Lake of Fire-Extras Etc.

OVERVIEW OF PROJECT "Swimming in a Lake of Fire" ("Lake of Fire" for short) is a feature film now in pre-production with a shoot start date of Nov. 2, 2009. The movie is being produced by Michael Vadini Productions and Highway 29, and will be made in the Greensboro area. A micro-budget movie, "Lake of Fire" has a small, undisclosed budget sufficient to complete the picture with the help of actors and crew willing to share our vision and embrace the opportunity to work on a local feature on a deferred or partially deferred payment basis. We are also looking for unpaid EXTRAS and VOLUNTEER GRIPS and PAs!

The movie is from a screenplay by Les Butchart, who is also the producer/director. Lucas Butchart is DP. The movie will be made with the Canon 5d Mark II camera with Canon and Nikon lenses to provide a high quality, hi-def, filmic look. The marketing path will include a local premiere, festivals, and foreign sales.

OUR APPROACH TO PRODUCTION: Highway 29 produces in a very streamlined, efficient way, so every actor and crew person is enormously important to the success of the project. We work hard, move fast, and like to have a blast making movies.

NEEDED - EXTRAS!:
We need unpaid extras for the following scenes:
1) ROADHOUSE PATRONS -- MALE AND FEMALE ADULTS AGES 20-60 (to be shot at the Flatiron Tavern, downtown Greensboro during the day -- dress will be rural south casual/duded up for a night at the roadhouse).
2) PRISON FARM WORKERS -- MALES AGES 20-60 (to be shot outside of town).
3) DINER PATRONS -- MALE AND FEMALE ADULTS, NO CHILDREN (to be shot in Greensboro during the day on a weekend -- dress is rural south casual).
