RE: Wardrobe/Stylist for SAG Feature Film (Los Angeles)

Date: 2009-01-05, 9:26PM PST

Does anyone else find it offensive that $1,000 flat (including kit fee) for an 18 day shoot translates to approximately $55.56/day? Even if the day was only ten hours long (which it never is for anyone in the costume department), that would mean $5.56/hour. What about prep and wrap days? Gas? It's obvious anyone expecting any decent work from someone for that rate has no idea what they are doing. Maybe it would be better for this director to stick to reality TV. This is show BUSINESS, not show hobby. If paying a decent rate isn't possible, then maybe it's time to rethink the project. Oh, and one last thing, "Wardrobe" is an old theater term, applicable to theater ONLY. The correct name for the department is Costume Department. The head of that department is the Costume Designer; and a stylist is a completely different job.

Wardrobe/Stylist needed for ultra low budget SAG film. THIS IS A RE-POST AS WE HAVE YET TO FILL THIS POSITION. IF YOU'VE PREVIOUSLY APPLIED PLEASE RE-APPLY.

THE FILM STARTS SHOOTING THIS UPCOMING SUNDAY for 18 DAYS THROUGH JAN 31st. REPLY ASAP AS WE NEED TO HIRE SOMEONE IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO.

The film is set in modern day los angeles, and is about the dynamics between dating friends.

There are the main characters all in their late 20's early 30's and the style of the film is natural, yet a little edgy and hip.

We don't have much money for rate or purchases, and a lot of the job will be helping the actors choose their wardrobes from clothes they already own, as well as some light shopping.

The film is the first feature of a director on a current network reality show.

The total rate for the whole shoot (18 days) is $1000.00. We understand this is extremely low, but the type of person we're looking for is an assistant who has some experience, but is looking to break out of the short film world and in to features.

Please respond asap with a link to your portfolio or website and don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Thanks.

We're really looking for someone who is young and hungry.

* Location: Los Angeles
* Compensation: 1000 Flat for entire film and kit fee
