Tucson: Casting Call, 48hour film challenge

Pre-casting for a 48hour film challenge


Reply to: gigs-257351811@craigslist.org
Date: 2007-01-03, 11:28PM MST


I'm going to be doing a film for A3F (Almost Famous Film Festival) and would like to do some pre-casting.

I say 'pre-casting' because due to the context of the competition, I don't really know what I'll be looking for. The '48hour challenge' involves conceiving, writing, and producing a 7 minute film in 48 hours, and since I don't know all of the criteria for the film I'll be doing I can't say exactly what sort of actors I'm looking for. This means that I'll be open to anybody and everybody out there, whether you're experienced or unexperienced, pretty or ugly, liberal or democrat, etc. :-)

You can view some of my films online (including the last film I did for a 48 hour contest) at my website to get an idea of how great a filmmaker I am: www.greenless.com

Let me know.

The shooting will be at some point on Saturday February, 17.

Goal: To raise awareness to stop violence against women and girls and funds for local charities devoted to preventing violence against women and girls

What is V-Day? V-Day is a global movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwright/Founder Eve Ensler’s award-winning play The Vagina Monologues.  In 2006, more than 2700 V-Day events in 1150 communities and colleges took place in the U.S. and around the world.  To date, V-Day has raised over $40 million and educated millions about the issue of violence against women and the efforts to end it, crafted international educational media and PSA campaigns, launched the Karama program in the Middle East, funded over 5000 community-based anti-violence programs, reopened shelters, and funded safe houses in Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt and Iraq.  

The 'V' in V-Day stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina. www.vday.org.

What is the Worldwide Campaign? The V-Day Worldwide Campaign is a catalyst for mobilizing communities to heighten awareness to stop violence against women and girls. Local V-Day organizers around the world use both art and activism to shift traditional attitudes towards women and violence.
Through benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues  that take place between Valentine
’s Day (February 14) and International Women’s Day (March 8), a V-Day event provides a way for diverse, local women, activists and actors to collaborate and express universal ideas and emotions regarding violence against women in their own unique way, tailored to their individual experiences and their specific audiences. The proceeds from these events are donated directly to local organizations in the community that are working to stop this violence.

For Immediate Release

Bisbee's Obscure Productions Second Annual "Eat the Opening"

Many years ago, "Eat the Opening" was a regular event in the Old Bisbee Arts
Community. Last year Bisbee's Obscure Productions brought back the fun, the
edible art and the entertainment for its first fundraiser. They are now
readying their second annual event. Patrons will view, judge and eat edible
artwork on the afternoon of Sunday, January 21, 2007, at the St. John's
Episcopal Church Hall, 19 Sowles Avenue in Old Bisbee.

Artists in three age categories will create the edible art. Local
dignitaries will judge the results, not on taste but on artistic merit.
Prize categories are: Best Kids 8-12, Best Teens 13-19, and for Adults,
Funniest, Most Original and Most Elegant. There will a Silent Auction and
entertainment all evening. Entertainers will include La Luna Tunes and Becky
Reyes.

Entries will be dropped off between 2:00-3:00 pm on the 21st. Viewing begins
at 3:00 pm and "Eat the Opening" at 5:00 pm.

Tickets for adults in advance will be $12 at Atalanta's Music & Books, the
Bisbee Food Coop and Bisbee Visitors Center. Adults will be $15 at the door.
Tickets for kids accompanied by an adult and teens will be
$5 at the door only. Tickets for entrants will be $8.

Bisbee's Obscure Productions is a community theater whose mission is to
provide the widest variety of performance opportunities for the Bisbee
community and to foster liaisons with Bisbee area arts and service groups.
Obscure has no regular home and has performed at Bisbee Woman's Club,
Central School, Bisbee's City Park and Hot Licks Saloon. They have produced
comedy and drama, original material and plays from established playwrights.
In March, Bisbee's Obscure Productions will present Paula Vogel's, "The
Oldest Profession" and in June their own "Aladdin." The funds raised at "Eat
the Opening" will go toward storage and rehearsal space.

Federal nonprofit status under the umbrella of Cochise County Learning
Advisory Council. All contributions are greatly appreciated and tax
deductible.
