Audition for: Students' Film and Video Productions Casting Call held: Friday, Oct 25, from 9:15am to 12:30pm Where: Tri-C Campus, 11000 W Pleasant Valley Rd, Parma, OH 44130 An AUDITION (open to all) for film students' projects at Cuyahoga Comm. College (all to be shot in October and November). The student teams will make various short projects (see below). There are 3-4 different teams, so we need several actors. You can try out for one of these below, or ALL projects: -- “DOCUMENTARY INTERVIEW”: for documentary style INTERVIEW, you (ACTOR or ARTIST of any kind) will be interviewed about your work and career (the questions will be submitted in advance to those who are selected at the audition). If interested to be interviewed, you must attend our audition and introduce yourself and your creative work. An interview-shooting day is in late October or early November. Later, you can use this video for your personal sites and publicity. -- “DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE”: for this project, selected actors will prepare dramatic monologue or performance. Prepare a 1-2 minutes monologue (must be original written content or public domain story) and attend our audition. Those who are selected will be informed the same day, and the shooting day is within 2 weeks of audition -- SHORT FILM or MUSIC VIDEO: you will audition for a LEAD ROLE in student-produced films or music videos. At the audition, you will read from our scripts (cold read), and you can also prepare a very short monologue. If you’re a recording artist, feel free to perform your song. The short film or music video shoots are scheduled for mid-November. __________________________________ These projects will be produced by Cuyahoga Community College's beginner level film students (an "Intro to Filmmaking" class). Several students who completed this course in previous years – are now proud graduates of Tri-C, and newly established Cleveland film artists, videographers, and crew members on big union films shot in Ohio! They all started in this class. WHERE: Tri-C Campus in Parma, Ohio (park in "visitor"; walk to central campus area); If lost, ask police officers in hallways to show you G107 room. WHO SHOULD COME: This type of collaboration is perfect for beginner (or intermediate) level actors who need more footage for their first demo-reel. By having a Demo Reel, you will be able to seek industry representation (agent). ABOUT PROJECTS: each of these projects give you a lot of screen time and dialogue or monologue lines. They are all LEAD roles. These are unpaid (collaboration) gigs. Get your first credit, your demo footage, 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! TIMELINE: These projects are 1-day (half a day) shoots. The work must be fully edited by early December. The videos will be available online when completed and you can ask students for HD download copy. AUDITION: It's a “walk-in” audition (cold read from our scripts or short personal monologue - if desired). If you wish to attend, just click GOING above, come, and bring the following: -- headshot or any decent picture of yourself (any size); -- acting resume (even if it’s very minimal); -- no resume: have personal contact info (or business card); RECEIVE NEW HEADSHOT DISCOUNT: Beachwood based Discovery Photo studio (operated by photographer Scott T. Morrison) is giving special discount coupon to all who attend this audition in person. HALF PRICE HEADSHOTS! Come to audition and get your special offer coupon from an award winning photographer. INVITE your actor friends. Join us! Only actors who ATTEND this audition in person will be considered for our projects. 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 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 give you WRITTEN permission. ACTORS-WRITERS: If you are screenwriter-actor, feel free to pitch your own idea or short script, BUT it must follow our educational content rules and guidelines (see sample projects below, to get an idea). Or stop by, and chat with us. MUSICIANS: want to make an entry-level music video? Come and pitch your original song (must be available online)! __________________ LINKS to SAMPLE PROJECTS — DRAMATIC MONOLOGUES: 2-minute monologue about certain subject (scripted, rehearsed, shot in our studio) https://vimeo.com/album/3215203/video/193532716 <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2Falbum%2F3215203%2Fvideo%2F193532716%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2Mt5TH4P73Z7JYaDYwD8T9n9i7BA3Nje8ahDoCbXdIZny5SXR6cYGixh8&h=AT3HQqiHSbxr0qi-sFckucLk8wWpK65dK5w6Pyk0FfyOj91lSrZwNDaSOjCrzoGxv_kVOkMjVl62SdloNIWTdb8qSHdlQdvkTtTah8IlxSYKf62DViuSB64yE9uVRSjHJw> https://vimeo.com/album/3215203/video/215195941 <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2Falbum%2F3215203%2Fvideo%2F215195941%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1NLuyJFSQMjXPsgaI3_0mLLtDHmPLwd9kzBfavEgh8fA5eF373gO7Se-U&h=AT22pZY5u81XGoLUDo7U9yZmzpJ1odnAw-h2r6VSQIDxIzXupy-yNPtj9WdRUqX3i0hbc4HMVOdXs0KG8Athuxn8ayhLXYTlKnW3xzVxUy20BA9NEegqTeshZNNc6uEKrQ> — MUSIC VIDEOS: featuring local recording artists and actors (shot on location or in studio); click on links… https://vimeo.com/album/5097484 <https://vimeo.com/album/5097484?fbclid=IwAR0hFGN_0gFHVYwewViFkBmzpX13k5VxXd-lyRFxMJWBK2T7YPR9UMxf6V8> — SHORT FILMS: or so called “3-2-1 Short Films” (3 pages of scripted narrative, 2 actors, and shot on 1 location only in 1 day).
