Public Classifieds and Announcements - Get The (D-)Word Out!

Hey there, everybody! I am a third-year cinema student and am looking for a summer job/internship. Really, I am looking for an experience that will help me move further down the path to becoming a documentary filmmaker. I have no money, so I can't buy gear and make my own stuff yet, but I have a lot of experience with professional, prosumer, and consumer HD cameras as well as Super 8mm and 16mm. I am proficient at FCP 7 and have experience in Premier Pro, Photoshop, After Effects, and FCP X (though I hate FCP X) and am learning Avid. I have an experimental background but am in a very mainstream commercial position at my university right now, so I have experience on both sides of the spectrum. I work very well with others but also by my self. Does anyone need an extra hand or brain this summer? even if you're traveling and need someone to take care/keep track of your equipment I would be down for that (I just need the experience of being involved with a professional production so I feel more sure of the whole process when I start my own next year)

Anyway, I hope everybody is having a great day. If any of you are interested, contact me at K[dot]R[dot]Hallagan [at]Gmail[dot]com

I'm very ashamed to do this again. We will sadly not be having a sale this Saturday after all. It has been an issue getting access to the office where the gear is being held and I feel as jerked around as many of you probably do.
Very sorry all

DC folks:

Local News: Three Neighborhood Films by John Smith at UnionDocs

Saturday, May 12th at 7:00pm. $9 suggested donation.

For more information see:

http://www.uniondocs.org/2012-05-12-john-smith/

Between 1988 and 1996, John Smith made three quasi-documentary works that register the disastrous effects of the construction of the M11 Link Road on the filmmaker’s East London neighborhood. While all three function to preserve the memory of this vanishing landscape, and implicitly participate in the large-scale protests that met the highway’s construction, Smith — one of England’s most consistently inventive avant-garde filmmakers — puts the material to various suggestive uses, crafting three very different formal investigations whose unfolding stimulates a profound reflection on memory, time, history, and the lived experience of the city.

John Smith will appear via conference for a conversation with UnionDocs Critical Writing Fellow Colin Beckett.

I have a last minute shoot tomorrow in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and am looking for an intern/P.A. to help. We're shooting on the new Canon C300 which is really cool.

The shoot is actually a Kickstarter video for a very cool new product.

The budget is minimal, but I can pay a bit of cash for the day.

This is a short documentary that I will be trying to exhibit/submit to film festivals this year. The title is THE GOLDEN SCHOOL, which centers around a Madrassa (school) in Quiapo, Manila. The running time is around 25 minutes. More info of it, here

Any suggestions regarding what festivals to send it?

Raymund, you already posted this in the Festivals topic (a much more appropriate place for it) and we really try to discourage double postings. Trust that people really will find it if it's in the right topic.

In reply to Doug Block's post on Sat 12 May 2012 :

Oh ok. Growing pains! :) I had a mistake on posting this here, and i couldn't erase it anymore. My bad.

No worries at all, Raymund, happens all the time. We're really happy to have you here on The D-Word, and that you've thrown yourself into the discussions so enthusiastically and generously.

A new episode of my podcast THE REAL STUFF is posting today, please give it a listen.

The podcast is a series of interviews with the makers of unscripted tv & film.

You can listen to it on my site www.darrencoyle.com or subscribe to it on iTunes. A new one posts every two weeks.
