I'm looking for a DP preferably with a RED available for an 18 day shoot in Los Angeles from June 1st to June 25th. The script is a very funny family comedy entitled "Assisted Fishing".
LOGLINE:
A lifelong loser dreams of finding fame and fortune by beating his arch-rival in a big fishing tournament, but in order to win he will need the help of some unlikely heroes - A group of eccentric senior citizens who live in an abusive nursing home.
I'm producing/directing and financing it out of pocket, basically spending every penny I have and then some. I've been fortunate to get some very talented funny actors onboard who are willing to work for no upfront money because they believe in the script.
I'm looking for a DP who would work for far less than he deserves upfront - with a contract for 3% of net profits If and when the movie is sold. Of course, we all realize that could mean very little, but one actor so believed in the script, he turned down a role in Canada that was going to pay him $140,000 to work for $100 a day and points on this project. Another actor so wanted to play one of the senior citizens that he hired his own make-up person to make a mold and build a prosthetic latex old age face. I'm just saying this so any potential DP would at least consider reading the script before saying no. Its the script that convinced them that this project is worthy of the risk.
If I can't find a DP who owns a Red, I have a complete set-up with the 7D and a T2i. I originally intended to just do this thing myself with some friends - but this whole project has been really blessed with actual talent who are encouraging me to go for it- so I felt like it would help the project if I could concentrate on Directing and have a good reliable DP. I would consider someone without a RED that knows the 7D or T2i, but I wouldn't be willing to give 3% of profits - You could use my gear and get 1%.
If interested, please email me at casting@assistedfishing.net and let me see your reel and I will email you a script. We can discuss afterwards.
Thanks
Joe
