Audition Time!

 It's time!

Auditions will begin for the first annual Found Footage Film Festival (the F4) at 200pm on November 11th!  That's tomorrow!

Beforehand: 

-Please read through the scripts you're interested in!  Scripts are linked to the right...

-Make a copy of and return the Audition Form, so the Directors will know a little about what you bring to the table!  Audition Forms are, you guessed it, linked to the right...

Auditions: 

-Check in/log into Zoom anytime between 145pm and 200pm on 11/11 at the following audition link: https://pps-net.zoom.us/j/86424644845

-Open a copy of the Scripts document...you'll need that for readings.

-You'll hang out in the main room during the auditions, and we'll shift you into breakout rooms for your general audition reads two at a time.  Your reads will come from the scripts...but you won't know until you get in the room.  Be flexible!

-After everyone gets a couple of reads, we'll take a break, then start calling individuals and groups into Callback reads as selected by the Directors.

-The Callbacks will be grouped cold readings from the scripts...you'll read at least once or twice.

-You'll be released by 400pm, unless there's something which the Directors really need to see.

Postings/Casting:

-We'll post a set of Cast Lists at the F4 blog by 11:59, 11/11.  We're hoping to use as many actors as we possibly can!

-Directors will also reach out to casts on their own...so be checking your emails!

 The key pre-audition information is now available!  

Please read the scripts and submit your audition form (both available via download through the links to the right) before the morning of 11/11!  We can't wait to get started!

Further audition information, like times and format, will be available here following a Directors' Meeting tomorrow, 11/9.

Hang in there folks...it's almost here!

F4: Updates!

Good day, folks!  It's time to provide all you wonderful people with some updates to the process for our fall project, F4: The Found Footage Film Festival...

We've had to make some timeline adjustments (changes in italics)

Acting: There has been a number of changes to the schedule, for a variety of logistical reasons! We've had to postpone the audition process a bit, and know that there were a number of people who kept this weekend free in order to take part. Thank you! We wouldn't have inconvenienced you without the greatest hesitancy...but we just couldn't, in this time, ready the auditions before next week. If you sacrificed something for prospective auditions...thank you. It means the world...and we apologize from the bottom of our hearts for messing up any plans you might have had. This has been an organizational challenge we've never confronted before, and we know it's been rough. Thanks for your patience.

The new schedule is as follows -

Applications Start: 11/5 (Audition Form will be shared on this page and at the show blog!)

General Auditions: 11/11

Callbacks: Same as Auditions - 11/11

Casting: By end of day 11/11

Production Crewing: The challenge of this time is that we are still uncertain about how we're going to be able to shoot the show, and what role crew members will be able to serve given district group-gathering guidelines. We're going to push as hard as we can for our crew folks to participate, and we're going to take applications to be a part of the process (Applications will be shared on this page and at the show blog)...but unfortunately, that may not be in our hands. We're going to try, though!

Applications Start: 11/5; (Email to southwest.stageworks@gmail.com)

Applications Due: 11/11

Crew Assigned: 11/11

        

        Rehearsal/Shooting

First Read: By end of week, 11/14

Shoot Schedule: Individually scheduled within each group!

Editing

Footage In: 11/21

Footage Cut: 11/28 (or before)

Screening

Final Footage In: 11/28

Screening Cut Together: 12/2
