But even with great talent, the mind--and the heart--can be difficult to control. If Faith wants to join forces with Dylan and save the world, she'll have to harness the power of both.

Jazz Choreographer for Dance Team RoutineI am looking to hire out a choreographer for my local high school Dance Team's Jazz/Contemporary routine. Experience choreographing for competitive HS dance team greatly preferred. The routine will need to be 2:30-3:00 minutes, highly textured (with group choreography ranging in difficulty, since talent is diverse on team), technically advanced (in regards to leaps, turns, etc), with a formation change (can be small shift or completely new shape) every two-eight counts at minimum. The routine will be performed by around 20 dancers.
You will need to be available two or three Saturday mornings in mid-November, so you can come to our practice facility and teach the girls the routine/formations. I predict the routine will take around six hours to instruct. With that in mind, I'm offering $600 for the job, which would equate $50 an hour when assuming twelve hours of work (six hours for choreography, six for instruction). This is negotiable depending on experience and quality of material/creative genius.
Please copy/paste resume to email (versus sending attachment) OR cover letter highlighting relevant expertise, your availability in November, and pay expectations if different from above. Also, if you have a creative "vision" this gig post has inspired, let me know! Themed pieces certainly stand out.
Thank you for your interest : )
Compensation: $600

E-mail me with any previous work, some headshots, and what you would do to match the look (i.e cutting/dying hair, piercings, or tattoos?) and I will send you the first draft of the script.

------------------------------------------------Casting for Student Film (Portland)
I am producing a short student film, of the drama variety, and have two lead characters that I am looking to cast for as soon as I can possibly can. One character, the female lead in the piece, is a young woman in her early to mid 20s who is trying to live with traumas from her past, primarily having been assaulted at a younger age. The other character in the piece is the male lead, also in his early to mid 20s, who finds himself put to the test when he meets the female lead and is put in the position where he has to save her. The piece will take approximately 3-4 shooting days. Any interested talent will need to have a driver's license and access to a vehicle (as required by each character). I have scripted sides prepared to provide to any interested talent along with a brief outline giving further details about the overall production.

OPEN CASTING CALL
Throng
We have many roles to fill, all ages and types -
Once submitted those selected will be sent sides and offered a time to read within our casting days.
Audition slots for "Throng" are filling up fast.
It's an exciting non-union short film that will be produced over the next few months and be out around Christmas.
Throng Synopsis
A group of friends embark on a time-bending and genre-spanning journey in search of the meaning of life. They are pursued by an enemy taking different shapes and forms that adapts to hunt them in each new environment. Ultimately a story about friendship and the meaning of life and death, "Throng" is nonetheless infused with a light heart and powerful comedic sensibilities, ensuring it doesn't broach the realm of melodrama and become a total piece of shit... it's funny!
Casting will take place at our studio located in Vancouver, WA and will begin as soon as Oct 11th.
Production will begin very soon, while there is no pay and this is a NON union project, this will have a fast turn around and you will receive copy and IMDb credit in a VERY timely manner. Our effects teams has already finished work on certain elements that will drive this story forward.

Wonder Woman needed for Sunday Oct 21st
Greetings all -
I produce a huge charity event every year called Women Of Wonder Day, at Excalibur Comics, as a benefit for local domestic violence programs, and have raised over $135,000 in the last six years. It is mostly an art auction, but we also have artists drawing and comic people doing autographs, giveaways, door prizes, and costumed characters for people to take photos with. You can see more at
www.WomenOfWonderDay.com
As the event started out as Wonder Woman Day, we've had a local woman play Wonder Woman every year, in a custom-made costume. She greets people, poses for photos, and interacts with children. She even got a brief appearance in the documentary film Wonder Women: The Untold Story of the American SuperHeroine, making rounds in film festivals now prior to its PBS debut in the spring.
This year, we unexpectedly find ourselves in need of a woman to play Wonder Woman.
She needs to be 5'9"-6" and in good shape to fit the costume and character.
She needs to have a fun demeanor, interact well with kids, and be comfortable in the costume.
We have the wig, the full costume (including boots), and even some enhancers if one is not particularly busty.
She would need to be at the event from 11:30-6:30, and "on" from 12-6, on Sunday, October 21st.
It is NOT a paying gig; 100% of all monies goes directly to Bradley Angle for Domestic Violence programs.
Here is a photo:

If you think you have what it takes to be Wonder Woman for a day, please drop me a good photo or two, one showing your basic (clothed) body size, and shoe size. Any visible tattoos would need to be covered.
Thanks,
Andy Mangels
