The Found Footage Film Festival: 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!

 Playing now on our YouTube channel: It's the Fall Film Festival ...in January!   After a long delay, we are proud to present the films of our Fall Film Festival .  These six shorts, written and produced by (SW)2 student-artists, are the product of hours of hard work and creativity in the face of ever-changing performance guidelines to start the 21/22 school year.  The teams overcame numerous obstacles on the way to these exciting projects.  We hope you enjoy! - jm
