Filmmakers

TEAM 1: DOCUMENTARY

A short documentary film about the making of The Crypt Project: New Depths.
The Crypt Project: New Depths is a new play, devised by the company of professional actors around the theme of addiction. It will be part of Re:play 2012 underneath The Quays Theatre at The Lowry in association with The Library Theatre.

About the play
A promenade play inviting the audience to take an immersive, sensual journey into the realms of addiction, inspired by true stories. Weaving through the undiscovered depths of The Lowry's underground chambers, this 360 degree experience is an unforgettable glimpse into our hidden worlds.

We are looking for a documentary-making team to include the following roles:
DIRECTOR
PRODUCER (can double as director)
SOUND
EDITOR
CAMERA

Professional experience is not necessary, a professional attitude is! We will be looking for people who are creative, dedicated and passionate about making this an exciting documentary charting the creation of this extraordinary show.

You will be required to attend and film some rehearsals in Manchester/Salford between mid December and mid January depending on availability. This will be down to the producer/director to coordinate.

These are voluntary positions. Many artists who have been involved in our productions as volunteers have gone on to have paid positions.

This will be a valuable and challenging learning experience for emerging film-makers, as well as a professional credit for your CV. You will receive a copy of the final film within one month of completion.

Email casting@happystormtheatre.co.uk and put the team and role you are interested in in the subject line (eg TEAM 1 / SOUND). Please tell us a bit about yourself including your age, any experience you have, why you want to be involved, a CV if you have one and your contact details.

Closing date: 8th December 2011

TEAM 2: DRAMA

A short drama devised and performed by non-actors to be filmed over 2 days.

In conjunction with our critically-acclaimed play The Myth of Escape (“Enthralled” The Observer), we will be making a short drama with a group of ex-offenders and people on probation which ties in with the themes of imprisonment and freedom in the play. The group will workshop their ideas to create their own drama which the team will then help to develop into a short film.

There will also be opportunity to do a short 'making of' chapter of the film to capture the experiences of those involved in the project.

This will be in January and will probably involve several days filming, depending on the availability of the team.

You must be over 18 to apply for this position due to the nature of the work.
