WKSHP: October 19, 2005

AAFilmLab Workshop: October 19, 2005

Real Autumn in New York is fast approaching. If you’re anything like me, that means it’s time to work. Come hell or high-tide, the AAFilmLab is committed to getting work out in the coming New Year.

We’re looking for works to showcase in an upcoming Short Film Screening to be held in 2006 so all members should dig up those films you’ve always wanted to screen and contact us. All others on the brink, there is no better time than now to take that first step - we’re here to help. Pre-production will begin for the first short to be released in 2006. All writers should be preparing for the next competition which is slated for January ‘06.

We have an editing workshop coming up in the next few months. If you’re interested in attending this introduction to editing, please let us know. There is also another Roundtable in November which I’m sure you’ll all be delighted to attend. All details are forthcoming.

Upcoming Workshop: 10/19/05

  • Script formatting - we will discuss basic screenplay format
  • Script workshop - we will then critique a script
  • Announcements - more details on upcoming Shorts Screening

Film Synopsis:

cut out a small part of his world for his own indulgence.

Casting:
Jason Park | 30 - 40 yrs. old | East Asian-American

- handsome, aggressive, shameless, amoral

Please send digital headshots and resumes to

We will provide all travel, meals, and lodging (as necessary). Film
credit and a DVD copy of the film will be provided.  The project is a
low budget short film, so no pay will be provided.

The film is an opportunity to gain experience, work with a fun,
professional production staff and crew, and the possibility to work on
other projects in the pipeline.

Only serious submissions need apply.  Non-actors are most welcome!

AAFL WKSHP Fieldtrip: 10/5/05

AAFilmLab Workshop: October 5, 2005

Last meeting, the documentary filmmakers for “New Year Baby” graciously sat down with the AAFilmLab to discuss some of their experiences in getting their film made. We were very grateful for the first hand knowledge they shared with us and at the same inspired by the dedication and kind of commitment they were willing to give to a project they believe in - we should all be so lucky. Please thank them personally for those of you who were able to make it to the RoundTable, and if you’re interested in the documentary and would like to know more about it, go to www.newyearbaby.net.

Upcoming Workshop: 10/5/05
It’s time to break away from the doldrums, this meeting the AAFilmLab will be going on a little field trip.  We’ll be watching “Thumbsucker” at the Union Sq Theater at 7:20pm. There will be 5 free tickets available - RSVP by high noon tomorrow and a ticket is yours. Your timely reply will be rewarded with a meeting time and location.
