by B.R. Tatalovic, producer via NEohioPAL 22 Mar '17

22 Mar '17

Audition for Student Film and Video Projects – SPRING 2017 When: Friday, March 24, from 9:15am to 1:15pm Where: Tri-C Campus in Parma, Ohio (11000 W Pleasant Valley Rd, park in "visitor"; walk to middle-building/galleria; look for room G107, next to campus police); If lost - call 440-783-2405 <(440)%20783-2405>. Cuyahoga Community College's beginner level film and video students are creating several short projects (experimental videos, music videos, commercials, short docs, and super short narrative films), and need local talent. This is an "Intro to Filmmaking" class, taught by Prof. Bruno Tatalovic. Several students who completed this course in previous years – are now established local film artists, videographers, and indie film producers. This type of collaboration is perfect for beginner level actors who need more footage for their first demo-reel. Each of these projects feature 1-2 actors only, and gives you a lot of screen time and dialogue or monologue lines. These are unpaid (volunteer / collaborate) productions. Get your first credit, your acting demo, and establish new relationships with like-minded content creators. Also, if you have NO screen acting experience, but you truly BELIEVE that you have what it takes - COME and try out! These projects are 1 day (half a day) productions, sometimes in April (based on actors' availability). It's a “walk-in” audition (cold read or short personal monologue - if desired). If you wish to attend this audition, just click GOING, come, and bring the following: -- 8x10 headshot or any decent picture of yourself; -- acting resume (even if it’s very minimal); -- if you don’t have a resume, make sure to have personal contact info (or business card); HEADSHOT PHOTO SPECIAL OFFER: Beachwood based Discovery Photo studio (operated by photographer Scott T. Morrison) is giving special discount coupon to all who attend student audition – HALF-PRICE HEADSHOTS ! Come to audition to get your special offer coupon, and meet Cleveland’s “movie photographer” Scott in person. Feel free to invite your actor friends. Join us! Only actors who ATTEND this audition in person will be considered. If students don't find appropriate talent at this audition - they might consider additional talent (but the preference will be given to those who show up). SAG-AFTRA members are welcome, but they must prepare and coordinate union paperwork themselves. The beginner level students are not fully prepared (at this level) to handle advanced professional level producing duties, such as union contracts. Plus, the union requires paperwork well in advance. MINORS: if you're under 18 years of age, your parent must give you permission to audition and act. Bring your parent, or have him/her sign a form - giving you permission. ACTORS-WRITERS: If you are screenwriter-actor, or if you have an amazing location that student can use - feel free to pitch your own idea or short script, BUT it must follow our educational rules and guidelines. Stop by, and chat with students. MUSICIANS: want to make an entry-level music video? Come and pitch your original song! SAMPLE PROJECTS (see former students' work): -- SHORT FILMS: “3-2-1 Short Film Projects” are beginner level film productions featuring 3 pages of scripted narrative, 2 actors, and shot on 1 location only. See samples on Vimeo (link below). https://vimeo.com/album/3233443 -- SHORT VIDEOS: 30 second ads, PSAs, and more… Click on Vimeo link below... https://vimeo.com/album/3215203 <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2Falbum%2F3215203&h=…> -- Event's Facebook page (if you have questions, post it on our Facebook page; don't reply to this email) https://www.facebook.com/events/1894948360763337/ THANKS !

Gripping Live Music Concerts this Week
by Malina Rauschenfels via NEohioPAL 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

On the Brink of Insanity: Portrayals of Women as Crazy, Mad, and Unhinged Dramatic musical works often contain scenes of overwhelming emotion in which male characters are frequently portrayed as being consumed by power. When women are overcome with emotion, however, male composers often attribute madness or craziness to them. Burning River Baroque will present a selection of works by George Frideric Handel, John Eccles, and Henry Purcell where women’s passions and emotional expressions render them as unhinged in the eyes of their creators. In a new move for the ensemble, the program will feature an original work by Malina Rauschenfels using texts from the Salem witch trial of Bridget Bishop. This fusion of new and old works will shed light on how the ways we describe those who are different from us can have very real and long-lasting effects on the community at large. more info at: https://www.burning-river-baroque.org/concerts Wednesday, March 22, 2017 ~ noon BrownBag Concerts at Music and Art at Trinity Cathedral Women in Music: Love, Rage and Inspiration 2230 Euclid Ave Cleveland, OH 44115 freewill offering Wednesday, March 22, 2017 ~ 7:30 pm Lakewood Presbyterian Church, chapel 14502 Detroit Ave Lakewood, OH 44107 $10-$20 suggested donation Thursday, March 23, 2017 ~ 6:30 pm Stone Oven 2267 Lee Road Cleveland Hts, OH 44118 come for great food & drink, donation gratefully accepted
