Call Sheet is the Independent Film Association of Southern Arizona's  electric newsletter identifying the Top Ten items of interest to actors and filmmakers in Southern Arizona.

 

1.  Ambiguity.  Humans and Fido Productions is completing shooting of a feature length action and adventure film called Ambiguity that has primarily been shot on location in Guatemala.  The last portion of the film will be shot here in and around Tucson.  They are looking for actors to double roles shot in Guatemala, actors for a sequel to be shot next year, voice over actors, extras, and select members of the US camera team and the US post production team.  If you are interested, send your name, resume and headshot (for actors) to griselw@gmail.com.

 

2.  Almost Famous.  The Almost Famous Film Festival (thea3f.net) has just opened registration for its 10th Annual 48 Hour Film Challenge to be held in February 2014.  Almost Famous is based out of Phoenix, but they make participation from Southern Arizona exceptionally easy. It's one of the most highly regarded 48 hour challenges in the nation.  Go to thea3f.net now for details and for a serious early registration discount.

 

3.  The Importance of Being Earnest.  The Arizona Theatre Company is presenting Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest at the The Temple of Music and Art (330 South Scott).  This is a great opportunity to watch some exceptional theater (or for film directors to check out some of Arizona's best actors). We recommend buying tickets on line, because many of these performances will sell out.  Go to ArizonaTheatre.org

 

4.  $100 for Best Cinema Kiss.   IFASA's Tuesday, November 19 Meeting at Gangplank (19 East Pennington) will feature a Best Cinema Kiss Contest with a $100 cash prize going to the winning couple.  Come with a partner or meet one on set.  Chose your own wardrobe, chose your own make up, chose your own motivation.  We will film all configurations of contestants (with at least 18 years of experience). and will choose the best at the end of the evening.  Oh yes, there will also be a panel of DP's to enlighten us on other things cinematic, and demonstrations of green screen, jibs, lights, and new cameras. Gangplank.  19 East Pennington, November 19 at 7 PM.

 

5.  Tucson Stage.  There is no excuse for not being a member of Tucson Stage.  It is a fantastic website and blog space for film, theater, dance, and the arts.  If you are interested in film or acting, you should be on Tucson Stage's e-mail list that posts auditions, events, and going's on.  It's the best.  And it's free.  It's managed most professionally by Bill Dell -- a man to whom we all owe much. thank you Bill.

 

6.  November 8th is First Friday (9 PM).  If you have never spent a First Friday with Max Cannon (either in the back of his van or in his theatrical venue -- the Loft) those who have done so, recommend it most highly.  After 11 AM on each First Friday, anyone can submit an original film that runs less than 15 minutes.  The Loft plays the first three minutes without interruption, after which the audience decides if the film will go forward or if it will be stopped dead in its tracks by the infamous Gong.  Rules in the back of the van are ad hoc and negotiated by the consenting adults involved.  The Loft.  3233 East Speedway.  A good time on First Fridays or on any other day of the month.

 

 7.  PCC Western Action Adventure.  Pima Community College's Advanced Video Class is shooting an Western Action Adventure (aka, Six Guns, Horses, and Zombies) on November 8, 9, 10, and 11.  This is always a top notch production.  If you are interested in being an extra or if you are interested in sponsoring the production with a hot meal -- contact pima.deadmeat2013@gmail.com   It's a great group of young filmmakers and actors.

 

8.  TPAC Artspace Webinars.  The Tucson Pima Arts Council is presenting an Art Space Webinar on Thursday, November 7 at Noon (100 North Stone Suite ).  It''s a convergence of art, film and the internet.  Check it out.

 

9.  Not The Same Movies.  How many times have you bitched about the big Cineplexes all running the same mainstream movies.  If you want something different -- reward the theaters offering something different.  Try Crossroads Theaters.  4811 East Grant Road.  It's cheap and its good.

 

10.  Run for the Board.  If you want to become more involved in Independent Film in Southern Arizona consider running to be an Officer or Member of the Board of the Independent Film Association of Southern Arizona. The elections will be this years December Meeting.  If you want more information or if you want to put your name in nomination send an e-mail to Anne Dalton at annedalton49@hotmail.com.
