I'm going crazy without my laptop. It still just says "Unit Shipped to Depot" at the Applecare repair status page.

However, Kathleen helped me think of something I could do without it, so this ad will be going live shortly (update: has gone live) at craigslist:

Seeking crew for dark musical short film
(Tri-State area)

Experienced, festival-award-winning writer/director/composer seeks the following for an 8-minute, black-comedy screen musical:

• DP/cinematographer with HD (or better) and Steadicam (or other moving camera rig)
  
• First AD
  
• Costume
  
• Makeup
  
• Choreographer
  
• Sound recordist
  

I require reels and resumes. If you don't have both, please don't apply. (First ADs, I don't need a reel from you, but I will eventually need references.)

We will shoot in Fall or Winter somewhere in the tri-state area, depending on where we can find a suitable location.

Most modern screen musicals make fun of the genre; we're not going to do that. We love the genre. Our previous musical short is now making the rounds of festival submissions. You can check it (and me) out at: www.woollymammoth.com/credo

I will expect a full commitment to pre-production despite paying you insultingly low wages. Entire budget is $10K. Your department is going to get a proportional piece of that. If you can offer me an "all in" package, so much the better, but it's not an immediate requirement.

TO APPLY: Email me a resume and don't be afraid to ask questions.

If you are a producer who responded to my previous ad, please be patient. I will be scheduling interviews shortly. Thanks.
