The audition location is Art Fare, Studio B (on the 3rd floor), 55 N. 6th Ave. (just north of Congress, across from the Ronstadt Center bus stop).
There is no pay for this project. Sorry. However, it is an opportunity to work with experienced filmmakers on a project to benefit the community. The film will also be submitted for film festivals and could also be used by other 88-Crime programs elsewhere.
The director of the film is Dick Fisher, director of the award-winning short film Incident at Alma, which won Best Picture at the Phoenix Black Film Festival, and producer of the breakthrough independent film The Brothers McMullen, which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and Independent Spirit Award for Best Feature Film. Dick’s career in film and television has spanned over 25 years. Dick is on the board of the Arizona Production Association.
The producer of the film is Brian McLaughlin, who has produced five feature films, including Red 71, and eight short films, including Alma, which has won various awards including Best Narrative Film at the University Film and Video Association Conference. He has also acted in over 50 films under the stage name Brian Mulligan. Brian is on the board of the Independent Film Association of Southern Arizona.
