CALLING ALL CREW!

Hi gang,

I am a Filmmaker and Effects Supervisor in Jersey, USA and we are currently in Development on a P.O.C. short film - hopefully going to be filmed on 35mm and if not then with either a ARRI 35 or SONY FS7 - featuring a young woman and her grandma both with out-of-this-world phenomena. We are going to use practical techniques of over a century on this one. The two women are going to be creature suits with radio controlled animatronic heads, and various other effects and Creature Characters in the script. I am going to be putting the word out soon after we secured financial capital to move ahead into Preproduction and I need a Crowdfunding Campaign Manager for that but immediately after we do I'll need a gang of Special Effects Artists and Craftsmen and Technicians to make the production move forward seamlessly. 

Along with my Art Department's gang, I already built some Concept Set Models and Concept Character Maquettes, plus ran some R&D tests at my house with a friend but much to do still.

How do I know this will be a hit? Call it a gut feeling. On April 15, 2019 my production office gang read an email (see screenshot) from Slated.com the platform we were pitching on for investors that showed we nearly secured $11MM ($11,000,000.00) but much to our horror the investors pulled the rug out from under us which I'll get to that in a second, anything you could think of that could go wrong did and the process of Development slowed to a crawl, that is why the investors withdrew their capital, and it was a devastating blow to us all. Years ago in 2007-2017 my production company DreamFactory Entertainment had the financial capital in our bank's escrow and production account or the production budgets to fly all crew, Above-the-Line and Below-the-Line, to Jersey to work on our productions, but now that's all out the window temporarily, so we would appreciate it if you are living and working in Jersey, and legally able to work on this film, or know someone who is, please let me know.

I'm sure you've heard this cliche day in and day out on plenty of independent films or projects, but it's a great satisfying experience to be part of a film production and art department and effects crew, so much fun and camaraderie. At least with me and my company there is. We are hoping to make it as a feature motion picture provided our Marketing Department can secure the $175,000.00 for the P.O.C. Short Film first.
