Volunteers sought for a film shoot on Vinalhaven island

2011-02-08T15:29:48-05:00

We are students at Columbia University, shooting a feature in fulfillment of the MFA program. We seek PAs who can work with us in Rockland and/or on the island of Vinalhaven between February 12th and March 7th, 2011. The positions are unpaid, though we can offer delicious meals and an excellent learning experience in a fun yet professional environment. We are hoping to find people whose schedules permit them to work both during the week and on weekends.

Please visit the film’s website here: http://noreasterfilm.com/.

Simply put the film is about faith. It deals with a priest and a family who’s 15 year old son, missing since he was 10, suddenly returns home.

If interested, please contact:

Intern sought for Sharp Entertainment

2010-06-23T22:33:34-05:00

My name is Andria, and I’m a production coordinator for Sharp Entertainment in NYC. We’re sending a crew up to Portland, ME to film a show for Travel Channel on July 3, 5, and 6, and we’re looking for 2 - 3 production interns to help. Our internship positions are unpaid, but they would be wonderful for college students or recent graduates who are looking for a quick three days of experience on a popular, fast-paced documentary-style television shoot.

Our production interns are going to help with a wide-range of tasks like setting up gear, gathering releases, possibly filming some b-roll, helping to take promotional stills, etc. We will provide our interns lunch every day. There will be absolutely zero obligation on the 4th of July holiday, so this is perfect for a student or recent grad who is going to be grounded in Portland over the Independence Day weekend.

If any of your members are interested, they can submit a brief cover letter and resume to me at andria at sharpentertainment dot com.

High School student seeks job shadowing

2010-04-30T15:20:54-05:00

Hello, my name is Kyle and I am a junior at Yarmouth High School. For school, there is a program called CEP which stands for Career Exploration Program. We have to contact someone who is in a field of our interest and for three days, we job shadow this person and take some notes. Since I am really into film making and movies, I thought if I could shadow someone at the Maine Film and Video Association it would be a very good experience for me. Is there any way that I could shadow someone for 3 days in May? I would very much aprecciate this opportunity.
Thank You,
Kyle

I am looking for an independent filmmaker in Maine where the film takes place. It is a sequel to Lee David Zlotoff”s film The Spitfire Grill. I tried to get in touch with Lee Zlotoff, but could not get through to him. He left the story open-ended and has yet to finish it.

My script is Charlie and Mollie, completes the story that Zlotoff started. I have an outline for the script and could have it ready in about 2 months. It will run approximately 90 minutes.

I would gladly share more information.
