Short film p.o.c. - a job post by Tommy Luca

Apply Below

APPLY Assistant Director
Paid

Perform as an AD in the Production Office and On Set but first assist the Producers with management of the Crowdfunding Campaign.

APPLY Line Producer
Paid

I need two Associate Producers, but the list on Stage 32 doesn't show that credit so you and a PA will be credited as Associate Producers. I'm going to delegate jobs because I'm Directing and Producing and working several other responsibilities in other Departments. You'll assist me with the Crowdfunding Campaign first.

APPLY Production Designer
Paid

I usually handle the visual aspects of everything in front of the camera but will be very busy in all Departments on this picture. I think its best for the PD to work close with the Director, DP, and Editor early on. You'll helm the Art Department at Imagination Workshop Studio.

APPLY Cinematographer
Paid

I originally wanted to film on Kodak Motion Picture Film Stock. But for budgetary reasons thought it cost effective to film with a digital Cinema camera such as a SONY FS7. But might film with Kodak 35mm now and a 435 XTREME? If you own equipment that's great, if not we'll rent. I want to work alongside a DP that knows the Craft, can communicate with me and has similar interests in movies.

APPLY Editor
Paid

I originally wanted to film on Kodak Motion Picture Film Stock but for budgetary reasons thought it cost effective to film with a digital Cinema ARRI or SONY camera. So that relieves you of having to cut a lot of strips on the cutting room floor on a KEM or Moviola. I just want to work alongside an Editor that knows the Craft, can communicate with me and has similar interests in movies.

About the job
Hi, I'm Tommy Luca. The picture's Creator. This Short Film Script is 18 pages but the Short Film P.O.C. will be 20 minutes in length because I'm going to adlib two pages while filming, and those two minutes I'm going to give the cast and crew creative license as long as it's within the boundaries of the story, we can let loose and have a ball filling the shots in. The Short Film has a working title of LUNCH. It's a Fantasy/Horror/Comedy. First stage we'll be in the Production Office before in Studio and On Set. What I need is a team lead by a Crowdfunding Campaign Manager that can manage the Crowdfunding Campaign to acquire the necessary capital of $175,000., more if we attract prominent Star Talent, to make the push into Preproduction on this Short Film P.O.C. The production budget is that high because the film is effects heavy requiring Concept Design, Concept Set Models, Concept Character Clay Maquettes, Storyboards, Atmospheric Special Effects, Pyrotechnic Special Effects, Partial & full Live-action Sets, Forced Perspective Foreground Miniature of a Creature Head for a shot, House Miniatures, Matte Paintings, Rotoscope work, Animation Effects, Mechanical Effects, Hair & Make-Up, Special Make-Up Effects, Radio Control Animatronic Characters, Rod Puppets, Props, Costumes, and much more. You will be paid on the DreamFactory Studios Payroll, after capital is acquired in escrow, also on contract in a Percentage Profit Sharing after the film is released by our Distribution Division at DreamFactory Studios.

LUNCH sounds ambitious and exciting! I’d love to discuss how Creative Station can support the preproduction, effects, VFX, animation, and post-production to bring your vision to life.
