Want A Role In My Movie?
For those of you who watched my live chat last night on UStream, I announced that I’m looking for a few extra roles to fill for the movie I shot in January. Except I don’t want “actors.” I want YOU.
I can’t give away what happens in the film, but I need your help to finish it. Over the next two months, I’ll be detailing several different ways you can do that (so if you prefer not being in front of the camera, that’s ok!). Anyone who chooses to be involved on-camera will, of course, receive credit and more importantly, an invite to the premiere!
First and foremost, I need 5-10 internet savvy folks to make homemade video blogs for me, responding to the BELOW POST (titled The Search for Katie). If you’re not comfortable being in front of the camera, simply comment on the post below (you don’t have to use your real name if you don’t want) or write a blog somewhere about the documentary film that I’m now making and send me the link.
Remember: the post below is not real. It is a fictional premise to the film, which was shot documentary style, following a friend of mine (Liz) on the search for her missing sister (Katie). In the film, Liz has strong evidence that Katie was taken by a cult-like organization. In the opening sequence of the film, Liz and I are reviewing the comments and video responses to my blog post. That’s where YOU all come in. You don’t have to use your real name, or play yourself, just send me a video response to my post.
Maybe you were a former YAC member who doesn’t like this ‘bad press.’ Perhaps you had a family member who joined a cult and you sympathize with Liz. Or maybe you’re just a ‘Taryn fan’ and you want to offer any help along the way. Feel free to be creative – but not too wacky – after all, it has to appear real. My only other guideline is that you cannot be a current member of the YAC. :-) Make sense?
Make sure you upload your videos to YouTube, and send the link to taken@pinkhamsta.com. If you password protect the video, make sure you send me the password so I can view it!
If you have questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below.
Ok I understand you want us to follow the premise of the story and the only guideline is that we cannot be a current member of the YAC. Can we involve more than one person on this in our video? and is there a limit to how long the video needs to be? or can be?

Also I’d lol if you said the whole thing was the work of the “Blue Oyster cult”.

Does it have to be YouTube? Presumably I could send you something on MySpace or something. Like I (my character) wanted to send something for your eyes only or something.
Just a suggestion. :)

Just a quick question. On your twitter it sounded like you wanted people just to record video blogs for your movie at this point. Is that true or could we also post a comment on the post below like you said above.?

If you aren’t comfortable doing a video blog, but you’d like to lend a hand and still be involved, you can post a comment on the post below :)
