We are currently searching for members for an indie film crew (production only) that will consist of both film students and other randoms for our feature film. Here are the positions we are in search of:

Director - This person will be the hardest to choose. A self sense of entitlement is expected.
Director of Photography - This person will need to think that they will be the one actually shooting the film. You must own and provide a DSLR, but it's okay if you don't know what Magic Lantern is. You also won't have to worry about not having a clue what a light meter is.
Camera Operators - These operators will need to be completely unaware of the terminological difference in what a DP does and what the operators do.
Gaffers, ACs, & Grips - These will need to be ambitious people who can help us with what we're doing.
Sound Guys - We're not really sure what what the proper name for sound guys is, but we're looking for different people who can help with it.

Please let us know if you are interested. Unfortunately, we won't be able to pay you. However, we will be able to give you fully endorsed credit on this film, which you probably won't be proud of, as well as cold, leftover pizza and possibly PB&Js. Tell us all about how your experience in college makes you qualified to work on this feature or how badly you've been wanting to work on one and we will get you involved. We want you to lead us to film festival obscurity!

Hope to hear from you soon.

  • Location: Nashville
  • it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
  • Compensation: Bad Food & Unwanted Credit
 
LOL, yeah no need to make one up. Life is better than fiction on Craigslist. 30 seconds in the crew section gave me this: Creative couple looking to collaborate in film, video, photography... (Los Angeles)

Creative couple looking to collaborate, etc. in film, video, photography, arts in general.
We have a home that has been used as location for the above mentioned (see links for more details)
We have also produced shorts and films (see Egle's IMDB) and are looking to expand.
We are serious and professional about what we do, we are NOT looking to 'party' unless there is some form of creativity involved.
If interested feel free to contact.

Egle Baubinas (Lithuanian-born). 5'10" barefoot, blonde, blue eyed. Speak English, Lithuanian some Spanish and some Russian.
Comfortable in swim-wear/lingerie all the way up to and including handling of firearms/shutgun.
Egle's info:

I removed websites

Louie Martinez (LA-born, raised out of US). 5'9". Slight, but educated accent in English. Fluent in Spanish.
Photographer by profession.

While I tend to not be interested in 'guns', the combo of 'guns and lingerie' do... uh... inspire me to greater creative... sort of... heights...

Now, on my stupid yahoo account just the other day there was a story about a woman who 'turned in' a gun she wanted to dispose of to a police 'buyback' event... it just so happened to be a 'collectable', Sturmgewehr 44... one of the few made in the last years of WWII and is the basis of the ever popular Kalishnikov 47...

In combination with 'classic weapon' and 'blonde in lingerie' I think I'd like to contact these people...

I'd have to whittle a StG 44... but that aside...
