Although principle photography is complete and the film is now in the
third round of editing, there's still a ton of exciting work to do on
the film including some amazing computer effects shots.

In fact, we've barely scratched the surface in this project and there
are still a lot of plumb assigments waiting to be assigned to
talented, ambitious artists and technicians that want to show Dork of
the Rings audiences and investors what they are capable of.

All positions require reliable persons with a sense of commitment to
completing tasks. We're not asking people to dedicate their lives to
the project--you can commit to as much or as little as you like.
Furthermore, you'll find a great degree of creative freedom working on
Dork. It's a great opportunity to make your mark on a very cool
project and get your work in front of audiences at the same time.
