Call for Dance for Camera Film Production

Hi everyone,

My wife and I are gearing up for an upcoming Dance for Camera production.  This will be a medium length project (we aim at around 50 minutes) to be presented to Film Festivals as well as Dance for Camera Festivals.

If you are not familiar with the concept, please see these as reference: DV8 – Cost of Living and Mitchell Rose

Location: Champaign-Urbana

Estimated Production Schedule: Flexible, principal photography to start in September/October and end tentatively in December.  Most shooting will take place early in the morning (for the outdoors) when traffic is at its lowest.  Detailed scheduled will be discussed with all participants in the projects to fit everyone’s schedule to the best of our ability.

We are looking to collaborate with the following:

Talent:

Extras: Dancers, Actors – no restrictions (such as experience, age, gender, etc.)

Musicians: If you would like to appear in a project such as our, please contact us for details.

Composers:  We need someone – or a team – to lead the creation of our score.  Think Art of Noise, meets Gabrielle Roth.

Crew:

1st AD, Script Supervisor +
Camera Crew: 1st AC, Steadycam (or equivalent) owner/operator
Lighting Crew: Gaffer
Sound Crew: Boom Operator

The project is for SCREEN CREDIT ONLY.  We have a good concept (we think) and you are welcome to discuss it with us prior to committing to our project.  We will also contractually guarantee that the participants’ names will be on every single distributed material – such as flayers, postcards, web presence, online trailers, etc. – unless you choose to opt-out.

Evidently, if you would like to be involved in a different capacity – such as fundraiser, marketing, etc. – we welcome you with open arms.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  If you have no prior experience as a crew member please do not shy away.  I will provide training – and it is the least I can do considering your willingness to help and our inability to provide pay.

Please find below a link to a temporary Bio page of myself:

My wife is a Dancer/Choreographer with a vast experience in her field.  She is currently teaching at the Dance Dept. (UI), while also taking classes.  The project is a Masters Thesis project, but will be independently produced and entered in various festivals.

What we can guarantee is that this will be fun and intense.

Please share this announcement with whomever you may think would be interested.  Your support is greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to meeting and collaborating with you.
Bogdan Heretoiu
