2006 Boston 48 Hour Film Competition April 07-09 weekend, I'm NOMO Team Casting and Dramatic Director.

This is a fully pro team, left coast Exec Producer, local Boston Producer, whole lotta Directors including Noah Lydiard of Lunchpail Productions as Creative Director, full editing team. Non-paid gig, it's a competition. But we're really using this shoot as a team-building warm-up for a 2006 October Sundance entry. Most competitors around the country are amateur or semi-pro producing shlock. Last year I was the only one here with SAG actors, Ford models, New England's most admired firedancer in full-body-paint red devil persona, professional bellydancer in the Mythic Dance Chorus, child actress whom I personally wrangled, hot Polish director specializing in micro-features with astounding color in her portfolio before she came on board. And Noah's work was a sensitive, naturalistic foreign language film dialogued entirely in Russian.

My last year's composer, chosen over graduated pros, was a Berklee prodigy full of props from out of town directors on the composer's site before chosen by me; now the composer is in Hollywood assisting the composer of both The West Wing and Law & Order.

Last year, for writers, used national slam poets & others, drew on the Harvard Storytelling Workshop.

Pro or ready is OK, I audition everyone, first with concentrated 3-5 min phone audition following my e-mailing an audition kit to you for your specialty, then in person.

Must not expect to sleep from 6P Friday to 10P Sunday.

Looking for intense, quick-emotion changing Principal and Supporting actors, mainly highly good-looking, or unforgettable character players.
