Collaborative Movies. Under the Iron Sky needs your help, Frankfurt.
Mai 5th, 2010 • Movies, We like
In 1945 the Nazis fled to the moon. In 2018 they are coming back – this is the plot of one of the most exciting movie productions right at the moment, ‘Iron Sky’. The Finnish feature-length comedy science fiction film, directed by Timo Vuorensola and produced by Samuli Torssonen, will be in cincemas in 2011. And it is far more than just an ordinary movie production.
‘Under the Iron Sky’ is one of the most promising new movies of participatory cinema – projects in which producers have invited everyone interested in joining in with their ideas and creativity. Cinema enthusiasts can also attach media to their shots.
‘Iron Sky’ is not the first collaborative movie. Its predecessor ‘Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning‘ was one of the most successful Finnish movies ever (with a Creative Commons License). Currently at least three more major collaborative movies are being produced (e.g. ‘A Swarm of Angels‘). And these productions have grown to a serious size by now. With a well known international cast (Udo Kier plays the evil German again) and major, professional shoots. If you are as interested in the project as I am, subscribe to the team’s blog, Facebook page or follow them on twitter.
‘Iron Sky’ needs your help
I really want to support the guys. Now is the time to do so and you can join in. At least when you live in Germany and/or Frankfurt am Main. On April 26 Janos Honkonen left this post on the Iron Sky’s collaborative platform ‘Wreackamovie’.
We are shooting part of Iron Sky in and around Frankfurt am Main for about 4 weeks starting about mid-September this year. Together with our German partner 27 Films Production we are now starting to hire crew, actors and other services needed in the Frankfurt area.
And with this we would like your help!
You probably know more people there than we do. If you are not the person we are looking for, please spread the word around. We are looking for example the following.
- Experienced film professionals to work for 27 Films in various positions in different departments.
- There are also crew positions, which do not necessarily require previous experience in the film business. Common sense, good attitude towards working hard, ability to work in a group and knowledge of the local area are essential. These positions could be for example drivers, assistants, etc…
- Professional actors for smaller roles, which have not been cast yet. Fill in the form below and attach your CV, link to your photo or video materials, etc.
- For smaller roles we are also looking for actors without professional experience. These are mainly roles without dialogue. In addition, you can also volunteer as an background extra.
- Catering services for 20 days for approximately 60 persons per day (breakfast, warm lunch and a lot of sandwiches, coffee, tea, etc. all through the day).
- Good contact for hiring a lot of cars and vans for the production (or getting them through sponsorship).
- Part of our crew comes from abroad; so if you know of reasonably priced, good quality accommodation, or maybe own a hotel or hire apartments yourself, please let us know.
- Sponsorship ideas for example for set design and prop making materials, catering needs, cars or what ever you think might be useful – LET US KNOW!
Many of you live in Frankfurt am Main. Many of you are creative, interested in such a project, or be able to support the project somehow. Help the guys here and become part of one of the most exciting new movie projects – or share the information.
I hope to see you in september in Frankfurt am Main.
