Comedy isn't for everyone and working on tiny shoe-string budgets is not always ideal. But if the alternative is to not make something funny with a lot of heart then the show must go on.
We are currently putting together a production team and securing locations for a small 2 day short film. Looking to bring resourceful cinematographer who has an interest in capturing a visually rich story utilizing framing and pre-planning strategies. Think ''The Graduate'', visually, but on a much smaller scale. Everyone on board has a can do attitude and hopefully that's you as well.
This is a fast-paced 5 page comedy, revolving around a neurotic protagonist who can't go to sleep! When they do go to sleep it's temporary so they live their life in a zombie sleepwalking state but with some slapstick comedy. It's less dialogue based and more visual to convey the comedy of operating on no sleep. Our past short films have been featured in previous film festivals but due to the quirky nature of the story, minimal dialogue and universal relatability to insomnia we're hoping to land in bigger festivals and/or have a bigger internet presence.
We're in the process of assembling a crew with casting to follow at the end of next month. I'm looking for a cinematographer that has their own camera or access to one and wants to add a strikingly visual film to their resume.
It's a bold comedy so we need a bold cinematographer who is up for the challenge. Unless our producer can ''find money'' there isn't any money to pay but maybe a dark funny short film would be considered an achievement. Everyone is donating time, equipment and themselves to make this festival bound short a reality. If you have access to any locations or anything please let us know in your message.
Take a few minutes to Let us know why a challenge like this might interest you and what you can bring to this project. We're more interested in ability to help over experience as well as ability to read the entirety of this post. Reference: ECNJOBID-66-249-70-103 in the application
