Wanted: DP for Independent Film in San Francisco

[bigdaddyral]

I will be shooting a 5 minute trailer to present at investment meetings for a feature length independent film I'm producing. It's a romantic gross-out comedy called The Towel Boy that will be shooting in San Francisco. You can learn more about the project at:

I'm looking for a DP with one or more RedONE cameras to work with me to shoot the trailer and hopefully the film itself. The trailer shoot will be at the end of November and will be a fast paced 3 day shoot.

I'm looking for a bright polished image like that in films like American Pie, There's Something About Mary, and The 40 Year Old Virgin. I really want to "Wow!" potential investors with the quality that can be achieved on a micro budget.

The film is going to be very funny and pushes the envelope for gross-out humor.

If you're interested please post a link to some of your RedONE work or, if you have footage you don't want to post here, you can email me at aguilar dot raul at blindspotfilms dot com.

I know that postings like these can be a crap shoot, so I really hope that some of you are interested. And if you have any questions, let me know and I will be happy to answer them privately or in this thread.

The film's concept is commercially viable and, if done well, I believe it has a real shot at success. Thanks for your time.

Is this a paid job or a Pro-bono deal?

 

[bigdaddyral]

My apologies, Evin. The trailer shoot is unpaid and the film shoot pay will be determined by the amount of financing we are able to secure.

Thanks for your enlightenment.

Bumping cause it's been a few days.

What do you have for lighting?

 

[bigdaddyral]

Hi Tenshredd, I have access to Lowel DP kits, some Arri 1Ks and 5ks, and some Kino Flos. I also may be able to rent a fully stocked grip truck from a local guy that includes a large lighting package, dolly, etc, etc. But I'm trying to keep that as a last resort.

Bumping since it's been a while.

I apologize to those I haven't contacted yet. I've been swamped with casting.

That being said, I should mention I'm looking for someone in the Bay Area as I can't afford the cost of travel and lodging.

I'm financing this shoot with my day job paycheck.

Thanks for listening and I hope to hear from you!
