TWO SHORT FILMS SHOOTING IN WILLITS & UKIAH.

Actors Required.

Part of Pistachio Films has moved from the United Kingdom and is now located in Willits, California.   As we Have no actors here we are currently looking for some actors to work with us on two short films we are producing in Willits hopefully in the very near future.

The Visitor.

This is the second of these two shorts hoping to be filmed sometime soon.   This is planned to be film in an apartment in Willits.  It is a short horror film, that will hopefully have a creepy atmosphere providing the scares, rather than gore.  This needs 3 actors, one female and two males, all preferably (but not essential) in their 20's.

Again we hope this film would be shot in around six hours, maybe on two separate days though, as most of it would be required to be shot in the evening.  A small amount of horror facial make up would be required for one of the male characters, hopefully with the actors having some acting experience they would be able to apply the needed makeup themselves.

Crew & Expenses & No/Low/Deferred Pay.

The crew for both of these films will more than likely just consist of myself as cameraman and director, and later editor.  Expenses as always will be kept to a minimum.  The expenses  people working on the film usually pay for themselves are:  travelling expenses, coffee and small snacks (these may be provided).  The films are also expected to be shot on weekends.  We have always tried to do this as we know that as well as ourselves most of the people we work with will be in full time employment, so availability at weekends is essential.

Unfortunately so far none of the people that have worked on our films have been paid, we don't even get paid!   We are hoping to remedy this in the near future.  All of our films will be submitted to television stations and film festivals, there is always the chance of some payment for work later down the line, and we are also working on a DVD of some of our films for sale, to pay previous actors and pay for some future production needs.  We are currently submitting several of our short films to festivals all over the world, as well as hopefully soon trying to get them shown on the local Willits  cable channel.  

We hope to build a small team of actors willing to work with us on our projects as we did in the UK.   We are also looking to expand the company, and are currently looking at funding options, and other ways to bring money into the company  so that myself  and my associate Martainn Russell can do this full time, as well as paying our actors for their time.   But we hope that at this early stage in Willits we will find some talented amateur actors willing to work with us and take the chance of working on some good stories.   With all of us getting the chance of more exposure and payment further down the line.

I can be contacted at the below email address.   And I hope to hear from some interested parities soon.  Please look at some of the more recent works on our site (link below) and if you want to become part of our creative endeavours please contact me at the email address below, and hopefully I can meet with interested actors in the very near future.

Yours
