[NEohioPAL]steve probert student film

[Steve Probert]

hello again!

My name is Steven Probert and I am currently a fifth year student at the 
Cleveland Institute of Art and I am working on my final thesis film based on 
several of my own dreams.

I would like to thank those that helped thoughout this project and those 
those that have responded to previous postings.  I have been able to find 
great actors through neopal, yet I still need to find a few more male actors 
to complete the project.

to recap, this current project that I am working on is easily the largest 
personal project I’ve ever worked on in terms of time, personal, and 
professional involvement and I am looking forward to the final results. The 
project will be a final film consisting of re-constructions of several of my 
dreams. There are 7 small vignettes/dreams that I am planning to reconstruct 
and film.  Each has about 1-5 different actors.  Most of these deal with 
reconstructing the situations in my dreams at various locations ranging from 
my apartment to my childhood home and with actors playing family members and 
friends. The final film will be presented in a visual art context as i am 
graduating this year with a Bachelor of fine arts degree

The actors that I am looking for are:

Caucasian 40-50 year male to play father

Caucasian 30-40 year male to play greenburg’s friend
Caucasian 50-60 year male to play dr. greenburg

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Steve Probert

6. Greenburg’s Friend
Actors:

3. Greenburg: 30-40 man
Action Synopsis: Protagonist awakened from bed by a knock at the door.  He 
answers the door and it is a friend of Dr. Greenburg who is sharing the 
apartment with him.  Greenburg’s friend enters the door and walks further 
into the room.  He is standing in front of the bed and asks if Greenburg is 
there.  He takes out a small gun looking object and aims it at the ceiling.  
The ceiling begins to swell and drip with water and everything in the room 
starts getting wet.  Protagonist scrambles to protect his things from 
getting wet and Greenburg’s friend wont stop laughing.  He asks to see 
Greenburg and walks around to the kitchen.  Protagonist and Greenburg’s 
friend are standing in the kitchen and Greenburg walks into the room 
completely naked and greets his friend.  Greenburg and his friend enjoy a 
laugh at the destruction of protagonist’s belongings and he urges his friend 
to take off his clothes so that he can be more comfortable and he agrees.  
Greenburg invites his friend to see his lavishly remodeled room.  They both 
walk into the living room from the kitchen and protagonist follows.  The 
door to Greenburg’s room is positioned above protagonist’s couch as if to 
use it as a stair or porch.  Greenburg opens the door and the three of them 
stand in an awkward silence.  Through the doorway an expansive and lavish 
room can be seen.

is excited by the images.  They turn around and notice that several people 
are lying on the floor in sleeping bags.  On their heads, they have wires 
that are connecting them to the projectors and displaying their dreams.  The 
father is excited about the possibility of seeing his own dreams projected 
and they lay down on the floor together in sleeping bags.
