Topic: Transforming your good film into great film through the
performances of your actors

Originally from Cleveland she spent more than 10 years working in the
industry in Los Angeles. In Decembers meeting she will discuss ways in
which you can take your "good" film and make it "great" through the
performances of the actors. She will cover what to look for in the
audition process and point out the key signals of a great actor. Then
she will cover what to do to get the best performance possible out of
any cast. Filmmakers have a lot of responsibilities and so much time and
money are spent on the technical side of the process and oftentimes the
actors get the least amount of attention yet the performances,
especially in low budget movies, are the make or break factor. There is
a fine line between cheesy and awesome. 



In addition, Cleveland IndieClub will screen and discusss short films,
scenes, and trailers from:

- 16mm Scratch and Sniff film loop with live-time alterations, a
collaboration between Jerry Mann and Zack Hay 
- Tony Samangy's behind the scene footages for 3:18 (15 mins) 
- The Pain Within by Johnathon Portman (7 mins) 
- Cleveland Classic Cinemas from Nick D'Amico 
- NBTV Pilot Episode (29 mins) 
- Bill Johns' latest feature film Madness scenes 


Raffle for DVDs from your local filmmakers
