*AHEM* So waitasecond, you want a buncha people to come out and bust their tushies so you can hope to get a slick little "action reel" piece to land you some industry work? And you DON'T PLAN ON PAYING these people?! Seriously, what are they gonna get out of it -- it's a director's reel, fool! Yeah, it's hard times for everybody right now but for jeezas sake, have a conscience, friendo. None of these people you want for the project will get anything out of working on a showpiece for your work -- it's a dead end project for everybody but you and the actors. For reals. You can go and tell that, homeboy.
Original post:
Great opportunity to work with an experienced director on a short ACTION SCENE teaser for Director's reel.
One evening shoot Sat 1/22/11 from 7pm to 1am, to be shot in Santa Clarita. No pay on this particular shoot; however this shoot will be the demo for future actor‚s reel shoots that will be paying projects. This will be a great opportunity to gain experience and earn a credit with a valid job title that might help you get add‚l work.
1ST ASSISTANT CAMERA (1ST AC) - Responsible for setting up camera, lenses & filters and pulling camera focus as it is shooting.
PRODUCTION SOUND MIXER / BOOM OP - Responsible for recording all sound during filming (equipment provided by the producers.)
KEY GRIP - Help set up location as needed; in charge of operating the camera dollies and camera cranes.
PRODUCTION ASSISTANTS (PAs) - Two production assistants needed. If you don‚t have the specific skills described in the key crew positions but want to learn some or all of these, being a PA is the way to go. You will be exposed to all aspects of the production process.
No pay. Credit and copy will be provided to all cast and crew.

Please email your contact info, resume or note of relevant experience asap. Thanks!

Unpaid crew wanted
Date: 2011-01-14, 4:01PM PST
Hi. I have no money and an unfinished script. I would like to waste the time of talented actors and crew like you by asking you to spend 8-12 hours with me and my friends trying to make a video that maybe we'll put on YouTube or enter into a film festival or something. There's no money now, of course, but maybe we'll get lucky and maybe someone will give us money later and maybe if we're in the mood we'll share it with you.
Also we might hire you for stuff later if you're cool and easygoing.
Of course you need to have experience and thousands of dollars worth of equipment. Also if you don't have a reel showing stuff that's been on network TV don't bother applying.
I'll tell you more once you apply and then I'll send you to a cool website that me and my friends set up so you can fill out our cool online questionnaire and waste more of your time. Then we'll probably interview you or something at a Starbucks maybe if we feel like it.
Don't worry about reading the script; I can assure you it's way cool. Also we have an A-list star lined up that I sat next to on a plane once that said he might be interested in doing something with me once I told him how cool this project is so we'll definitely get into Sundance and probably get distribution after that.
Let the bidding wars begin!
Also let us know if you can cook or something and it would be great if we could all chip in and bring snacks and stuff. The script is mine, of course, and I won't be changing a word of it never but this will definitely be a group effort.
copy credit meals waste of your time

If you post here looking for crew, and you operate a legitimate production company, you should be willing to disclose your name and the name of your production company and provide a link (imdb or website). Do you expect someone to tell you in a cover letter how much they would love to work for you or your company when they have no idea who you or your company are? I would never submit names of references to anyone who wishes to remain anonymous. Unfortunately, many "producers" and "production companies" that post on craigslist refuse to disclose who they are. This is unprofessional. Period.

Seeking Academy Nominated Director
Date: 2010-12-26, 12:23PM PST
Searching for Academy Nominated Director
Established Producers are seeking an Academy Award Nominated (not winning though) Director to direct our "brilliant" screenplay. We have name talent attached... just so you know that we are serious. Hint: Bobby De Niro's 3rd cousin, someone that claims to be related to the Busey family, and a girl that says she knows Brittany Spears from her dad's old ice cream shop in Venice Beach, from a few years ago, before he closed it down. Just to name a few.
Our producers have made such shows for Lifetime Channel, such as "Coyote Club: Old & Sexy", "Large Depressed Family", and "Diner Boyfriend Drunk". Lifetime didn't air the shows, but they did think about it. All trailers/teasers are available on the prestigious YouTube. One of the producers is from the Big Apple and the other is from some school in Salt Lake City that nobody really cares about- meaning Big Time! So we will only accept SERIOUS INQUIRIES!
This an UNPAID INTERNSHIP POSITION. You will receive IMDB credit, some food and make great contacts! Only Academy Nominated Directors may apply. The film must be shot in 24-hours, our script is as good as "Paranormal In-activity", and we must be able to use your house and maybe your girlfriend's house as locations for shooting.
This will be shot on the Red One, because our so called cinematographer knows absolutely nothing about exposing film. He does assure us that it will look just as good as "Public Enemies". Everybody is doing this project because they really care.
Location: Hollywood!
Compensation: Great Contacts and more IMDB Credits! Future work with A-List Talent and New Yorkers!

Need someone to do EVERYTHING!!!
Date: 2010-11-29, 11:10PM PST
Hello, i am a god-like filmmaker and i would like to offer you the opportunity to work with me. I will let you write, storyboard, direct, produce, executive produce, lighting, camera, scout, cast, act, vo, fight choreograph, perform the stunts, write the soundtrack, edit, and color. Along with a few other tasks as craft service and some pa work, like running the office, answering the phones, pick ups/drop offs and those simple things. This will not be paid of corse, but you will be working with me, an honor in itself! If interested, please send your resumé (cover letter mandatory) along with all demo reels and headshot (extra consideration if you resemble tommy wiseau in any way.) must be able to work 10-15 hours a day.
I look forward to you looking forward to working with hollywood legend, me.
(Please people.. we come here to gather what little extra cash we can get to make ends meet. No one wants to work for free. Im a student and a pa, and asking students to work for free for "experience" is insane. no one will be honored to work with you because you have 3 imdb credits, sorry.)

GREAT job offer -- Hollywood
Date: 2010-09-01, 5:08PM PDT
Looking for a great person to do my lawn, dishes, laundry, patch my pants, clean my pool, do my shopping, fix my roof, clean my toilet, wipe my ass, do some construction, cut a few trees down and I need all of this for about 6 months...
There is NO PAY!! BUT, BUT here is the catch... you get copy, credit and perhaps a small piece of a pizza.
Its great to get all the experience if you are a student or new to the hard labor industry.... again... GREAT experience..
I figured since some idiots expect others to work for free in the entertainment industry why not have EVERYONE work for copy credit and meal.?? that's the way we can get free labor all year around...
Location: LA
Compensation: credit copy and MAYBE a meal
