This comes to us from Paige Kane:
Hello,
I am writing to ask you if you would like to join me in working on a film project. And, to also ask if you know of someone that would be interested in working on a film project?
The Newport Film Salon is gearing up to produce its next short film project, an adaptation of this year’s winning screenplay “Saving Place.” The story revolves around three grown children who must decide on how to divide family property following the unexpected death of their mother.
The Newport Film Salon (NFS) is a non-profit organization created to help produce independent films in and around Newport, RI. The idea is to establish a common ground where those with diverse skills and interests can meet, network and collaborate on the art of filmmaking – even if you have nothing more than a good attitude and a desire to learn! If you would like to learn more about the salon - you can check it out at www.newportfilmsalon.org
We are looking to fill some key roles as well as a few secondary roles. We would also like to invite anyone who is just starting out in production and would like to learn more. We are asking ask that a few of the people assigned to key production roles - also fill the role of mentor. These mentors will then be paired with a “student” that will be by their side - mostly to help but also to learn.
This year's production is a short film - that will be shot on digital video, on location in Newport, RI over a period of 3 or 4 weekends and/or weeknights. We plan to begin shooting in late-September through October.
Below I have listed a number of Production Roles that we will need to filled ASAP. Please let me know if you are interested in ANY capacity or if you know someone that may be interested. Also, Please feel free to pass this email along, on my behalf. And, because this is a non-profit organization - it is assumed that you would be offering your services voluntarily.
Please contact me directly by email or cell if you are interested and available in participating in this project. I will then put you in touch with the Producer of the film, Dorria Marsh. I will not assume any roles are "officially filled" unless we have spoken.
Thank you for your time and interest and I look forward to hearing from you!
Paige Kane, NFS
