CREW NEEDED IN OFFALY
A documentary film (directed by Oonagh Kearney and produced by John Kelleher) under the Reelart scheme funded through Filmbase and the Arts Council will be shot in Charleville Castle, Tullamore and Tullynally Castle, Westmeath at the end of September. They are looking to source local crew where possible and need the following experienced people.
- Production assistants and runners
- Personal assistant to the director who could also work as a script supervisor/continuity person
- Hair and Makeup person
- Experienced 1st AD's
There will be a (modest) payment for the bigger roles, but unfortunately they are not able to pay the trainee's. It will be an opportunity to work with a really great crew though and even if people can only do one of the weeks.
If you are interested or know of anyone local who would be, please contact Dave Clarke on davidpeterclarke@gmail.com
