DESIDERATUM - A Film By Ben Sliker

Wild poster. Do you have a desideratum to do this film?

I really like your previous stuff, so it'll be nice to see what you bring to the table this time and I'm interested to see what Sid comes up with for the soundtrack.

Alright, someone finally cracked open the dictionary. :) Thanks man, hope we can deliver again. :thumbsup:

Went to the first meeting of the Charlotte Film Community last night. Was a neat experience, met some potential actor/actresses for the short and passed out a lot of business cards for my feature. plug: www.inpiecesfilm.com

Over 100 people were there, nice little networking opportunity. Was going to take some pictures with my blackberry ... but i forgot, so just imagine 100 people mingling in an underground bar, it's like you're there with me. Considering posting audition notices here soon, should be a ... "different" audition ...
 
Look out! He's back!... makes me wanna jump back in too... still debating... I have writer's / funds block. Hmmm...
 
posted casting call today, really excited about meeting some new actors!

Also added crew info for Lee Fries, the cameraman for the project.
 
Lots of fun things have been happening in our little film world.

Have gotten a fairly solid response to our casting call, of course, the most responses have come for the SMALLEST part in the film, but it looks like there's some solid talent out there for the leads as well.

Been working on an important logo that will play a part in the story.

Entered two of my previous films into a local short film fest, we find out if we are in on the 23rd so wish us luck! It was free to enter, but it cost me $60 cause the bastards gave me a parking ticket for the 10 minutes I was there. GRRRR. But, if I do get in, there's cash prizes, so hope I win, it will make this film even more awesome cause I'll blow even more cash on it!
 

someone just threw a shopping cart in the nice pond outside my townhome ... nice...

flipped some equipment today giving me more $$$ for production on this one. thanks to everyone here on DVXuser who bought stuff from me.

Auditions are early tomorrow morning, hopefully we can discover some talent!
 
This looks great - love the poster and sounds like you put lots of thought into the script - can't wait to see how this develops!

no, no, no ... best not to upset the mods ... *cowers in internet fear*

lol. jk, the reason we were rejected was that I was intentionally vague about my story in an effort to not let "the cat out of the bag" as they say. But I just spilled the beans and everything worked out fine.

is this a horror?

no, it's not a horror film, or thriller. In fact, it's completely unlike anything we've done before, which is exciting and nerve racking all at the same time.

After I wrote this, it was amazing how many people that I knew had specific frame of reference for the story and were able to offer advice on emotions of the piece.

Alright, here's the update. I have to choose between two incredibly talented women to play the lead in my film. It's a win-win for me because I believe either would do a great job, but now I have to consider what would be absolutely best for the project.

Life is rough. :)
If this was Puck's thread someone would be suggesting that you make them Jell-O wrestle for the part.

Not me though.... :thumbsup:

Sounds like you're good to go either way.
