Seeking Extras and Supplies

Casting_call

We're currently seeking extras to be in our student short film at College of the Canyons. Shooting days will take place May 7th and May 8th on the COC campus in Valencia. We are looking mainly for extras who look 18-25 and can play military or technical personnel. We'll also need a few people to play older roles, such as instructors and higher ranking  military officers.

We also need the following supplies:

  • Knee and elbow pads
  • Hockey and Footballs
  • Nerf Guns 

All supplies will be altered, painted and only returned upon your request.

 If you are interested please send an email to ben.james.andrews@gmail.com

While our initial budgeted goals have been met, we will continue to accept sponsorship (mininum $10 for your name in the credits) to help cover any additional costs that may arise and to start planning to pay film festival submission fees. Again thank you for your support, the Antelope Valley has proved to be a supportive environment for student filmmaking, and social media next-working (especially on ilivetoday.com) has proved to be an invaluable tool for our fundraising efforts.
Sincerely,
Ben Andrews

A Great weekend in San Diego

Trekked down to SD for the weekend to celebrate my wonderful GF's Birthday. Saturday starts at the San Diego ZOO! I document via cellphone pictures and video :)


We start by hopping on the zoo-bus, first sight: flamingos!

Next up: a proud lion!

 

Elephant Odyssey 

Warthog.

Giraffes, and a baby giraffe!


Komodo Monitor

Snake Video:

 

Some sorta lizard that i thought was neat.

Sleepy Polar Bear

Polar bear eating video:


 

Pandas

Gorilla.

Lion enjoys a blood-popsicle.

Leopard drinks some water.

Camels chilling.

2nd time around checking out the giraffes, and the baby!

Koalas. Did you know they sleep 22-24 hours per day? After the zoo we headed downtown for dinner at Buca De Beppo! After being stuffed with great pasta we wander the gaslamp district of San Diego.

Came across awesome graffiti!

Day

Night

Picked up a new record for $10 at Urban Outfitters. Planning on playing it at VINYL NIGHT weds :)

After a full Saturday and a good nights rest, we hit the local marshalls for a bit of shopping. I found a great pair of levis blue jeans for $20 :) Grabbed some lunch at Jamba Juice and went on one last adventure to the hang glider port on the coast.

The only thing that could've made the weekend better, is if it could've lasted longer!
