See a Cool Movie at FILMQUEST This Weekend

FILMQUEST is a cool film festival showing fantasy and horror genre pieces! This weekend it is showing this particular film: The Faceless Man.

We met the filmmakers in L.A. this summer, and they are fantastic people, and this is a fantastic film. It is right up there with the kind of movies we love at East Hollywood, and attending festivals like this serve some great purposes. 1) They are inspiring! Watching short films made by independent artist is always a great, creativity promoting exercise. 2) You meet the filmmakers, which is super duper handy! Networking is awesome!

This film screens this Saturday, Sept. 16th, at 11am at the Covey Center in Provo (425 Center St, Provo, UT 84601).

Student prices for tickets are just $6 per screening! Nice!

Chance to Crew or Act in a Film

Will and I received this message from a student at another school:

Hello!

My name is Carson and I am a Junior over at Itineris in West Jordan. I'm working on a student short film in November and I was wondering if any students at East Hollywood would be interested in working on the project. I need to fill acting roles, a slater spot, boom op, sound mixer, AC, etc.

Filming is currently set for November 10th and 11th in West Jordan, UT.

If there was any way I could get out word of this project to the students at your school, that would be really great!

If someone is interested, it'd be great if they could contact me at this email (davyyells@gmail.com).

And also, I do need to cast a few characters so here's a casting call just in case someone at EHHS would like to audition.

CASTING CALL:
"Bully" - Student Short Film
Dates: November 10th, 11th
Location: West Jordan, UT
No Pay
Cast is the following (3 Male roles, 1 Female):
Jack (15-18) -
A pretty boy, good looking, leader of a band of rude friends. Similar to "Sid" from Toy Story in terms of personality. Good looking though.
Jeremy (15-18) -
Timid but slightly off boy. A new kid who gets bullied by the main character on one occasion. Must be able to be slightly creepy without overdoing it.
Chelsey (15-18) -
Girlfriend of Jack. Complains often and makes Jack take care of any problems she has. Very rude girl and inconsiderate.

Thanks so much for all your help!
