Local Victoria motion picture company Frontline Films is working on an HP Lovecraft-inspired horror/sci-fi/action picture set for release around Halloween of 2007. We are seeking talented local performers for main roles, small parts and extras, as well as a possible camera operator. Please read this bulletin in full before responding!

Main roles require 2-3 afternoons or evenings per week of about 4 hours each for 2 months shooting. Will be paid a small fixed sum upon completion of shooting.

Small roles are volunteer positions and require 2-3 afternoons or evenings of rehearsing/shooting (in total) during the entire 2-3 month shooting schedule.

Extras are volunteer positions and will be called as needed for crowd scenes or for smaller scenes requiring costumed extras. These are simple parts that have no lines.

Ethnic background is unimportant for all available parts except German soldiers.

 

IF Camera operator is needed, he/she must be experienced with the Canon XL series of camera (specifically XL-2) and be available 1-2 afternoons/evenings per week for the 3-4 month shooting schedule. Must be available for pre-production meetings to go over storyboards and detailed discussion with director. Must be able to take direction well and not attempt to "take over" the style of the movie, but at the same time able to bring ideas to the table in a diplomatic fashion. Will be paid a small fixed sum upon completion of shooting.

- pre-1947 period automobiles in running condition that can appear in short scenes. Some scenes can be shot at the owner's home inside the car by setting up a black backdrop so no moving the vehicle would be required.

 

Please email info@frontlinefilms.net or email this profile for more information. DO NOT email or contact if your first question is "how much will I get paid". If this is your main concern you will not enjoy working on this picture. This is NOT part-time work. Pay is very very minimal if there is any at all. Our budget is extremely low. Local talent only please. We cannot afford to pay for travel expenses. Please keep this in mind. If you are not doing this for experience or love of the craft this picture is not for you.
