to audition as an actor you HAVE to pay $4 per role submitted through
screeetest.biz, they arent going through agencies or open calls...
 
i've been debating whether i should or should not on principle vs. playing
to the market.

I'm not sure at this point but check out the Cleveland Film Commission's
website www.clevelandfilm.com. They will post info about auditions and crew
calls as they become available.

Three Films to Begin Production in Northeast Ohio in Spring 2010
 
CLEVELAND – The State of Ohio has approved the applications for three
projects to be filmed in Northeast Ohio using the Film Tax Credit. 
 
The three projects to be filmed in Northeast Ohio are independent films
produced by New York and Cleveland-based Nehst Studios. The films receiving
tax credits are “The Kid Who Only Hit Homers,” a movie based on a set of
popular children’s books; the horror sequel “Strangeland 2”; and a Vivica A.
Fox project called “Cleopatra Smiles.” The films will all begin
pre-production in the next 90 days. A fourth film receiving tax credits –
“Unstoppable,” a big budget blockbuster from Twentieth Century starring
Denzel Washington – was filmed throughout eastern Ohio in November and
December. 
 
“This is an incredible day for film production in Cleveland,” said Ivan
Schwarz, Executive Director of the Greater Cleveland Film Commission. “Not
only will they employ members of our local film community and bring a boost
to the economy, but it shows that the state is recognized as an ideal
location for film production. The film tax credit is a real game changer for
making great films in Ohio.”
 
The three projects filming in Northeast Ohio have combined budgets of $15
million and are expected to employ 394 cast and crewmembers and nearly 1,200
paid extras and bring more than $22.5 million to the community. Film
production has a high economic output multiplier with a good portion of
every film budget spent purchasing goods and services from local vendors of
such things as lumber, paint, rental cars and hotels. A dollar spent in film
production generates more statewide economic activity than the same dollar
spent in three-quarters of other industries. 
 
“The Greater Cleveland Film Commission has been instrumental in bringing
these productions to the Cleveland area,” said Jeremy Henthorn, the director
of the Ohio Film Office. “The communication between the Ohio Film Office and
the Cleveland Film Commission is very active and we look forward to working
with the commission more often as film projects increase in the state due to
the recently passed film tax credit.”
 
The Film Tax Credit was included in the state’s biennial budget which was
passed by the Ohio General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Ted
Strickland in July. The budget bill allocated $10 million in Fiscal Year
2010 and $20 million in Fiscal Year 2011 to provide tax credits to film,
television and other media productions in Ohio. 
 
Nehst Studios, a New York and Cleveland-based independent film and
television production, financing and distribution company, opened a film
studio in the downtown Cleveland Convention Center in 2009. The Greater
Cleveland Film Commission has worked closely with Nehst Studios during the
studio relocation and tax credit application processes. Inquiries about
employment positions must go directly to Nehst Studios at info at nehst.com.
