Welcome to April!
Spring is starting to pick up with exciting, professional film work, and general auditions for theaters. The last day of the Portland Area Theatre Alliance auditions is today, and this is an opportunity for stage actors to audition before many local theater companies. Are you participating? Tell us about your experiences preparing, auditioning, and whether you receive callbacks.
Let's continue this chat throughout the week and talk about extra work, student films, and deferred payment gigs. I know that a lot of people have shared their feedback and advice on accepting non-paid work, and there have been quite a few heated arguments on PDX Backstage about this in the past, but how do you feel about deferred payment gigs, where you could possibly do the work if the film has investors involved once they see the final product, or once it hits the film festival circuit. How do you look at extra work, where you are getting visibility on TNT shows, and feature films being shot locally, but you are making minimum wage doing it. Students films have always been encouraged to the actor just starting out because they walk out of it with footage for their reel, but how do you feel about seasoned actors doing student films?
This can be a very touchy subject sometimes because I know that filmmakers are not always able to pay, but they are still producing high quality work, while respecting and featuring their actors involved. Share your thoughts, input, and experiences, and let's start in on this topic for next week a few days early.
If you are a fan of the blog, please share this with actor friends. If you have any feedback for me on how to improve my blog, share this with me so that I may work on improving the blog.
Thanks.

1 scene video for film fest. (class assignment)
Hi, I am producing a 1scene video for a class assignment. I am auditioning for performers on this college class assignment of mine.
I will be presenting the finished film on you tube and enter it in any film festivals I can.
What the scene needs:
Man 1: seasoned police detective in plain clothes. mature kind face and voice.
Man 2: Rookie officer attempting to make a good impression, eager to do his duty.
Woman 1: younger than man 1, (younger sister) Stressed out suicidal, still able to communicate but a bit out of control because of the recent life experiences. will be dressed in unwashed sort of dirty clothes. unbathed but not to dirty. This woman gets shot dead and has to die on camera very fast.
Woman 2 Waitress that knows woman one and man 1 well like they are regular customers. calm nature and supportive smiling attitude. any working age, look.
This film has no budget, I can not offer any money unless it makes money... even then I doubt it will be much if any... this is a class assignment and It would be a good chance to show your skills. and it will be showcased and seen by a lot of shakers and movers in the film industry at film festivals You will get full credit in the credits and I may even be able to include a meal for the crew as the location belongs to a good friend.(Cafe)
Please reply with a head shot and a sample of your voice on audio if possible. Include contact info that I can get hold of you quickly... I plan to shoot as soon as next Wednesday, or the next Wednesday Likely evening but could be daylight. I have all professional equipment and will be shooting with high quality DSLR.

Thanks for your time and I hope to work with some great performers.

Actress 55-65 Needed for Corporate Gig
We are looking for a caucasian female 55-65, grey hair preferred, for a corporate promotional video for a mobile imaging company. The shoot is on April 7 and you will only need to be there for several hours, with minimal dialogue if any. Mostly, the video relies on voiceover, so it's more about appearing natural, comfortable, etc. Very short time commitment and easy work but good connections and something to add to the resume. I am a feature film writer-director, with an aim to film my next several movies in Portland, but I run a corporate media production company as well so it'd be nice to meet more actors and actresses in Portland, my original home city. Please send me your headshot(s) and resume. Thanks!
