Feature Film seeking crew

Apr 13, 06:41 PM by Kate Taylor

Carey Films Ltd is in pre-production on its low budget feature film The Spell and is now recruiting crew. The following crew members are being sought for the production which is due to start shooting on 30th June for four weeks: Camera Assistant, Focus Puller, Digital Image Technician, Gaffer, Make-Up Designer, Wardrobe/Props Manager and Continuity Supervisor.
Based on a true story, The Spell tells the story of Jenny, a girl who finds herself unwanted by either of her separated parents during the formative years of her life and leaves home at the earliest opportunity. However, live-in boyfriend Rick’s associations with witchcraft and black magic soon take her down a path which leads to the most horrific experience of her young life. She seeks help from friends, doctors, psychiatrists and religious leaders but finds only scepticism and disbelief. Finally, from the confines of a mental hospital, she finds the help she needs but it comes from an unexpected source.

The film is to be shot in and around Leeds so people located in West Yorkshire would be ideal but, if necessary, we can arrange accommodation in the Leeds area and/or pay travel expenses for people coming from elsewhere. Principal photography is scheduled to start on Monday 30th June and to last until Saturday 26th July. Although this is a very low budget film, in addition to food, travel expenses and accommodation (if needed), Carey Films is able to offer to all crew members 50% of BECTU freelance minimum rates in cash (between £240 and £360 per week depending on the role) with the other 50% being deferred into a pro rata share of revenue earned by the film. The film is to be shot using a RED 35mm digital cinema camera and will subsequently transferred to 35mm film if necessary although it is expected to be released in the UK utilising the digital screen network established in cinemas around the country by the UK Film Council.
