Hi everyone, i just received a 50,000 grant to make a faux-noir film. I will use real film not dv. I live in Champaign, IL. I just need people with some experience. I have seen your short films and their are all great. I hope to hear from anyone, ASAP.

Welcome Exit!

$50,000?!?!?! How? Congrats!!!!!

$50,000! Nice. First question - "What's Faux Film Noir" Is that like Memento etc...?

hey exit, I'm from Chicago, I know it's a couple hours away from Champaign, but tell me more about the movie and what kind of positions you ahve available. I'm going to have summer free from May 1 to September 7. Do you go to University of Illinois?

If you are looking for a DP, I'm your man

Shot 16/s16, 35mm, experience with arri/aaton and panavision cameras

But there is also NotaMano


50k for a short or feature?

Hey there exit. I live in Crestwood, IL. It's about 20 minutes south of Chicago. I can do pretty much anything you want me to do for a movie. Act, write, pretty much anything. I've made a bunch of shorts with my production company, SNURB Productions, including two award-winning shorts. I hope I can help. Talk to you soon.
Steve

I sorry I didn't reply back. I just havve been very bussy trying to plan everything down. Thanks to everyone interested in being involved in this project.

Please add some additional infos here. How long would you shoot (script lenght), crew, etc...everything that would be interesting to know for us

whats your movie gonna be about?

Luis147 I was very excited to work with you. I read your email. I liked your work. I will send you a copy of the script. Maybe we can meet and talk about possible actors.

Thanks for choosing me. I can wait to read your script. For what you told me, it looks like it going to be a great summer in phoenix.

First off all this is totally the wrong forum for this post. Secondly, the lack of details makes me a bit skeptical about this one. Also, Luis147 and exit both registered near the same time and have a very similar writing style do they not? Neither has posted on any other topic either. Clear the air a bit exit and lay it down for us - what exactly is this project, in plain english. If people are going to get involved they need to know what this project really is.

Alright them, the film is called the state of being. Mainly about life decision that makes us humans beings. Its kind of a series of stories put together. I am sorry if little Jeff is skeptical about this. I just looking for some help and yes they will get paid in the process. If you want me to send you a copy of the script just email me.

Thank you just wanted some clarification for those folks who may be interested, seemed a little sketchy.

I still working on the schedule, I just finish the possible budget for the film. The film is originally a feature but if budget get tough is will cut into a short. As right now, I think I will shot the feature. Filming is schedule for June-September. I just mainly need actors and assintants, I will place an ad in the newspaper.

mhh interesting but I will be in pre-production for my short at that time good luck though

How are you planning to make a profit on this short film?

No one makes shorts for profit. You make them for festivals, as your calling card, for personal joy...and practice

He said he recieved a $50,000 grant to make a short film... not very many investors give out $50,000 without counting on getting some profit out of it.
