ALABAMA
1. Fort Maxwell Corporate Video Casting
Shoot Date:Sunday May 20th
Location: Montgomery, AL Regional airport, and Maxwell AFB also
in Montgomery, AL
Casting Decisions will be done, by Headshot, Acting Resume, and
Demos online. (This is a Great Direct book for any talent)
African American / Military family: Full Days -(Must Work local,
No Travel pay)
Male USMC Gunnery Sergeant type (Late 30's ish)- He is coming
back from his final deployment and completing and retiring from
his military career. ( 2 day shoot)
The Script plays out with the scenes of always deploying in the
flashback.
He either has to be ex military or ready to act it and pull it
off real well. No strenuous activity as are in other scenes of
the script. They all just need to pull off this role of a life
being affected by this constant deployment over the years.
Most importantly, they have to be able to act genuinely excited
and elated to be reunited for good in the main scene at the
airport.
Rate: $150.00 per day
1 day Shoot- Talent Needed-
His wife- $150.00 Per day- mid to late 30's
7 year old daughter (ideal child who can be 10 but hopefully look
and play like 7) rate-$100.00
Infant or Toddler – Rate-100.00
Project Notes:
It would be perfectly fine if the daughter was this actor's
actual daughter. Even better if all three are an actual family.
Reason being referencing the script I need to have their airport
scene feel very real. Like the little girl needs to be able to
act convincingly that this is her father. Also would be great if
this family had another little girl that was either an infant or
a few years younger to play the role of the same daughter at a
younger age. One more thing that would be important is that if
there was to be any kind of background check as far as
clearances, that these folks have no prior background issues.
Project Description-
This is a non broadcast piece that will be used on the DANTES
website, will probably be on youtube, and used for DANTES live
presentations. It is a cinematic style commercial looking piece.
And part of a 15 minute inspirational type of video. Initially it
is not to be used for these actors promotional reels, however it
will eventually live in the public domain wherein that will be
fine. But up front I do need to stress to everyone involved cast
and crew wise that this is not for any self promotional use being
it is government/military based, etc.

CALIFORNIA
1. Pixomondo is currently recruiting for the Los Angeles office where we would like to welcome anyone with the right experience to work and train artists in a fresh environment on exceptional television productions.
Requirements of the company:
Good judgment.
You are a thinker. You plan ahead, look for the best option and the quickest solution, but not at the detriment of the show, the schedule or the budget. You make suggestions, and listen to the same.
Creativity and Curiosity.
You're smart, but flexible. You're open to considering the other perspective, and sometimes you have the responsibility to come up with it. You don't just "do your thing". You're interested in how other people are doing "their things" too, and how all of those "things" can be done better.
Selflessness.
You understand that the people you work with are as important as you are, and believe that what's good for the company, and good for the project, are likely what's good for you too. You listen to what other people are saying, and understand it. And you communicate well with others in writing and in person because you know you're not alone.
Courage, Passion, and Honesty.
You don't do something wrong because you "were told to", and aren't afraid to speak up respectfully when it's important. We want everything to be the best it can be, and you do too. You take risks and responsibility in proportional measure, and you're reliable. When you say it'll be done, it gets done; and when you said it would.
Job Qualifications:
4+ years of experience in visual effects.
Demo reel that shows strong artistic skills including a strong sense of color, lighting, perspective, scale, and composition.
Traditional art portfolio demonstrating traditional art skills is a plus.
Expert knowledge of Nuke (3+ years) is required.

1. I am a writer seeking a filmmaker to collaborate on making a documentary about the tragedy of newborn babies so often found dead in the United States – every 4 days according to my research – found in public toilets, trash bins and the woods. I am planning a film that will go deeper than the rhetoric of “pro choice” and “pro life” campaigns, explore the facts of unwanted children, and propose simple solutions to preventing unintended pregnancy, making abortion almost unnecessary. This will not so much be a political film but a spiritual film to focus on the hope that can emerge for wanted children and for redefining “life” and “choice” in a meaningful, peaceful way.
Paid. Grants being sought.
I am preparing a grant proposal to fund the film’s expenses and I’m looking for a filmmaker with the artistic eye to complement my arts as a poet and journalist.

3. A short film drama produced through NMFR.
Psyche – Female (18-28). Beauty comparable to Aphrodite – but must have a visible flaw – human, not a god. Naïve and vain. Curious about her husband Eros: What does he look like? What does he do? Who is his mother? She is madly in love and obedient to him at first. She suffers; she gains power over the divine, and liberates herself. Psyche needs and births a female child with Eros.
Aphrodite – Female (20-45). Italian with classical features. Flawless marble model like. A plotter behind whose smile lies an ill will. Despises the notion of becoming a mother-in-law, but acceptable if the child is male. Dotes on her son Eros, whose gold-tipped arrows can prick gods, too. Her smile melts even Zeus, but it never lasts for long. Loves mirrors; hates Psyche. Aphrodite tolerates mortals when she manipulates them. She needs power, worship, and never forgets.
Eros – Male (18-28). Supple, delightful body, moves as a dancer. A boy emotionally, first time in love, still tied to Mom, obedient to her. The cruel joker – aims his lead-tipped arrows at unlikely pairs to provoke the chaos of unrelenting passion. His gold-tipped arrows of compassion he reserves for a lucky few. Love’s a toy for him – until Psyche. Eros needs and discovers mature love.
Persephone – Female (30-45). Rules beauty and life that erupts in the spring and dies in winter. She is the Underworld co-conspirator of Aphrodite, but Persephone has some sympathy for Psyche – both are lost souls. Physically, she has polar features to Aphrodite and commands death as well as life.
Pan – Male (40-50). A musician, mischief maker, wry humor, comic. Earth god. Pile of decaying flesh/soil between this world and the Underworld. Understands that Psyche is sick with love and stuck between human and heaven – that she will become divine, give birth, and thwart Aphrodite.
Caroline (Female 30-50) & Coraline (Female 30-50). Psyche’s two older sisters. Vague of gender and age. Hard to tell them apart. Ugly in soul and envious of Psyche – shadow aspects of her.
Fate #1 Female (30-60), Fate #2 Female (30-60), Fate #3 Female (30-60)

3. “Running in Place”
As she watches her parents’ marriage explode, a precocious ten year-old finds herself in a standoff with her father. Is this family big enough for both of them?
Vanessa Bradchulis is casting the short film “Running in Place” written and directed by Robin Pohlman in association with Grand Café Media. The film will be shot in Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, VA on May 12-13 and 19-20, 2012. Meals and hotel accommodation will be provided. All roles are PAID.
Roles:
BILL DAWSON (40's) Bill is alternately tender and explosive. He loves his family deeply and needs their love and acceptance in return. He feels sure that he knows the right way to care for them, and any questioning of his methods is perceived as an attack on his character. Practicing a fundamentalist brand of Christianity soothes his personal insecurities.
JIMMY DAWSON (18-25) Jimmy is a low-functioning autistic mute. His obsessive compulsive tendencies compel him to tear apart shoes and clothes—a great source of stress to his parents. He is fascinated by symmetry, patterns, and colors and is very affectionate despite his handicaps, especially toward Abbie.
Auditions will be held Sunday, April 22 at American University (4400 Massachusetts Avenue, Washington DC).
Union and non-union actors may audition.
Please contact Vanessa Bradchulis at vanbradcasting@gmail.com to request a time slot and receive sides. Please include headshot and resume and state in your email three time slot preferences, the role for which you are auditioning and any conflicts you have on the weekends mentioned above.
