I wonder if Rafael de la Uz of our group might be available for this. You might try contacting him.....world class.

Anyone have a recommendation for an affordable transcription and translation house for dailies?? Eg large quantity – doesn't have to be perfect – but need time code in order to import into Avid. (english and italian/sicilian source – need all english transcipts) Thanks!!

Location can be anywhere really – but prefer to keep the drives in the US if possible.

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a female cinematographer in the West Bank (Palestinian Territories)?

If so please shoot me an email at aronson.melanie at gmail dot com.

Thanks1

And thank you Doug for the welcome. Glad to be here. I will be sure to post something in the Introduce Yourself section.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a new roommate starting 6/1. Location is in Windsor Terrace/Kensington; close to Prospect Park, and on the F/G line at Fort Hamilton Parkway. Please email me at mattieakers@gmail.com if you are interested or know someone who might be. Would be great to share space with another doc person!

Hi Everyone,

I am working with producer Beth Levison on a new documentary at Fork Films. The project is being helmed by Gini Reticker, Abigail Disney and Zainab Salbi. It is an amazing team, and a great company! We are seeing a paid summer intern. Here is the full description, please share!

Thanks!
Kat

Fork Films is a small documentary production company located in the Flatiron district of NYC. We are currently seeking a full or part-time production office intern with fluency in written and spoken Arabic. While fluency in Arabic is preferred we will review resumes from all motivated and enthusiastic candidates.

Fork Films invests in and creates media that make an important social contribution, with a particular emphasis on material that has been overlooked, people who tend to be underestimated, and stories that have been left out of the mainstream historical record. Past films have included the award winning “Pray the Devil Back to Hell” and the groundbreaking series “Women, War & Peace” that aired on PBS in Fall 2011.

Fork Films is now in the early production phases of a feature-length documentary about the Arab uprisings and the role of women in them. Countries in which we intend to work are Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia. We are seeking an intern to work with the director and producers for the summer, and if possible, even beyond to assist with the following:

• Transcription and translation of interviews and archival footage
• Researching archival footage online and through reaching out to contacts via email and phone as necessary
• Logging footage in spreadsheet documents
• Prepping documents needed for production
• Website and social media content development
• General production related errands

Please note this is an office based internship and there will not be on set opportunities.

This is a terrific opportunity for someone seeking work experience in the world of social documentary filmmaking. It is a paid internship and consistent availability at a minimum of 2-3 days per week is preferred.

Please upload your resume and a brief cover letter at: https://sortbox.co/Fork/3lxe

Haven't been here in a LONG TIME. But am stuck and need some suggestions. Anyone know of an NYC based Iranian editor?

Also looking for some production office space. Any suggestions?

Hey Melissa, just to clarify you need an editor who is fluent in Persian?

In reply to Melissa Hibbard's post on Wed 8 May 2013 :

You should probably ask Marj in the professional classifieds or by email :)

Actually I can't think of anyone Melissa. Only in LA.

I'm looking for a good English -> Arabic translator who can supply timecoded translations, ideally as .stl files – any suggestions?

In reply to Kat Vecchio's post on Wed 8 May 2013 :

Yes Persian... Frustrating.

In reply to Mike Paterson's post on Fri 10 May 2013 :

In reply to Beth Levison's post on Mon 4 Mar 2013 : Hi Beth! Did you find your fixer for Tunisia? If not, let me know- I have some Tunisians friends who might be able to help + I know Tunisians (19 years old)- who were high school students during the revolution and very involved. Also would be interested in working with you on this if you are still in production (see my profile- having worked in Morocco)
