i am a sruggling actor living in north east PA.  i have been speaking
with several agents for the past year now and now for some reason they
are no longer taking my msgs and in some cases their services has been
disconnected, so i am guessing that they are being affected by the
economic times as well as everyone else.  this means that i have lost
all connections to finding work to do tv/films and i would need to
start over, any suggestions out there, i am still trying to reach some
of the bigger agencies but with no luck, and i am running out of ideas
here and i am unsure of what to do next.....any help will be greatly
appreciated.

This week Dr. Seuss'original Grinch will swoop in and steal the Holidays on the
big screen at
the Academy of Music for three days only; Friday December the 26th, Saturday the
27th, and
Sunday the 28th at 3:00pm. Boris Karloff stars as the narrator and Chuck Jones
directs this
1966 animated TV Holiday tradition. Do not miss your chance to soak up the
Holiday spirit
and the magic of the Academy of Music in beautiful downtown Northampton.  All
children
under 12 are free.  Children must be accompanied by an adult. For grown up
tickets go to
CaboTIX.com or call 413/582-1332.  For more information go to CaboTIX.com.

We are looking for a completed, feature length dark drama or gritty
thriller scripts which involve a hardened male character (24-28
preferred but not required) who interacts with a young, "weird and
independent but interesting and bright" 11-13 year old female
character, i.e. something in the vein of "The Professional," "Sling
Blade," "Taxi Driver," or "City of Lost Children." The male character
in the story should have enough moral sense to not hurt the child,
and should learn something from the kid as the story unfolds, perhaps
even becoming a mentor to, and then later becoming mentored by the
child character. We especially favor stories where the communication
between the main characters takes place more through body language
than dialogue, such that the acting is more in the eyes and less in
the conversation. And we're especially interested in a hard, gritty,
dark role for the female character. Budget for this project will not
exceed $1.5 million. WGA and non-WGA writers may submit.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


AMHERST CINEMA TO RUN SERIES “FILM AND ’68 – HOT AND COOL”

Marks 40th Anniversary of 1968 with Films and Audience Discussions


          Amherst, September 15  -- Starting on
Monday, Sept. 29, the Amherst Cinema Arts Center
will be presenting an eight-week retrospective of
films that capture the essence of 1968, one of
the most turbulent years in western history since World War II.
               “This retrospective, which we’ve
named “Film and ’68 – Hot and Cool,” presents a
sampling of films that mark the legacy of 1968,”
said Carol M. Johnson, Executive Director of the
Amherst Cinema. “From Paris to Chicago to
Vietnam, 1968 was a year of tremendous hope and
violent dashing of hopes. The upheavals of 40
years ago radically transformed the social and
political landscape and changed film culture, too.”
              Johnson said the eight films
selected (see list below) were chosen from a list
of over 100 films because they were
representative of the era. “The films invite
audiences to consider lessons learned from
movements for radical change,” she said.
“Collectively, the films also mark a major
departure from the classic Hollywood film genres that preceded them.”
              All but the final screening will be
shown in 35mm. “Seeing these films in 35mm on the
big screen is not to be missed,” Johnson added.
              The film series will run on
consecutive Mondays from Sept. 29 through Nov. 10
at 7 p.m.  Monday evening screenings will include
introductions by Five College film faculty and
post-film discussions led by these film experts.
Second showings of each film are scheduled for
consecutive Wednesdays at 2 p.m.
              The final show of the series is a
one-time DVD showing of the latest work by
contemporary filmmaker John Gianvito, who will be
present for the screening. This show is scheduled
at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 19.
              In terms of style, the films range
from the surreal science fiction favorite, “2001:
A Space Odyssey,” to the intensely controversial
“Hearts and Minds,” a critique of the Vietnam
war.  Michael Antonioni's loose narrative
"Zabriskie Point" features the music of Pink
Floyd and the Grateful Dead.  “Medium Cool” mixes
love and the relevance of protest at the 1968
Democratic Convention. Jean-Luc Godard's "La
Chinoise," was eerily prescient about the student
uprisings which followed the film’s release.
              The series helps fulfill the mission
of the Amherst Cinema to serve as a “cultural
crossroads” for the region. “This is a place
where all generations can meet. Whether you are a
film lover, academic or student, our
state-of-the-art cinema is an ideal location to
see film as it was meant to be seen, and to
exchange ideas, Johnson said.  “And to be entertained in the bargain.”
                  Film and ’68 – Hot and Cool is
presented in cooperation with the film studies
seminar on 1968 and the Social Change
Colloquium:  1968 at UMass Amherst, along with
other events in the Five College area.

Hi all. I am currently doing some research for a documentary I am
planning to film in the fall. It would help me a ton if you could fill
out this one minute survey.

www.dcsouth.com/stiffed

Also, if you are interested in learning more about and working on the
film with me, send me an email.

Hi everyone,

I recently moved to Springfield for work. I was in Atlanta the past 4
years for college and frequently visited the art theater nearby for
foreign language and independent film. It's nice to see that there's
actually a group for this in the area. I'd love to attend screenings
and get to discuss after the viewing. I don't really know anyone in
the area, so I'll be looking forward to meeting people with similar
interests as well.

I am writing because I am new to the group.  I also just moved to Amherst to work at UMass from St. Louis, though I am from NY originally.  I am a big movie fan from box office hits to independent films.  I usually try to see all of the Academy Award nominees before the awards.

 

I am also looking forward to meeting some new people!

Stacey

Hello everybody -- I was wondering whether any of you might have
information about this year's Northampton Independent Film Festival
(NIFF)?  It is my understanding that Kate will no longer be serving as
Director of Programming, and I just tried calling the NIFF main office
and learned that the phone had been temporarily disconnected(!) -- any
news or information would be greatly appreciated (I had served on the
screening committee last year, and had hoped to do so again this year..)

best wishes,

Linda

Hi everyone,

   My name is Michael Young and I am not only new to the group, but new to Northampton. I am on the faculty at Smith. I am looking forward to the discussion and meeting the people the group has to offer. I am interested in learning more about film making, as I currently have ideas about making a documentary, but not so much experience and/or equipment. I hope to hear from ya'll.

 

Thanks for having me.

Dr. Michael Young
