to teenagers. This will be done in a non preachy, non
cheesy way, paying some homage to the John Hughes film, "The Breakfast
Club."
Pan Left's Liz Burden and myself are co-producing and I will be
directing this video.

Pay will be a flat daily fee at least 25% higher then the teen trailer
pay. So at least $125 or $150. The library still needs to get back to
us on this...

Shooting is scheduled for Sunday June 24th and Sunday July 1st at the
Main Library Downtown.

We will be shooting on a Panasonic 24p camera and have access to
moderate lighting kits.

Sound will be handled through a Schure 4-6 channel field mixer. We
have our choice of several different boom mics

The project will be shown online, through Access Tucson, and
distributed on DVD through Library and school systems as well as being
shown at public events.

You may contact me, Ben Umstead if interested.
contact: benumstead@gmail.com <mailto:benumstead%40gmail.com>

Thanks everyone for your time. Hope to hear from some of you.

Performance Description:

 

Following a successful run of Flying Dance & Films presented at the Fox Theater in 2006,

O-T-O Dance decided to assemble a second concert presenting a unique mix of two and three dimensional movement genres. Gracing the stage with strength, agility and beauty will be 12 of Tucson’s most accomplished contemporary dance performers.

“She Should  Know Better”, a quartet created over the last year by choreographer   Charlotte Adams in collaboration with three different casts, began its  initial  creation in Tucson with dancers Kimi Eisele, Amanda Hamp,  Lena Lauer, and  Nicole Stansbury.  After an intense and fruitful period, the rehearsals shifted to dancers at the University of Iowa where Adams is on faculty.   In the meantime Adams was  accepted to a three week choreographer’s  workshop at Dance Theater  Workshop in New York, where she hired four NY  dancers to workshop  and complete the piece which was presented in an informal  concert at  DTW in December 2006. The piece had its Iowa premiere in   February 2007 and has now come full circle back to Tucson to be performed in this concert.  Set to the haunting piano and vocal music of Robert Schumann, the piece in its most recent incarnation, will be performed by Amy Barr, Kimi Eisele, Katie Rutterer, and Nicole Stansbury.

Producer/Director, Jodi Kaplan presents “In The Blood”, a dance film which features the theatrical platform of the boxing ring and the intense movement of fighting. Kaplan brings a choreographic sensibility to this experimental short that explores the “dance” of boxing. “In The Blood” exposes the brute physicality of a sport that pushes its participants to their utmost limits, to the edges of physical force – one that, through its severity, captures the inexplicable will to live.

"Enough" by Sukie Keita is a modern work inspired by Kathryn Dunham with West African and Haitian folkloric influence. The dance signifies an examination of one’s feeling they are not enough to face their life and the world at large on a nearly daily basis.  It's about finding strength in community and the self to move beyond scarcity into abundance. Performing this quintet will be Kimi Eisele, Jennifer Eldred, Cavetta Green, Yarrow King and Sukie Keita, with live percussion by Frederik Malter and additional music and vocals by Mamani Keita, Sukie Keita and Mark Minelli.

Gina Buntz, Director of Dance at Cranbrook in Michigan contributes her dance film, “Let Go”, underwritten by the Florida Arts Council and Created in 2003. This film portrays a fast forward observation of a relationship's beginning, middle and end where the release of, the letting go resonates the strongest within the individual. The film duet, set to a score by Thomas Newman, is performed by Afua Hall, a principal with Philadanco and Demetrius Klein, Artistic Director of Klein Dance of West Palm Beach Florida

O-T-O Dance, Artistic Director Annie Bunker having completed her first full semester of teaching at University of Hawai’i will present three works. The first of two aerial premieres, “Pele’s Breath”, created in collaboration with husband Chuck Koesters is a masterful solo performed with a backdrop of lava flowing out of the Pu’u’O’o vent into the waters of the Pacific ocean on the island of Hawai’i .  Set to music by R. Carlos Nakai and Keola Beamer this dramatic work is homage to the goddess Pele and the belief of her metaphysical reality. In one Hawaiian legend, her people say, when Pele was young the centre of the earth glowed with her loveliness, and she was content for a million years to live in her house in the centre. Until one day, when Pele walked to the edge and met Ocean. Gradually, after several meetings, Pele and Ocean began to know each other, and a fiery love began to glow in her heart. Finally, as Ocean pleaded for Pele to let him into her house of flames, she curled her fingers into the edges of a crack and pulled it wide for him to enter. Ocean fell into her arms. This was the beginning of the marriage of Pele and Ocean. Some say that lava is the offspring of Pele and Ocean. "It is the fire of Pele that makes it red hot, and the water of Ocean that makes it flow like a mighty river."

Bunker’s newest aerial/modern group work is entitled “Contact”. Whether on the ground or in the air the dancers; Aja Kanub, Sukie Keita, Danielle Jones and Annie Bunker seek to touch; sometimes with actual physicality while at other times by an invisible line through space.

Tucson favorite, Film-maker/Composer Chuck Koesters will show his film “Life Under” set to his own musical score. “Life Under” captures the movement of creatures; sea turtles, mantas and various fish species that find their home in the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Visually dramatic, Koesters takes us into another world where light dapples and swirls as the constant pulse of the ocean carries these gentle beings of the deep flying and floating through its currents.

“Points of Origin” by Bunker is a continued exploration of light moving through space with sculptural, dramatic and playful sensibilities. Inspired while pondering a life-long wonder about the speed of light in the universe and how much we actually see, how little we know and how big and simultaneously small everything is at the same time…  Performed to an original score by Laura Lee Coles a founding member of Population of Noise of Vancouver, B.C. “Points of Origin” will feature dancers, Aja Knaub, Danielle Jones and Sukie Keita.

Our performances are audience friendly; all the works are suitable for humans of all ages.  The doors open one half hour before the start of the show.

National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP)

2007 Latino Producers Academy™
August 7 – 17, 2007 Tucson, AZ
Application Deadline – Monday June 11

A NALIP National Signature Program, in association with the UCLA School of Theater, Film and TV Professional Certificate Program and the University of Arizona Department of Media Arts, Univision,  the Rockefeller Foundation, Time Warner, Nielsen Media Research and the Hanson Film Institute

NALIP believes that a Producer is the creative originator of films, a self-starter who recognizes ideas that have creative or commercial merit. Producers must have passion, sensitivity for story and audience, plus the organizational ability and practical smarts to put together a project then guide it to and through the marketplace. NALIP’s Latino Producers Academy™ provides our Fellows the practical skills and knowledge to accomplish their personal goals and realize their artistic dreams as filmmakers.

The 2007 LPA Invites Applications from Narrative Feature Producers in two categories:
• Feature producers (including producer/directors or producer/writers) with projects in early stages of development that have viable scripts ready for packaging and advancement towards production; prior NALIP program participants must have advanced drafts.
• Feature producers and their directors who have scripts in advanced stages of development with or ready to package (e.g. budget, executive summary, attachments, etc.); prior NALIP program participants must have advanced drafts.

The 2007 LPA Invites Applications from Documentary Producers in two categories:
• Documentary producer/directors with projects in development or production who have proposals and sample tapes, are invited with their producer/director partners
• Documentary producers with projects in post-production, who have rough cuts, are invited with their editors.

The 2007 LPA includes hands-on practicum for Producers at all stages of their professional development. Documentaries in post-production will have opportunities to re-cut and score sequences with intensive mentoring on their rough cuts and completion plans. Feature projects with directors will work with crews and casts to rehearse, shoot, cut and score scenes from their upcoming production. Documentary and Feature projects in development will benefit from comprehensive skills development with an opportunity to return with a rough cut or director in a future year.

This program is competitive and highly selective. It is open exclusively to NALIP members, and only to filmmakers with produced work on which they played a key creative role. All Accepted Fellows are invited on full scholarship: materials, lodging, meals and local transportation provided by our supporters, plus honoraria for documentary editors.

Applications are evaluated by a professional panel that considers the viability of each project, the type and quality of your prior work, your creative plans and commitment to a career in producing & media leadership, plus your potential to benefit from the Academy curriculum and opportunity.
