Casting Notice

Casting Notice - SAG/NonSAG Indie Film

Breakdown: MASSI: Late 20s/Early 30s. Note: this character is written as being Italian, but we are open to other nationalities (French, Quebecois, Spanish, etc) An authentic foreign accent is a requisite. Lana and Kate's upstairs neighbor. Although Massi looks the part of the hunky ex-pat, there is an unusual nerdiness and silliness to him that increases his charm to Lana. He bounces between confidence and an insecure awkwardness. (Supporting, 9 Scenes, 4 Days). PLEASE note for this role that we strongly prefer an actual foreigner. We had a lot of people come audition who thought they could do an authentic accent, but we need a genuine accent (or at the very least someone who is first generation American and can do a convincing accent).   The shoot is April 9-28th. Actor must be an NY Local Hire.   And it's SAG Ultra-Low Budget, so both union and non-union are fine

If you know anyone who might be right, please have them email their materials to me at naomi@underherskin.com. Please ONLY if they're right.  For more more information on the project, please check www.underherskin.com for more information on the project."

Locations Needed for Movies and Television!

Hello everyone,  (These must be in Nassau County)

I am looking for the following locations.  If you have any suggestions, please e-mail both debfilm@aol.com and nassaufilmoffice@nassaucountyny.gov as I will be out of the office both Thursday and Friday.

First off, we’re very excited that Ally Sheedy will be attending the 16^th annual Long Island International Film Expo from July 18 – 25 (barring any work commitments) at the Bellmore Movies.  You can find out more about LIIFE at www.LongIslandFilm.com.

Locations Needed:

1a)For a Twentieth Century Fox movie called "The Other Woman" starring Cameron Diaz and Kristen Wiig. Nick Cassavetes is directing the movie. They are looking for a couple of things. The first is a WIDE BEACH WITH DUNES where they can have the two girls stalking a guy. They're hiding out with binoculars spying on him and his girlfriend. 

1b) The second is what's scripted as a HAMPTONS BEACH SHACK that is under construction. They can make anything look like it's under construction with set dressing but it needs to be a house with interesting architecture.  They are basically looking for a stand-alone house that we would believe is next to or near a beach. It doesn't need to be far out there because nothing in the script ties it to a beach, but it needs to look like a cottage of sorts. Nick asked for one of those places that sit next to a land preserve so the owner can brag that no one will ever be able to build next to him. If you have any suggestions, please e-mail debfilm@aol.com and Nassaufilmoffice@nassaucountyny.gov and reference Other Woman.

2) For television series, Elementary, they’re trying to find these two building (reference photos attached) or any building in Nassau that might look like these.  If you have any referrals, please e-mail debfilm@aol.com and nassaufilmoffice@nassaucountyny.gov and reference Elementary (First two photos).

3) The Black List, For television pilot, The Black List, they're looking for a classic colonial house on a bit of property (so they can build a guard booth), not overly decorated/minimal furniture, but cannot be vacant. What he is really looking for is a brick historical mansion on some property that can be shot both interior and exterior. If you have any suggestions, please e-mail debfilm@aol.com and Nassaufilmoffice@nassaucountyny.gov and reference Black List.

4) For a new feature film called MANIA DAYS - they are scouting for Psychiatric Hospitals to use in the film. Need an interior and an exterior. Interior: classic, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" sort of place. Colorless, metallic, white. Exterior should feel mythical: a huge campus with dark brick, old vines on the walls, foreboding. 

Have included a few reference shots (last three photos) of the exterior as an example. Please send any referrals to debfilm@aol.com and Nassaufilmoffice@nassaucountyny.gov and reference Mania Days.

5) For CBS Television show, The Ordanes, they are looking for an old courthouse.    This is for 3 - 5 days in March.

If you have any suggestions, please e-mail debfilm@aol.com and nassaufilmoffice@nassaucountyny.gov and reference Ordanes.

Thank you.

Best,

Debbie

Locations Needed for Television Pilot

Locations Needed for Television Pilot

Hello everyone,   (These must be in Nassau County)

I’m working on a huge television pilot with a lot of difficult locations.

For television series, The Black List, they need a lot of help:

a)      They need a drawbridge for a massive stunt.  Do we have any other drawbridges besides the one on the loop parkway? They need to have access to it, closing it for significant parts of several days (they’ll work with any municipalities on the days themselves). 

b)      They will need to land a helicopter in a park that is adjacent to suburban houses.

c)       They need a skyscraper building that they can land a helicopter on.

d)      A Military housing looking development

e)      Hospital – film friendly

f)       Need a high level secure area, preferable somewhat modern.  Can be an old medical lab, or something like that.

They need to shoot mid-March through mid-April. If you have any suggestions, please e-mail debfilm@aol.com and reference Black List.

Thank you!

Debbie
