AnnouncementsThursday, October 02, 2008AAFilmLab Film Relay 2008 - Casting CallFour Directors. Four Weeks. One feature film. The Feature Film Relay is the inaugural feature length film venture for the Asian American FilmLab (http://www.aafilmlab.org). At the end of four weeks, four Directors will complete shooting a feature length film employing an innovative method of filmmaking and will distribute the film using agile methods fit for the ever changing independent film market. As an Asian American Film Lab production, one of the other important goals of the Film Relay will be to fulfill our mission as a non-profit organization by sharing the experiences and the knowledge that the filmmakers will gain from creating the film with the community. It isn't a film that belongs to one director, or to the AAFilmLab per se, but a film which the Asian American filmmaking community can in a sense be a part of as well. As an actor, this project provides an unparalleled opportunity to delve into the life of a character through four different scripts and four different directors. If you've got the range, the vision and most importantly, the will to participate, you just might thank yourself with four short films and a feature under your belt at the end of the production. Please not that although the main characters have been written, the motivation and interpretation of each character will be unique to each Director's vision and especially to the actors chosen to play them.
The filming is schedule tentatively for November.
