Tuesday, June 19th AAFL Meeting Details..

PIZZA NIGHT
19 West 26th St. 5th Fl
@ 6:30 p.m.


Ah...pizza. The social lubricant second only to booz. To celebrate our recent successes and to relax a little before the big competition, we thought it would be nice to take a night off and kick our feet up. No agenda.

Well, that's not totally true. PIZZA NIGHT will serve two purposes:

1) Kick our feet up (we aren't total losers). If you'd like to hang out and just mingle with fellow directors, actors, writers, screenwriters, or get to know the AAFL...come on out! Honestly, what do you have going on this Tuesday that beats a pizza social?

2) Anyone seeking a team, or is missing team members for the 72 Hour Shootout weekend, come out to find that special someone. We hate the idea of individuals interested in participating, but don't know enough people to form a team or are missing just one key component. Shootout registration available on site.

For those coming alone, or are shy:
Shy person: "How much does a Polar Bear weigh?"
Stranger: "Uh, I don't know how much?"
Shy person: "Just enough to break the ice. Hi, I'm insert name here."

You can keep that one, feel free to use it ALL NIGHT!

Our heart goes out to out-of-towners who can't join in the fun and networking. Truly. But soon we'll be encouraging you all to start your own AAFL Chapters! AAFL-LA, AAFL-SF etc...a nice thought no?

If you're interested in coming out, please RSVP to (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). Put "Pizza RSVP" in the Subject Heading and just your first and last name in the Body of the email. No guests or (+1's) allowed, anyone interested should email RSVP for themselves. To help off-set costs we are asking for Non-Members and Members alike to pay $2 at the door. Hope to see you there!

Making the Indy Feature - “West 32nd” & “The Motel”
with Michael Kang & Edmund Lee


Michael Kang, Director
“Ever since moving to New York City in 1989, I have been interested
in the Korean American community and my relationship to it. I grew up
in the suburbs of New England and my exposure to the Korean community
was mainly through the church and through the scattered amount of
Korean friends of my parents. When I moved to New York, I found a
rich Korean community that both attracted me and alienated me. West
32nd came from wanting to explore this relationship.”


Edmund Lee, Screenwriter
As a reporter for the Village Voice in the late Nineties, Edmund Lee
investigated the rise of Korean crime groups in New York that emerged
in the wake of the Chinese Tongs that fell in the Eighties. But the
larger story behind these crime groups would find further exposure on
screen in West 32nd. Inspired by the true-life workings of this
hidden subculture, he wrote the script with Michael Kang. It is a New
York drama about acceptance and betrayal, ultimately, a needful tale
about Korean American life.

Tuesday, April 10th AAFL Meeting Details: Susan Shopmaker

The Asian American FilmLab presents

“Casting Workshop with Susan Shopmaker”
Tuesday, April 10th
@ 7:00 p.m.
19 West 26th Street, 5th floor
(b/w Broadway and 6th Ave)

You’ve probably heard that casting is 75% of the work in film production.  Our upcoming Casting Director Workshop is directed to both filmmakers and actors as we will be holding a Semi-Mock casting session with Susan Shopmaker.  Susan Shopmaker has made her mark by casting films such as Party Monster, Short Bus, West 32nd, Red Doors, and The Motel.  There is no other Casting Director who has had more experience casting Asian American feature films that have made it to market than Susan Shopmaker, so we are very excited about having her.  Please don’t miss out. 
6:45 to 7:00 pm: Attendees arrive
7:15 to 8:00 pm: Semi-Mock Casting Session
8:00 to 8:45 pm: Question and Answer with Susan
So what is this Semi-Mock Casting Session?
The AAFilmLab is proud to announce our newest film production “Gimme”, a short film by Son Tran.  Although Son’s script didn’t make the cut for the Writer X Project, the AAFL has decided to use his script for the first of what we hope to be a series of AAFL Internal Development Projects (IDPs).  Nothing fancy, just projects AAFL members can all get behind from pre to post production.  David Hou, our programming Director will be making an announcement at the meeting and will also be seeking people for key production roles.
We will be using the Casting Workshop as an opportunity to begin casting for “Gimme.”  Susan Shopmaker will advise and share her process with us as we try to cast the three lead roles.  We are seeking the following:
Jerry - Young male, early twenties, slightly built. Jerry is a student with a part time job, balancing the different pressures in his life. Still trying to make it in the world he is naïve but resourceful. He is still trying to find the confidence that maturity and experience bring.


Annie - Mid twenties, natural attractiveness. Annie is a native New Yorker with a hard edge, honed through years living in the city and a natural competitiveness. Never one to back down from a situation she has fully entered adulthood but still enjoys being young and single with money.


Marshall - Late twenties, early thirties. Taller, with a good build, handsome in a put together kind of way. Marshall has established himself in the business world. He hates his job but enjoys the privileges that the salary and position brings. He carries himself with an air of bored arrogance and entitlement.
ACTORS, please email headshot and resume to (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).  No hardcopies accepted and email files over 1MB will be deleted.  Type the Name of the Role (Jerry, Annie or Marshall) in the Subject Heading.  A few selected actors will be chosen to read for Susan Shopmaker, although preference will be given to AAFL members (See membership details below).  Not being selected for the Workshop does not mean you will not be considered for the production.  For the workshop we can only see at most 2 to 3 people per role, so we will be holding another casting call in the near future.  Note: If you think you’d also like to attend this meeting you must RSVP as well, just type that you would like to attend in the body of your email.  ALL ACTORS, please bring a hardcopy of your headshot to the event, we will be collecting them to give to Susan.
ALL OTHER ATTENDEES, please RSVP to (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with “Susan Shopmaker” in the Subject Heading and your First and Last name only in the Body of your email.  No other text is necessary.  No guests or (+1’s) allowed.  Individuals must RSVP for themselves.
This event is limited to the first 50 people, so please RSVP as soon as possible.  Actors are really quick about RSVPing, so you Writers, Directors, and others, make sure you don’t drag your feet!

*This is a free event for AAFL members and $5 for Non-Members.  You will have the option to have your fee go towards your membership dues should you be interested in joining.

Regarding Membership:  Dues are only $30/year.  Dues go towards helping us put on more programs like this, it will also help us administer this year’s 72 Hour Shootout.  Speaking of which, membership gives you $30 off the entry fee this year!  So if you compete it’s basically paid for.  Also, you get discounted movie tickets, magazine subscription and a hug from our management team.  We will have a membership rep at the meeting, just ask for them.  Cash or check accepted.

Next Meeting: Tuesday, February 13th - Seeking Films for Screening - New York

Thanks to Linda, Natalie and John for sharing their scripts with us last Tuesday.  Hopefully will see them progress into films soon.  Now, on to our next meeting!  Remember, we meet every other Tuesday. 
One our our active members, Son Tran, recommended a Screening of our films.  A great idea and long overdue.  If you have a film you have completed or are working on, and want to test it with the group, please participate in this next meeting.  Rough cuts, trailers, commercial work, completed shorts etc. are all accepted.  The only requirement is that the film have been completed no more than one year ago.  An important aspect that we have neglected somehat is the ‘workshop’ aspect of our meetings, meaning constructive criticism for each other regarding the work.  This won’t be about seeing the film, we all clap, then on to the next.  This will be more about what we liked and what we thought needed help in all aspects including story, production, performances….
Anyone who wants to screen their film for the group, please email (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with “Film Screening” in the Subject line.  Include the Title, Type (short, feature etc.), Format (Film, DV), and Run Time.  Anyone interested WILL get screened, however depending on volume of submissions may have to spread over a few meetings.
Please email us ASAP to help us with planning the Feb. 13th meeting.  Being the eve of Valentines Day, I can’t promise that those films dealing with love, lust and heartache won’t get priority.  : )

Writer “X” #1 Project Details Announced!

The first running of the AAFL Writer X Project
commenced January 30, 2007 with the announcement of
Writer X story theme and constraints. AAFL member
Kaushik Shridharani is the Executive Producer of this
iteration.

Members submitting a script treatment or screenplay in
the story competition portion of the Writer X project
should:

1. Incorporate this theme: “Taking back what has
already been given,” or some close variant. The
interpretation is up to you! The less literal is
likely to be more interesting.

2. Include at least one female character, as lead or
co-lead.

3. Target a film length of 6-10 minutes.

Submissions are due on 27 February 2006.

FAQ:

Q: What is the cost?
There is no entry fee.

Q: Who decides the winner? What other factors are
involved in the selection?
A: The Executive Producer will make the ultimate
decision and may consult with non-participants. One
other significant factor in the selection process will
be its “producability” as a low-budget film. In other
words, smaller casts, fewer locations, fewer special
effects are all better.

Q: How “Asian-American” should the submission be?
The degree to which the story or characters are Asian
or Asian-American will NOT be a factor in this
iteration of the Writer X project.

Q: What form do I submit in? Does it need to be
properly formatted?
A: Submissions may be either the form of a script
treatment or screenplay. Keep in mind that the story
will proceed through a script development process.
What is most important is that the story should be
completely though.

Q: Who owns the story? Will the writer be compensated?
A: The writer retains ownership of his or her story or
screenplay. However, by submitting an entry, the
writer agrees to permit the production of a film based
on his or her story or screenplay without any
compensation beyond the appropriate credit.

Q: What if I have other questions:
A: Any other questions about the first running of the
Writer X projecct can be directed to Kaushik
Shridharani ((JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)). Please mention
“Writer X” in the subject header.


About the Writer X Project

The “Writer X Project” is a collaboration between AAFL
and a member who will be Executive Producer of a short
film project that seeks a writer. The Executive
Producer commits to the film’s prompt production. AAFL
hosts a competition among members for the winning
script treatment or screenplay as well as a workshop
during that script’s development. The winning writer
gets an opportunity to gain a writing credit as well
as experience the script development process.

The Executive Producer in this first run of Writer X
is member Kaushik Shridharani, who will also act as
the film’s Director and Producer.

Any member who wishes to make a commitment as the
Executive Producer in the next running of the Writer X
Project should send an email to (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
