Hi,
Was wondering if anyone here had a name for a person in LA who's a whiz at Filemaker? We're looking for a little consulting help and some advice setting up a stock footage database. There's not a lot of stock footage in our film, but enough to make us need to track it. It's for a doc film about girls education in the developing world, called 10x10: Educate Girls, Change the World (10x10act.org). We're located in LA, near Hollywood, Koreatown, not far from Silverlake.
Let me know if you or someone you know might be interested. Thanks so much, Alex (alex [at] 10x10act [dot] com)

Looking to buy one or two batteries for the Panasonic HVX 200, either old style or new style w/adaptor. I need them by Thursday (8/9) morning in L.A. or Wednesday morning in the Bay Area.
mjakubal at gmail daht com.

FILM MAKER NEEDED!

Hi! I would like to make a short documentary of about 15 minutes in length about a very unusual house in Los Angeles. We are thinking along the lines of the old A&E series "America's Castles."

The challenges are that we need it done quickly and the budget is limited.

Are you interested in making this film, or do you know someone in L.A. who might be? Please let me know.

Thanks!

Hello,

We are looking for an editor to begin cutting a documentary about the rise of A&M records. Production in full swing. Interviews to date:
Herb Alpert, Lou Adler, Lani Hall, Sergio Mendes, Burt Bacharach, Dave Alpert.

Please email Kevin at sarnoff@mac.com

THX

In reply to Theodore James's post on Wed 15 Aug 2012 :

Theodore, any number of D-Worders have recommended Leah Warshawski, though if you do a search here under "grant writers" I'm sure you'll turn up a number of other highly qualified folks.

We are subletting a room in our Downtown Los Angeles office. We're located in the heart of LA's historic district in a building full of filmmakers, sound-mixers, artists, and other creative professionals.

The room is on the 10th floor and is a perfect place for a small production office or editing suite. Rent includes access to wired & wireless internet, phone, printer, in addition to our common area / conference room.

If interested, please send an email to info@voxpopfilms.tv

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a PA for a doc shoot during the DNC next week in Charlotte, NC. PA would need to have their own car and be able to drive crew for short distances around the DNC. There is pay.

If you have any recommendations, please send them my way!

Thanks,
Mattie Akers
Cabin Creek Films
mattieakers[at]gmail[dot]com

Mattie, I highly recommend you contact D-Worder Cynthia Hill, a North Carolina filmmaker who co-founded the Southern Documentary Fund. She could probably give you some leads.

"The Real Stuff" is a series of interviews with the makers of unscripted tv and film.

My guest this episode is Angie Brown.

Angie is the head of casting and development for a production company in Washington, D.C.

You know those people who corner you at a party and tell you they’ve got a great idea for a reality show? And then they tell you and it’s a terrible idea. All of those people need to sit down with Angie and get a little schooling as to what makes for a good television show idea.

Listen on my site streaming or subscribe to it on iTunes.

In reply to Doug Block's post on Fri 31 Aug 2012 :

Thanks Doug. We ended up using someone we found from the North Carolina Film Office, but I'll be sure to contact Cynthia if the need arises in the future.

Docs In Progress will be taking our popular Work-in-Progress Screening program on the road...to Springdale, Utah which is not only known as the gateway to Zion National Park, but is also home to the Red Rock Film Festival (and D-Word's own Matt Marxteyn).

This is the first time that Docs In Progress is bringing its signature work-in-progress screening program outside of the Mid-Atlantic, giving more filmmakers the opportunity to get this beneficial feedback.

Deadline to Submit is October 15 and there is no fee to submit. Please click here for guidelines and a link to the online submission page.

WHO SHOULD SUBMIT?
Are you too close to your documentary? Do you have a rough cut, but need a reality check from someone beyond your circle before you lock picture? Or are you already submitting your film to festivals and wondering why it isn't being accepted? Docs In Progress screenings can give you that reality check with a screening and facilitated feedback session from real audiences.

A FEW IMPORTANT GUIDELINES

Deadline to Submit is October 15. There is no fee to submit.

Submissions must be rough cuts. No completed works or trailers.

Submissions must be documentaries. Both short and feature-length are accepted (maximum length for a feature is 90 minutes).

Filmmaker must be open to feedback on the work-in-progress with the aim of drawing from that feedback to make changes to the final edit of the film.

If selected, the filmmaker must be able to attend in person the screening on Saturday, November 17 between 2:00-6:00 pm. The screenings are scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 17 in Springdale, Utah (just outside of Zion National Park, about 45 minutes from St. George, UT or 2 1/2 hours from Las Vegas, NV).

If selected, travel to the festival would be at the filmmaker's own expense although the festival may have some discount arrangements with local hotels and will provide filmmakers a festival pass and access to the Closing Party.Filmmakers will be notifed of acceptance by October 26 to allow adequate time to make travel arrangements.

We just found our we're premiering in competition at IDFA this November and this is our last chance to get feedback. The film is a first person account of my return to document the death of the world built by my father, the Chicago trading pits. For those of you with social calenders as empty as my own, I'd really appreciate if you'd attend. Please email if you're interested and I'll send you the details. jordan (dot) melamed (at) gmail.com Thanks!

Hi folks,

It's been about a year since I posted. I've gotten so many terrific leads through D-Word so here I go again.

I'm looking for a talented director/shooter/editor or small doc team in Paris! I'm looking for someone, or some folks who ideally, who have (or have access to) a 5D or an HD video rig to do a short piece for us here at Etsy. We publish a 3-4 minute doc short every other week to the web, and this one would require someone (or some folks) with not only a strong eye, but a sense of humor, to boot. This would be a portrait of a maker ... of an unusual sort!

An example of our most recent short is here: http://vimeo.com/49335672 (directed, shot and edited by LA talent James Mann). If anyone has any recommendations or connections in Paris, please let me know. I would be so appreciative!

Thank you so much!

Beth, I highly recommend you contact Heidi Fleisher who lives in Paris. She's a producer but can probably steer you to the right team.

The flash mob starts at 3 p.m. EST/2 p.m. CST/12 p.m. PST/11 a.m. AKST/9 a.m. HST sharp and lasts less than 3 minutes. Shooting would involve getting some wide shots, closeups and some reaction shots, and possibly talking to some participants. Therefore, the commitment is no longer than about 30 minutes tomorrow (Saturday, 10/13/12). If cinematographers/camera people in any city across the US are interested, please contact me, akhurana@post.harvard.edu.

It's a total volunteer, grassroots effort, independent of the Obama campaign happening around the country. See the promo put together by our NYC group at their rehearsal last week: https://vimeo.com/51165351 and you can check it out on fb too: http://www.facebook.com/NationalDanceForObama and http://www.facebook.com/events/479400778757926/

It's going to be amazing and we would love your support. Please spread the word widely.

Thank you,

Help! I am looking for a sound recordist in Portland or Eugene this Tuesday and am coming up dry. Anyone have a referral?

Thanks!

An update on the doc about Kubrick's Paths of Glory. A moderately successful Kickstarter campaign in the beginning of the year allowed us to finish the film. Now we are raising funds in pursuit of distribution on Indiegogo.
If you or anyone you know may be interested in this project about the craft and art of narrative film-making, please support us in anyway you can.

In reply to Amanda Micheli's post on Sat 13 Oct 2012 :
I am happy to finally have a recommendation to make after receiving so much help from others in this group. For a sound recordist in Portland/Eugene OR you should contact the fantastic Anna Rieke
at: runawaytrains [at] gmail [dot] com or (646) 594-8566. She has done sound on some very top notch documentaries and she is a warm and wonderful person all around. If she can't do it, she'll certainly know someone who can.

Hi, I am looking for work as colorist on independent productions with limited budgets in the New York City area. I have many years of experience in color grading, and now work freelance. I'm willing to work within the independent budget.

Docs In Progress is pleased to welcome Fernanda Rossi back to Washington DC for a weekend of providing insights into how you can better pitch and package your documentary for fundraising. The earlybird registration deadline is this Friday, October 19.

NOVEMBER 3: MASTER CLASS: PACKAGING YOUR DOCUMENTARY FOR FUNDRAISING: THE LSD APPROACH.
The “LSD” Fernanda will be discussing stands for Loglines, Synopses, and Demos. How can these three elements (as well as Pitches) make the difference between getting your documentary on screen or not seen? During this full-day workshop at the George Washington University’s Media and Public Affairs Building, you will learn how to best represent your project verbally, in writing, and with audiovisual material to potential funders and distributors. The workshop will cover:

• Key elements of a pitch, proposal and demo
• Opening and closing techniques for pitching, proposals and trailers
• Different lengths of demos and what they are for
• Analysis of before/after cases studies
• View successful synopsis and fundraising samples

There will be a raffle for a gift certificate. Also the latest edition of Fernanda’s book Trailer Mechanics (2nd Edition released March 2012) will be available at a discount with signing after the presentation.

ISO: MAP GRAPHIC DESIGNER & ANIMATOR

We are looking for a designer for a map of West Africa for Essakane Film (www.essakanefilm). We need the map designed then animated to show the creation of post colonial nation-states. We are on a short deadline for our SXSW application.
Please email with work samples. I can send the edited scene if you want to see it.

Also, we are looking for a designer for our lower thirds and title so we would love to see work sample or receive recommendations. We are working on a small budget, but we do have some money for this and are very interested in working with something that can really capture the feel of our film into these graphics. We are open to a graphics package for all of these elements.

Thanks,
Kiley
