Exile Movies and TSL Productions are looking for extras for the feature film "smalltown" Looking for women 18 - 50, all types, for walk-on roles in the film smalltown. This is not your typical walk-on part. You will be heavily featured in the film and may be asked to say a line, beat somebody up, flirt with the camera or have a dramatic death scene. You will be playing a prostitute and should feel comfortable wearing the appropriate costume. This is for an independent film and is not exploitative. (In other words, although the film deals with sensitive matters, this is a very safe and comfortable working environment and you will be treated with respect and not asked to do anything that makes you remotely uncomfortable). The scenes will be shot on Sunday April 17th and Monday April 18th. Women are needed for either, or preferably, both days. Also looking for men 35 -55. And young men 18 - 35 to play crackheads. This is unpaid other than copy, credit and food. It will be good fun. This is an RIFC affiliated production |
FirstWorks announces: PIXILERATIONS [v.8] Call For Works Deadline extended to April 19th! new media fringe festival @ FirstWorks September 22-October 2, 2011
in Providence, Rhode Island
PIXILERATIONS [v.8] is a new media festival in Providence, Rhode Island (USA) that investigates the state of new media arts through installations, performances and film/video screenings. It is part of the larger FirstWorks Festival, a multidimensional performing arts festival in Providence each fall. Pixilerations is produced by FirstWorks in collaboration with the Rhode Island School of Design(RISD), Brown University, and the City of Providence's Department of Art, Culture + Tourism. Now in its eighth year, Pixilerations is one of the foremost venues for new media artwork in New England.
SUBMISSIONS WILL NOW BE ACCEPTED THROUGH TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 2011
PIXILERATIONS [v.8] In an era of Facebook/Twitter-inflamed revolutions, biotechnology ethics wars, and YouTube-generated museum exhibitions, this year's festival seeks to examine the question "Where - and what - is New Media Art today?" New Media art traditionally held a role at the intersections of art, science, technology and social realms, yet artists who do not identify as New Media artists now make free use of the same tools as video game programmers, robotics engineers, and DJs. Pixilerations [v.8] seeks work that broadly explores these identity questions of art/not art, new/old. We invite artists, musicians, performers, film/video makers, and new media practitioners to submit work.
HOW TO APPLY:
To submit work, please .

pixilerations@first-works.orgfollow this link (Note: you must start and finish this submission form in one session, it is not possible to save your work and return later)

Price: $209
Description This course addresses the question, "How do I give an exceptional audition?" Get the call back, book the job - or just learn to work the camera like a pro. Practice and insightful coaching are the keys to improving your ability to work with the camera, and your comfort with it. Carolyn Pickman brings actual audition material from television commercials, corporate videos, and film scripts. Participants will be videotaped in a mock audition setting at each class. Students will review the videos and learn to prepare, and adjust their performances for the camera, take direction, and learn tricks of the trade - both in auditioning successfully, and in effectively conveying character and presence through the lens of the camera. Carolyn walks you through auditioning step-by-step, pointing out the pitfalls to avoid and giving an insider's view on what industry pros look for. Students are welcome to repeat this course - different material is always added.
