Upcoming Audition for Colorado Film School Project!!

2011-10-18T16:12:00.000-07:00

Michael Sharon, a student at the Colorado Film School is producing a short film Twombley. This will be his fourth year film for his BFA in Video Production. Michael and his partner-in-crime, Zach Eastman (Zach is directing), have assembled a really good team and the script is very interesting.

It's a non-paying gig.

They are looking to shoot in mid-February and we expect the shoot to be 3-4 days.

This movie takes place in the 1950's at a small radio station in Denver and is about an older man who is looses his sense of purposes as the world moves from radio to television. The cast is largely made up of white males as white males dominated such work places and segregation was in full swing at the time. We apologize in advance that this excludes many talented actors in Denver from being considered for roles in this project.

They are holding auditions for a few speaking roles this Saturday, October 22nd between 12:00 noon to 3:00. Auditions are being held at the Colorado Film School (9075 East Lowery Blvd. Building 965, Denver, CO 80230).

They are looking to fill the following roles:

Frazier – 18-25, fresh-faced. New on the job
Twombley – 50's, Grizzled radio vet. Alcoholic.
Simon/Feese – 35-50, face for television and a voice for radio (represents what Twombley is not).
Detectives (2) – 35-50, all body types, looks.
Mr. Young – 30-65, producer/station owner type.

Call Michael at 720-891-3303 or Zach 720-284-4163 to schedule a time.

SCRIPT <for visual cues, please refer to the storyboard>:

<Sung>

Hey creative director,

Today’s you lucky day

Because a man named Alex

Paid me to bring his book your way.

Last time you saw his work,

You called it a literary crime

But since then he’s made some revisions

That’ll make this worth your time

‘Check it out, check it out, check it out

Look at his first campaign,

And you will surely see

These headlines are much shorter

And better than they used to be

And in his Tampax campaign

He added a digital piece.

He also says you were right about women

And sorry he offended your niece.

He’s sorry. Sorry. So sorry.

You remember those grammatical errors

In his Toyota long copy ad?

He cleaned those up right away

And he says that they were his bad.

[Singer doesn’t even make it through that last verse before the creative director slams the door. Singer stops in mid-verse.]

TITLE CARD 1: <headline> You don’t need a gimmick. You need NEXT.

TITLE CARD 2: <headline> Applications due 9/2/2011 <CTA> NEXTCreatives.com

Singer <who is speaking now as the title cards are on screen> So, uh, I, I guess I’ll just leave this thing out here?

Footloose – The Musical (June 3 and 4 at 7 p.m. and June 10 and 11 at 7 p.m. as part of Stapleton’s ongoing Theatre on the Green series on the lawn at Founder’s Green.
Like the 1984 Kevin Bacon film that inspired it, Footloose follows the story of Ren (Benjy Schirm), who moves with his mother (LuAnn Buckstein) to a small town where dancing is prohibited by law. Teens will be teens, of course, so Ren ends up at odds with the town and especially the local minister, Reverend Moore (Robert Michael Sanders). Along the way, the characters sing familiar songs from the movie ("The Girl Gets Around," "Holding Out for a Hero," "Let's Hear It for the Boy," "Almost Paradise," and of course the title tune), but the new songs are enjoyable as well.
Admission is FREE to the general public. So kick off your Sunday shoes and get ready to have some rockin’ good fun! Pack a picnic, grab the kids and a blanket and head on over to Stapleton’s outdoor theatre and get foot loose! Located at 29th and Quebec on the Green. No reservations necessary.

Babe the Sheep Pig at the Aurora Fox Theater June 21 - July 21 at 10am. great for kids and adults of all ages the show is approx 1 hour and follows your favorite pig who tries to herd sheep by being kind. 303- 739-1970 (i'm not in it, but I directed it and I'm very proud of these kids)

The Little Mermaid at LIttleton Town Hall Arts Center July 19th, 20th, 21st & 22nd @ 10:00 am, July 22nd & 23rd @ 7:00 pm and July 24th @ 2:00 pm

Master Combat Class: Fighting for Film
Saturday • 1-4pm • Dec 11
Denver Center Theatre Academy
13th & Arapahoe, Denver, CO
1 day • Dale Girard & Geoffrey Kent • $60
This class explores the fundamental skills needed to sell an unarmed fight for the camera. Using a camera and playback system, students will be able to use the video medium to see how techniques are practically applied, what works, what doesn’t, and why. Looking specifically at unarmed sequences for film, this class explores not only the safe way of executing these techniques, but also how the full body is engaged to convincingly communicate the cause and effect of these techniques to the camera. The session will end with the development of a short choreographed routine using the techniques covered in class, which will be taped and played back for review.

DALE GIRARD
Mr. Girard is an award winning Fight Director, professional Stunt Coordinator and author of the stage combat manual Actors On Guard. He is a second degree Black Belt in Taekwondo/Hopkido and Haidong Gumdo, a founding member of the North Carolina Stuntmen’s Association and one of only fourteen SAFD recognized Fight Masters. Recent film credits include “Eyeborgs,” “Pink Triangle", "The Trial", "The Key Man,” “Fall Down Dead” and the critically acclaimed “Junebug.” As a master teacher, Mr. Girard has instructed classes and seminars in stage combat, acting, and dramatic movement throughout North America. Based in North Carolina, he serves as Director of Stage Combat Studies for UNC School of the Arts.

GEOFFREY KENT
Mr. Kent is the President of the Society of American Fight Directors and the resident Fight Director for the Denver Center Theatre Company and the Colorado Shakespeare Festival. Geoffrey also teaches stage combat for the National Theatre Conservatory and the University of Denver. Other teaching credits include North Carolina School of the Arts, The Hartt School of Drama, Louisiana State University, University of Colorado at Boulder, the University of Northern Colorado and Colorado State University.

News from DS-Casting

2010-12-03T11:46:00.001-08:00

As of January 1st, 2011, DS STUDIOWORKS WILL BE DISCONTINUING FREE CLASS AUDITS!

We will be adding to our website a VIDEO AUDIT which will clearly outline WHAT we do and HOW we do it. This video will feature some clips of the work that is being done by the students along with clear explanation by the coaches.

GOOD NEWS - It has been our policy to start every actor in the Monday Night Series, which has often been perceived as a "beginner course", which has discouraged the more advanced actor from attending. THAT HAS CHANGED - Actors who wish to enroll in any of our workshops can now schedule an audition (by appointment). Each actor will then be invited to join the appropriate level upon evaluation of their audition.

So, anyone who wants to take advantage of our FREE MONDAY AUDITS in December, should schedule AN APPOINTMENT ASAP

Intro to Film Acting Class at the Bug Theatre

2010-10-19T17:09:00.001-07:00

From our friend Patrick Sheridan. Contact him for info! Thanks all!

--------------------------------------------------

This Saturday, we're holding the next Intro to Film Acting Class at the Bug Theatre. It's an intensive one-day workshop that gets actors to understand the first goal of film acting is to make an emotional connection to their scene partner. We use clips from some well-known movies to show how the pros do it. From there, we show how actors can surrender to their environment and finally connect to the words on the page. It's all part of showing actors the difference between film acting, acting in commercials, and acting on stage.

The workshop also covers how to deliver a great film monologue, how to excel at the dreaded ‘cold read,’ and how to deliver a great performance during an audition. We practice how 'less is more' on film, and how actors can easily gain comfort and control with the silence and space of 'being in the moment.'

October 23rd from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Class costs $95 and is at The Bug Theatre (3654 Navajo St., Denver).

Thanks,

Interested in a writing class?

2010-10-15T15:46:00.000-07:00

https://lighthousewriters.org/workshop/detail/id/370/

Title:
4 Week: What a Concept!

Cost:
$150.00

Description:

We all begin our stories with an idea; something that has caught our creative imagination and simply will not let go. That's the good news. The bad news? An idea alone does not a story make. This class will help you move from concept to story. What is the foundation of a good story? What do we need to accomplish before we are ready to actually sit down and write? The concept, or premise as some call it, is the place we begin. It is here we determine who our main character is and begin the process of fleshing out the journey they take in pursuit of the compelling reason the story is being told. If you don't take the time to prepare before you begin your journey, you shouldn’t be surprised if you get a half-baked idea trying to pass itself off as a story.

Whether you are writing a screenplay or a novel, are at the very beginning of the trail, or toward the end of the process and are unsatisfied with what you have, this class is a class for you. We will concentrate on developing the best character to tell your story, the central conflict, and the pathway forward, sharing and commenting on each other’s work in a supportive workshop atmosphere and using exercises from John Truby’sAnatomy of a Story to advance the work. By the end of the four weeks you will have a concept document that identifies a clear foundation on which to base your story and a vision forward into your screenplay or novel.

Upcoming Schedules:

October 2010
Instructor: Michael Catlin
Starts: 11/16/2010
Time(s): 6:30 to 8:30 PM

Cost: $150.00 members / $185.00 non-members
Location: Humphries Poli Architects - Conference Room
2100 Downing Street, Denver, CO 80205

Student Film: The push

2010-10-14T11:43:00.000-07:00

Lets try this out.

I've been looking for a good way to present student films to people . Would love feedback on this this idea, either e-mail me comments or critiques.

My name is Mark Higgins and I am a full time film student at the Colorado Film School. We are in the process of looking for professional actors for a student film shoot. Before any worries arise just know that the Colorado Film School is rated one of the top film schools in the nation by the International Cinematographers Guild and our films have been featured in Film Festivals all over the nation so by no means should you worry about our professionalism. We are dedicated and firmly believe that the only thing keeping the film that me and my associates are making from being a renowned short film is decent talent.

We are looking for 5 actors to star in our film Pushed. It's a military thriller that takes place in the cold war in which 2 men are in charge of pressing the kill switch that will launch nuclear war against the Soviets, and it's up to these two men to wrestle with the task of sending millions to their deaths, but the question remains; can they actually go through with it if told to? Here are the main characters.

Mouse: A handsome young captain in the marines who is kidnapped by the military and whose family is threatened into accepting the job of making sure the kill switch is pushed if ordered to. He's the main character, brave but vulnerable and willing to do anything if it keeps his family safe. Age: 20s to early 30s.

Church: a lifelong military man who takes pride in his job of being the man who can send the commies to hell. He feels deeply but hides it very well. He has the best character arc in the script and is the secondary main character with equal screen time to Mouse. Age: 40s.

Agent: He's the puppet master. The man who forced Mouse into this situation. The actor will be silhouetted, mysterious and needs a powerful voice to instill the dire situation that Mouse is in. A small but commanding part. preferable overweight age: Late 40s to 50s.

The Scientists: 2 doctors in charge of the sometimes sadistic medical experiments during the Cold war. Needs a good presence Male of female Ages: 30-40.

Our budget is changing and we are currently looking for grants and loans right now. We can't give you a definite budget but we are holding auditions at the Lobby of the Colorado Film School. Address: 9075 E Lowry Blvd, Bldg. 965 Denver, CO 80230. It takes place from 11 to 4 Friday the 15th. Walk ins welcome. You don't need preparation, we will audition actors based on ability to take direction, fearlessness and ability to get the depth of the character.

If you or any of the actors have any questions call me, Mark Higgins (Director and Co-writer) at (720) 308-0924. Or my Producer R. Mike Lyons at (719) 930-7150.

Thank you very much for your time and we will hope to make a great movie with you guys.

Looking for Slam Poets

2010-10-14T11:41:00.001-07:00

Hey every one!

If you know any one that is into slam poetry????

Heres the spec's:

SPECS-

2 Female:

1 in their early to mid 20’s (college age)

1 in her 40’s, youthful in energy up-to-date (but not hip/cool), feels like she fits in in a town like Ft. Collins, CO or Huntsville, Alabama

We want people with some experience in the slam/freestyle poetry/spoken word world, it’s not a stipulation, but if possible we would prefer these types of performers. We absolutely need to cast people who can take direction well, and we will need to ascertain this during the audition, so we should be open to casting non-union actor talent along with the available slam poets. We need to keep in mind that we’ll most likely have several takes of the scripted spots, in addition to some improvisational work, so the actor route is definitely one to consider. Some experience with improv is required, and definitely some experience with stage work is a plus. Let’s explore some of the improv theatre groups as well as the slam poets as that might offer us a good mix of trained actors who can improvise and be fluid.

Would like to get a good ethnic mix so would love to audition various ethnicities, we will need at least one of our final women to be Caucasian/non-Hispanic. We don’t want to be too urban or grungy. Erring on the side of neat casual is probably best. Dressed down could be a button down shirt or a neat t-shirt and jeans, but let’s steer away from anything too hip or hip hop.

Performance is going to be key, but we also need to ensure characters that our audience (those in B&C counties and our bankers) are going to relate to and represent the brand well. We are looking for approachable, man-on-the-street characters but must keep in mind that it’s their performance of the poetry that is really going to be key to how attention-grabbing the spots are.

We'll give them $1,000 per shoot day plus agency. That will cover all scripts and any versions.
