Looking for Actors and camera crew!


Hey guys,
I'm currently working on a film project (it's an adaptation of the novel The Graceless that my close friend Asher recently published).

We're now looking for actors, a camera crew, and a director of photography. If anybody would be interested in any of the positions, or if you know someone who might be, you can e-mail the address on the flyer for more info!
Thanks!
-Erica

Also, here's a link to the novel, if interested.

Wall Street Journal

I don't know about everyone else, but I have a list of bookmarks that I check everyday, like webcomics and such. This is one that I would definitely recommend to everyone to check on every once in a while. It's from the Wall Street Journal and it's a blog of their photo section. They have some amazing pictures in there, and good descriptions of what they are too.
Check it out.

Same Hill, Different Day by Paul Octavious

i found this really great phtotgrapher that shoots in a very cool way. i feel it really speaks to fluxus and chance and i really loved some of the images

http://design.org/blog/same-hill-different-day-paul-octavious

Chicago-based photographer and designer Paul Octavious's portfolio is as varied as it is impressive. With projects ranging from gorgeous Record Stills to smoke bomb documentation and aerial stills, he made it difficult to decide on something to share.

But something about Same Hill, Different Day made me smile. The on-going photography and video series personifies and documents the life of a public space. The hill seems to take on different personalities to suit the days events, and the photos highlight changes in weather and capture the beauty where humans interact with the earth.

Dance Assasin

I found this video online and besides being completely hilarious, I think it's a good example of a performance based art. It definitely takes some skill as he can obviously dance, and standing still for a long time is also quite difficult.

Charles Simonds

This guy is amazing.  These video's are kind of poor quality, sorry.  He filmed the landscape one in the clay pits in Sayerville, NJ (about 15-20 minutes away from New Brunswick).  The second is a series he did where he built small houses in random spaces, he used the clay from NJ and only clay, there's no glue or paint, just clay!  I think the only "dwelling" left is in the Whitney Museum.  But don't quote me on that.
