48 hour Film Festival

The Atlanta 48 hour film project takes place from the 15th to the 17th of June and we're planning on filming a night shoot the evening of the 15th / morning of the 16th. The concept for the film will be a summer camp adventure / 80's kid's movie homage ala Goonies, E.T., Monster Squad, etc. At this point it looks like we'll be filming about 40 mins. north of town, we'll know for sure in two days.

The way the project works is: Our production team arrives for the kick-off event on the 15th and we are assigned a genre, prop, character and line of dialogue. After that we'll spend the afternoon writing the screenplay and assembling the items we need. We'll film that evening then edit the film the next day and turn it in that night. The films will then be screened at the Plaza theater in Midtown on Sunday and the awards ceremony will take place that evening. The rules of the competition state that none of our cast or crew may be financially compensated for their participation, so everyone is volunteering for the film and equally invested in winning the competition.

The winner will go on to compete in the 2012 48 hour project with films from 96 cities around the world and the top ten films selected this year will be screened at The Cannes International Film Festival: Short Film Corner in 2013. We will also be free to enter our film into festival competitions following the Atlanta 48 hour project awards ceremony and each of the children and their parents will receive a copy of the final film.

If anyone has any further questions, they can feel free to email anytime. Thanks again!

Regards,

Brandon

LA ACTING COACH John D'Aquino Workshop Opportunity

John D’Aquino’s On CaMERa IntEnsivE
Atlanta, GA – April 29th 2012
BUILD, CRAFT and ADJUST YOUR PERFORMANCE for the CAMERA

On Camera Intensive Class
Sunday, April 29th, 2012
12:30 PM to 5:00 PM Ages: 12+
Fee: $195.00
Location: Sunday, April 29th, 2012

Hyatt Place Atlanta Buckhead
3242 Peachtree Rd. NE, Atlanta, GA 30305

John D’Aquino, popular actor (Shake It Up, Seinfeld, CSI, Cory in the House, Hannah Montana - IMDB), Disney television consultant and Los Angeles based acting coach, will share his knowledge and help you hone your ability to deliver commanding and believable performances for the camera. All workshop audition scenes will be videotaped and available for you to view on our website (this service is free with website registration).
John’s revolutionary Active Listening Technique Exercises will help you activate your curiosity and use active listening to bring realism to your scene to help you stand out from the competition at an audition and improve auditioning and performing skills for the camera. The camera is a lie detector and sees when we are faking it instead of feeling it. And, whether our character is living in a broad, zany Disney-type comedy or on some subtle brushed, edgy, independent film, the camera demands truth in order for the audience to believe our circumstances. Of course, truth can be painted brightly (Disney and Nickelodeon) or delicately (one hour drama or film) depending on the genre for what we are auditioning, but the theory is the same. Learn how listening makes us better actors!
