Any screenwriters wanting to 1) Learn the art of screenwriting, 2) Study structure and storytelling (3 Act plays), and 3) Build a support group for your script? Come join us for a newly forming screenwriters group starting in March 2012. Each month we will cover a topic of interest and invite guest lecturers to come and speak to the group. Who's interested? I am taking emails and currently trying to find a Denver-metro location that we can meet at. Free, and not a Starbucks because the group…

Project Notes:Award-winning writer/director casting three roles for a Colorado-based feature film to shoot late spring/early summer.

** PAID. ACTORS WILL BE NEEDED FOR A FULL FOUR (4) WEEK PRODUCTION SCHEDULE. **

The project will be an actor-driven and highly evocative thriller, very much along the lines of Roman Polanski's "Knife in the Water," Haneke's "Funny Games", or that odd duck in the Woody Allen…

Hey gang, we're looking for a few songs by local bands for our Lucha Libre web series. Specifically, we're looking for dance-able rock that is pre-recorded to use in an upcoming episode.

We're looking for temporary/festival use...so no money unless it makes a distribution deal for profit....then there will be a financial guaranty.

We've already got the local surf band 'Royal Aces', Toronto's 'Von Drats', and Arizona's 'Calabrese' lined up to be featured in…

A couple dozen filmmakers (directors, editors, animators, composers…) got together last night at the Boulder Filmmaking Incubator for a faced paced session of collaboration, problem solving, and creative exploration!

We read the re-write of the next Incie short film, Vitality (wt).  Our writing team decided to next work-shop it on location.  That will be good for the creative juices!

We put together a team to produce a short, animated promo for the Incubator.  Fun!  Look for…

Thank you Mark Gaebler

Being a teacher of animation and compositing I had the unique opportunity to teach and the complete novices between 15 and 17 years old with startling results that are now part of a NASA site with the following web address. I think you'll find it rather good considering the students had no clue how to do anything before I got a hold got a hold of them. Note: All the moon models are 3D with displacement maps, some took several weeks as they had to build models with no reference of the moon 4…

If you're an actor and you join CASA looking for opportunities, does it make sense to upload a headshot or two?

If you send me a screenplay should you maybe think of a way to include your name as the author?

If you're making movies and "web series" would it make sense to have a "story" first?

Why do Jim Brennan, Patrick Sheridan. Haylar Garcia and I always have to be the voice of reason around here?!?!?!?

Happy New Year everyone!    ;-)
