Aberrant behavior-auditions saturday the 19th 2263 mission (between 18th & 19th) 3:30-6:30 (Also looking for crew)

Jason — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 12:28:55 GMT

I'm making a film, that will be somewhat explicit in parts. Also, there will be imagery that needs nudity.
I am afraid that I will not be able to cut the content of the movie script, even if I find actors interested .You can e-mail me with rates, photos, questions, etc. If your an actor or actress who has worked in nudity and/or sexual situations, is comfortable with it, and would like to take on a feature narrative film as a major role please e-mail me or show up to the auditions. The two main roles are the ones that require it but there are others. If you would like to be featured in sequences that do not involve the main characters, but are part of dreamlike imagery you can either show up to the audition, or e-mail me with link to your work. Best place to e-mail:
theperiodmovie@yahoo.com

Here is the plot:
Aberrant Behavior, is basically about two self destructive anarchistic-y street kids who have an exaggerated form of pica, a disorder where people feel compelled to eat non-food materials, carpet, dirt, soap, drano, various chemicals, etc. as portrayed as a drug addiction. Who are in a very self destructive relationship, there perfect for each-other except they literally kill each-other by being together. A lot of psycho-sexual/self mutilation-masochism in this one.There's more to it, but that's the basic synopsis.

Keep in mind the budget of this movie will probably stay around 25-35, 000 dollars (already secured), so just warning I can't pay the highest rates

Thanks-
Jason

Here is the original posting:

I have a new movie called "Aberrant Behavior" auditioning Sat. 1/19 3:30-6:3- at the Dark Room SF 2263 Mission off of 19th and Mission@ 3:30 - 6:30. (My first movie "the period" came out through Sub Rosa Cinema can be seen/bought at Netflix www.myspace.com/theperiodmovie as well as various other outlets)
Aberrant Behavior, is basically about two self destructive anarchistic-y street kids who have an exaggerated form of pica, a disorder where people feel compelled to eat non-food materials, carpet, dirt, soap, drano, various chemicals, etc. as portrayed as a drug addiction. There's more to it, but that's the basic synopsis. If you can't make it to the auditions, you can send me a head shot with resume, or whatever you want. We can then decide when and where to meet.

I will be hiring for many roles, all ages (over 18) races, sizes, etc. But here are the main characters:
Main Characters:
Victor Muertos: (Mid to late twenties) Half Mexican/Half white (Half latino/half white will probably work). Black hair, down to chin and five o clock shadow. (Flexible though). Tall and thin but not too thin.
Dark, brooding, depressed, prone to long winded sarcastic, cynical rants. Living off the state for mental depression, and addiction, but eventually breaks himself from the state. He hates the state, and normal life in general. He hates almost everything. He is sort of sloppy hipster, slightly emo, slight slight slight goth meets street kid. Light or no body mod, piercings, etc. He eventually lives on the street because of choice.He falls in love with Aiko.

Aiko Zumbi (18-early twenties or look like it) Half Japanese/Half German (or Japanese, or half Japanese/Half white). Shorter than Victor, thin but still slightly curvy.
Street kid with a bit of dark hippie. Has been sexually abused as a child. Prone to violence. Prone to long winded rants, or sometimes just total silence. Dark, cynical, with a very bleak view of life. Body mods, tattoo's, piercings, fine. Dreaded or colored hair fine as well. Actually preffered.
She falls in love with Victor.

Emma May (20's to 30's) Actress must be thin, because character is anorexic. Very fake, superficial, manic laughing. Very self deluded. She doesn't really see her anorexia as a problem, she think she looks great though she's obviously dieing and goes to extremes to keep herself thin. She is always dressed up elegantly and thinks of herself as a proper lady even when doing something grotesque . She is a head executive at a advertising/pr firm that she gets a Victor a brief job at, through meeting him in a class over there mutual addictions. (Brief Nudity /Partial a few times)

Caseworker Joe (30's-40's) Written has hispanic, but open. Larger guy, tall, built like a shed, a bit fat but not flabby fat. Very coarse, to the point, direct "Take no shit" kind of guy. Very normal, buys into the whole big house in the suburbs, good job, etc. He is Victor's Caseworker, and is tired of Victor's Shit, and believes he is not trying to quit. (None)

Glitters- a gay gangster rapper, take everything that's a cliche and horrible about it and flip it so that it's gay (some, will also need male models)

Pedida Muertos-Victors Mother. A nearly catatonic morally apprehensive drug addict who's always sleeping with random guys and ignoring her child (Some nudity/sexual situations can be negotiated to less)

And then random visuals, nudes for some flashback scenes (of some sort of psuedo porn the main characer shot) a girl that Victor sleeps with before he falls in love with Zumbi (requires brief nudity/sexuality) and some body part imagery that will not feature the face of the actor/actress, among other thing

I need before I even start:
Prostethetics/Makeup- There are many parts of my movie that need gore, ghoulish makeup or creating body casts for dreamlike effect (like a scene where they fall onto the ground and break like porcelain blood-paint spraying out of them creating a heart) but most importantly I need someone who can help make someone look anorexic, eye sockets reccessed , hips sticking out, ribs sticking out, shoulder blades, etc. I can't start without this because it's one of the main characters.

Boom-I have someone lined up for operating boom/mixing sound, but I'm not sure he'll always be available. I need someone who has at least some experience in this to help. I have equipment but having (better?) equipment would be great.

Props- It would be great to have someone who can assist in creating edible (or non toxic) chemicals, substances, materials for the main characters to ingest. It would also free me up to think about other things.

Lighting/ Art Department/ Set Design/Decoration/Locations- I need someone who can do a lot without a lot who can work with unusual materials. Who isn't too expensive or I won't be able to afford you. Also may be able to transform other locations into desired location.Things needed for instance underground bomb shelter turned into run down sorta apartment. Abandoned buildings. Offices. Fashion Show. A sewer, where the characters live in and eat off of trash.

Original posting:

Set Decorators/Builders:
Though the majority of the movie will be in real locations. There will be a few sets built, and sets that will be decorated to fit the movie. I am looking for people who have experience building sets (theater experience would be great) on a low budget. Resourcefullness in materials is needed (Meaning you can do a lot with not a lot). Building flats, painting, decorating.

Prosthetics/ Make-Up: Though this is not a gore horror movie. There is quite a few instances of gore. People who have experience in mold making, prostethics, sculpture. etc. would be very helpfull. Also people good at making people looking sickly or malnourished through make-up needed. In addition Emma May, the severe anorexic will need added pieces to protrude her brows and jaw, her ribs, collar bones, hip bones, etc to make herself appear much thinner. Actually a lot of make up needs from simple to complex through out the movie.

Vfx-Compositors- Though this will not be a special effects epic, there will be things needed. Good flashy two animations/composting for some of the fake commercials/promos. Possible fire and underwater animation. Some manipulation of the video -color fluctuations, shrinking an enlarging, simple morph effects, color globules to represent visual aberrations in the characters eye-sight. Some 3-D needed especailly those who are good working with modeling human figures. But mostly more simple 2-D basic 3-D stuff. I may do this myself, but send me a link to your work, and I might hire you for the movie.

Props: I will be doing much of this myself, but may need help in re-creating chemicals, materials, such as drano, soap, dirt, carpet, many other instances through-out the script, to create realistic looking edible (or at least non toxic ) substitutes for the substances they swallow.

Mechanical/Puppetry- Not needed for a lot of the movie. But there is a few scenes with Emma Mays giant snake like tape worm that slithers around. Also a scene where skull bowls start vomiting (have to read script to explain) Could do myself, just seeing if anyone else might be interested.

Lighting Designer: Though I will likely take over this role myself, and a lot of the footage will be shoot in the streets style. There will be a few locations that will be staying in for a long while in the script, and would like good, stylized lighting for maximum creepy effectiveness.

Costume: I already have a few people on board for this, but as this movie ends in a big Valentines Day Fashion Show. I am looking for people who could be commisioned for clothing for that event (and other sequences in the movie as well). Also, previously made pieces could work.

Underwater Camera- Anyone who would like to rent me an underwater camera, or who has experience filming underwater, this is needed for a few sequences.

Boom Mic/ Sound Mixer- I already have someone onboard for this, but never hurts to have a second position, or a backup

Pyro/ Fire Safety/Explosion - This really isn't needed for a lot of the movie. But there is one scenes where a whole room catches on fire (with possible stuntman that catches on fire, I made do this in special effects). There is another scenes where a home-made bomb blows a crack into a wall and makes it crumble. I want these scenes to come off effective and safe.

Security- Not throughout the whole movie, but there will be scenes where I will be filming in potentially dangerous locations, and a climax that will need crowd control

Legal/ Locations- I will probably do this myself, but if anyone has experience in finding or knowing of great locations, or securing permits for locations. I might be interested in working with you.

Production Assistants/Co-Ordinaters (I am sure you know what this means)

Music- I have most of the music worked out. But a band fell out that I really felt I needed for some sequences. If your music is post -rocky, slow core or has that aphex twin meets godspeed you black emperor I may be interested. The kind of bands I'm looking for: Mew, Godspeed you black emperor, Explosions in the sky, Spiritualized, 65 days of static, Sigur Ros. Also in some music Portis-Heady could work.

Thanks
-Jason

“The Smiling Man” World Premiere and DVD Release Party

B.J. — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 03:03:46 GMT

(San Francisco, CA) - Local movie makers Kelp Entertainment are proud to unveil their new detective mystery in a free Noir-themed bash and public screening at 12 Galaxies on the evening of August 7th, 8:00 P.M.

Set in San Francisco, 1948, “The Smiling Man” tells the story of down-on-his-luck private detective Nick Chambers as he tracks down a missing man with only a single lead to work from - a photograph of his grinning quarry. Without even a name to go on, Nick begins a citywide hunt for this mysterious missing person, but finds more questions than answers. Based on the short story written by Keoni Chavez, originally published in the anthology “Fog City Nocturne”, The Smiling Man pays loving homage to the classic detective films of the forties, while adding a decidedly post-modern slant.

The centerpiece of the evening will be two screenings of “The Smiling Man”, each lasting 37 minutes, once in vintage black and white, and later in color. Many members of the cast and crew will be on hand to share anecdotes and answer questions.

Guests can compete in a “Liar’s Dice” tournament for valuable prizes. Refreshments will be available for purchase at 12 Galaxies’ bar, and we may have a surprise musical guest!

1940’s clothing is encouraged, but by no means required.

“The Smiling Man” World Premiere and DVD Release Party
Tuesday, August 7th, 8:00 p.m.
12 Galaxies, 2565 Mission Street @ 22nd St., San Francisco
Open to the public, 21 and over.

Call for Submissions!

chiliberto — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 22:46:48 GMT

The Bearded Child Film Festival comes around to ATA each year with lots of great films and t-shirts. Submit your film!!! Checkout the call for entries below...

#################
Call for Entries!!!

6th Annual
Bearded Child Film Festival
Grand Rapids, Minnesota
bcfilmfest@gmail.com
www.beardedchild.com
www.myspace.com/beardedchildfilmfest

Screening: Aug. 18-19
Deadline: July 21

The Bearded Child is a small vanguard festival devoted to "outsider" film and performance art. All genres are eligible, but we are mostly interested in works that push innovative boundaries in one way or another. Weird and wacky works are our first priority, but it tends to be difficult to get the real crazies to submit to festivals. If you know of any reclusive artists that might fit in well with this festival, please let us know.

Optional Entry Fees!
This year we are relying solely on free-will donations to fund the festival, and no mandatory entry fee is required. Your potential donation will directly affect the quality of the festival itself, but will have no impact on our selection process. As "donations" tend to be somewhat flaky, no awards will be given at this year's festival, and we expect a very bare-bones operating budget.

The festival is held in a gorgeous 600-seat performing arts center deep in the heart of the Northwoods. Grand Rapids, Minnesota (NOT Michigan!!) is a small mill town of just under 8000 people. It boasts several of the finest thrift stores, greasy-spoon diners, and early morning bakeries in the Midwest. The perfect location for a true "outsider" fest!

If selected for the festival, you may also be eligible for future Bearded Child film tours. In Fall 2005, the Bearded Child went on a whirlwind 30+ city tour that hit locations as diverse as: Clovis, NM; Harrison, Ark.; Kirksville, MO; Ashville, NC; Jacksonville, FL; Memphis, TN; Detroit, MI; Oakland, CA; Burning Man Festival, NV; Montreal, and more.

CROSSING ARIZONA now playing in San Francisco thru May 4th!!!

Dan — Sun, 30 Apr 2006 03:22:16 GMT

SCREENING NIGHTLY at 7:00 & 9:00 PM
Matinees SAT, SUN, WED 2:30 & 4:45 PM

SUBTITLED IN SPANISH & ENGLISH

"Excellent"
- San Francisco Chronicle

"Engrossing"
- San Francisco Bay Guardian

"A Searing Documentary"
- El Tecolote

Understanding the current immigration crisis requires more than can be summed up in one article or TV news segment. CROSSING ARIZONA - a hit at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival - is the only film that tells the story of how the debate reached the intensity it has today from the inside out, through an intimate and far reaching look at the debate as it has developed over two years at its hottest point - along the Arizona/Sonora border - providing context and depth to the news headlines.

Heightened security along the Texas and California borders funnels an estimated 4,500 undocumented migrants, most traveling on foot, into remote sectors of the Arizona desert on a daily basis. The perilous journey, which can take up to four days, has led to the deaths of thousands of migrants. The influx of migrants and rising death toll has elicited impassioned responses and complicated feelings about human rights, culture, class and national security. Through the eyes of frustrated ranchers, local activists, desperate migrants, and the Minutemen who've become darlings of the national media, CROSSING ARIZONA reveals the surprising political stances people take when immigration and border policy fails everyone.

HOW: Tickets $4 - $8. Advance tickets available at www.roxie.com

WHEN: Thru MAY 4th, 7:00pm & 9:00pm nightly. Additional Sat., Sun. & Wed. matinees 2:30pm & 4:45pm.

WHERE: Roxie Film Center, 3117 16th St. at Valencia, San Francisco CA. Local Muni are the 22 and 53 (both at 16th & Valencia), 33 (18th & Valencia), 14 (16th & Mission), 49 (16th & Mission).

Old gear giveaways - stock up for art installations

Robyn — Wed, 08 Feb 2006 19:05:52 GMT

I've got some old media gear that needs a new home. Anyone game?

JVC 3/4" umatic player model CP-5200U - this is a preferred deck for video installations, has remote control.

Electrohome model 2190 21" color broadcast monitor NTSC with composite and RGB inputs - can be rack mounted, hung from ceiling, etc.

20" (Diamond Scan) monitor - OEM for Silicon Graphics, has DB-15 VGA video pigtail for use with PC. Will do 1600x1200 if refresh rates, blanking levels, etc. properly setup. Backbreaker to move, built to last.

Kenwood CV-1250 NTSC Vectorscope - used to work, sat on shelf, now it doesn't. Probably needs new capacitors in power supply.

Minolta PS-25 large format BW laser printer 11"x17" with Postscript-2, 128meg RAM, network jack - needs rebuild kit and drum if you want nice copies. Might be ok as is for grunge.

Old computer junk - 486, Pentium, K5.

Pirate Cat TV

chiliberto — Sat, 08 Jan 2005 02:21:42 GMT

I just saw a listing for Pirate Cat Radio's new TV show on Channel 13. They have a call for submissions up. It looks like a cool place to submit work. Plus they're broadcasting it at the Odeon Bar, so if you don't have cable you can drop by to watch.

But hey, ATA has it's own cable show too: ATV. Maybe it's time we thought about broadcasting it in our own space. I don't have cable at home, and even if I did, I couldn't see ATV because I live in the East Bay. We'd probably have to just play the tapes in the space, because watching it live would mean we'd all be there at midnight.

"Up with Oil" promotional film (?) at peak oil screening

espertus — Thu, 20 Oct 2005 05:16:40 GMT

On October 8, I attended an ATA screening on peak oil. The main feature was The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream. A number of short videos were also shown. I couldn't tell if the short video "Up with Oil" (if I remember correctly) was intended to be satirical or genuine. Does anyone have more information on it?

April 30th Deadline for the Zeitgeist Int'l Film Fest

chiliberto — Tue, 05 Apr 2005 06:24:29 GMT

Don't forget to submit your film and videos to the Zeitgeist Int'l Film Festival. The deadline is April 30th!!! The festival runs June 13, July 11, and Aug 8th. Possibly one of my favorite film fests, because sneaking beer into the Castro, SFMoMA, or wherever else, means you have to stick at least bring a six pack under your jacket, along with your jujubees, which then gets warm.

Anyway,...

No more Carrie McLaren in my inbox. I'm not the most dedicated blog reader, so this sucks... but that's my problem.

There are other writers contributing to the blog, so it should be full of fun facts and information about your modern world. Check it out!

Brainwash Call for Entries

chiliberto — Tue, 15 Feb 2005 01:54:50 GMT

Just spotted a film festival that takes place in Oakland. I've never heard of it, but the fact that they do their festival out in a parking lot, drive-in style seems pretty cool.

Deadline for shorts is May 1, 2005.

Jan 30th deadline for ATA webzine proposals

kathleen — Mon, 24 Jan 2005 18:11:45 GMT

This coming Sunday, Jan 30th marks two major events in world history: the much-anticipated "democratic" election in Iraq and the deadline for proposals for the fourth issue of the ATA webzine on the topic of "transitions".....I don't know about you, but this sure seems like a bit of an ironic juxtaposition to me. If you've been wanting to vent your spleen about the Bush regime, US policy, foreign relations, elections, power, money, or anything of the like, this just may be the place and time to do it.

We also welcome submissions on less inflammatory issues (based around the theme of "transitions") in just about any media. It's the web afterall. We prefer SF Bay Area artists, writers and thinkers, as this is an SF-based zine. And if you can tie your submission to the SF Bay Area, even better!

If you are interested in submitting, please write to the editors: zine@atasite.org by Jan 30th and give us a few sentences on what you are interested in sharing with the ATA community and the world!

Tribe TV

chiliberto — Thu, 13 Jan 2005 21:06:05 GMT

I just noticed this link on the homepage:

http://sanfrancisco.tribe.net/template/pub%2Cpromo%2CTribeTV.vm?r=10535

Tribe has their own TV show on cable access. It sounds like they're having fun. They must have money to spend.

* The weird thing is that I just started reading "No Logo" by Naomi Klein and the first part of the book is all about brands expanding, where movie companies start making shoes, shoe companies start making phones, phone companies start making movies, and so on forever. It's also where brands take over all of what's left of our culture, digging into every nook and cranny to brand the heck out of everything, so that we've gotten to the point where nobody can think about doing anything without it being sponsored by Whoever-The-Farkington's Beer Company and you're not there to see the rock stars or the films in the festival any more, you're there because of the brand. Sheesh, am I on a rant or what. It's a good farking book, eh!

Welcome to the Artists' Television Access tribe!

chiliberto — Fri, 31 Dec 2004 00:11:17 GMT

This tribe is not only for discussing everything that goes on at ATA but also everything ATA stands for--radical politics, video as an art form and other forms of outsider or fringe art, small guage film, dead media, community action, medial literacy, alternative cinema, burritos...

Welcome!

Spark TV

chiliberto — Thu, 13 Jan 2005 01:31:02 GMT

You might see our heads bobbing around in the background or maybe when the camera pans the room our little art installation (plastic sandwich bags, string and a computer) will fly by the screen*.

Next Wednesday they're airing the Spark episode on PBS of which a fragment was shot at the opening of "This Way Please" at Pond Gallery last month. Kathleen and I had a piece in it, a sort of installation in public space with a computer kiosk in the gallery. The Spark episode is about Amy Francescini.

At some point in the future, they're also going to air something that was shot at ATA during Other Cinema. I'm not sure when though. I didn't see that in the calendar they have up there so far.

http://www.kqed.org/spark/episodes/

* By the way, our piece was called "Boo Radley Was Here 2004" and you can still see the online part of it!!! Thanks to everbody who came to our opening!!! http://www.dprojx.org/booradley/

ATA webzine issue #4 call for proposals

kathleen — Mon, 10 Jan 2005 18:00:55 GMT

Issue #4 of the ATA webzine "Transitions" will address the concept of change. From material/physical to conceptual/emotional to geographical, "Transitions" looks at the state of change--when something is not what it used to be, yet not entirely something else--and opens up the awkward stages of development and regression to aesthetic and critical scrutiny.

Proposals for work related to the theme of transitions are due to the editors by January 30, 2005. We are looking for text-based, web-based and anything-in-between-based work by SF Bay Area artists and writers. There will also be a gallery/screening show in conjunction with the release of the issue at the end of April (so you can think in terms of doing a two-part project).

Please send your proposal (or questions!) to the editors at: zine@atasite.org

The current issue, as well as the first two issues of the ATA webzine can be accessed at: http://www.atasite.org/zine/

Rooftop Films

chiliberto — Tue, 04 Jan 2005 01:46:37 GMT

Hey,

If you didn't know it already, Rooftop Films' deadline for submissions is coming up in two months, March 1, 2005.

http://www.rooftopfilms.com

Yeah, the screenings are in NYC, but they're good people. And they brought one of their shows to ATA a while back. And it would be a good excuse to hang out in New York during summer if your film got accepted.
