Filmaka, in collaboration with General Motors Corporation, the world's largest automobile manufacturer, to run a new contest. Up to 7 finalists will receive $5000 each!.
We want your pitches for shows that will feature some of GM's new vehicles. They are not looking for a traditional commercial, but instead for an engrossing story in which a GM vehicle plays a memorable part. Submit a detailed written synopsis of a film 3 – 5 minutes in length, with 4-5 more episode ideas intended to total around 30 minutes of original webisodic content that can live on its own and potentially be viewed as "pilot" material, as well as your creative extension and distribution recommendations.
From these finalists GM can choose pilots to put into production and provide the appropriate vehicles for the shoot. A complete list of the vehicles GM wants to feature, and more info on the contest can be found http://www.filmaka.com/gm/ on our site.
We will start accepting submissions (in pdf format) in the middle of next week. Submissions must be in by MARCH 11th – so get cracking!
There is a brand new website – Independent Films Direct - dedicated to promoting global independent film and independent filmmakers (directors, writers, boom operators, actors, P.A.'s, every person and any business involved in low budget films). The site is dedicated to promoting indie films and filmmakers that are not getting critical exposure on other websites. The site is devoted to the underdog films/filmmakers, particularly micro-budget films looking for an audience, for a theatrical distributor, or a spike in online sales.
My fellow actors and friends,
I am currently designing a website for actors to display thier
headshots, bio and resumes for free.
My programmers and I would be greatly assisted by having actual
headshots, bios and resumes to work with.
When we go public with the site, your profile with premiere with it.
If you are interested please send me the following items:
1) Headshot (.jpg is best)
2) Bio
3) Resume
4) Agent Contact info (if you have an agent - my site will not cut
agents out of the loop. I am VERY agent friendly)
5) Permission in the body of you email for me to post your likeness and
information online.
6) No one under 18 years of age at this point. Sorry, later when we are
operational yes, but now... no.
Pass this on to all the actors you know. The more info I have to work
with, the better our search engine will be designed.
Thanks,
Dan Harville

Exit Only Inc. E.X.T.O.
$0.41
May brought us the first look at Exit Only's new Vehicle Web-marketing
solution. The concept of marketing new and used vehicles through the web
is not new. However, allowing sellers to post there vehicles at no
charge and no hidden fees, is new. Now sellers are only paying for the
contact information of actual interested buyers, and at only $2 per lead.
Interest Highlights:
- Canadian response to the new site far exceeds the company's
projections.
- The marketing teams projected year end numbers were surpassed 4 months
early.
- Exit is now expanding the site to enter the US market.
- News in the last few weeks has released partnership agreements with
several online vehicle service sites for increased exposure.
- In addition the site is now providing Mobile access, delivering
sellers contact information of potential buyers right to their cell
phone.

instantly put this new company on the map. For more information on Exit
Only Inc. contact your financial websites.

Airline workers among 18 people charged with drug trafficking at JFK
---- NEW YORK -- Eighteen people, including 10 airline workers at New
York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, appeared in federal court
Tuesday on international drug smuggling and distribution charges. The
drugs were hidden in luggage on international commercial flights from
the Dominican Republic to JFK, the complaint alleges. Once the luggage
arrived, it was relocated to a "safe" area, hidden from law enforcement,
it says. While the diversion was taking place, the defendants used
lookouts to watch for law officers.

Child's Scrape Turns Into Critical Situation --- MRSA Strain
Hospitalizes Child ----- MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- A simple scrape on the
knee turned into a superbug and has landed a 5-year-old Nashville girl
in the hospital in critical condition. Doctors said the infection that
the child caught is called Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus,
a tough name for a tough strain of drug resistant infection now known as
MRSA. "(She was) a simple child playing, having fun. She falls down and
scrapes her knee," said father Julian Clemmons. That small scrape on the
knee last Tuesday put Julianna Clemmons in the hospital by Friday.
"She's been under care and dialysis, ventilator and plasma exchange,"
said Clemmons. While it.s rare, what.s concerning to health officials is
that it's turning up more often. The Centers for Disease Control said
there were 94,000 cases of MRSA in the U.S. in 2005. "What has emerged
is an organism that lives predominantly in hospitals until now.
