1850s Civilians Needed for Documentary in New Orleans

[guad42]

Greetings,

The company I produce for is looking for 5 Civilian Men to portray gamblers c. 1850s/Pre-Civil War for a one-day shoot in August. Our crew/shoot will be based in the New Orleans area. Exact Date TBD.

Pay is $200.00 flat rate, non-Union, for anyone who comes dressed with their own impression.

If you or someone you know is interested, please contact me ASAP.

Respectfully,

Hi Sam-

Is the date nailed down? Is this one day?

And I want to ask although I do generalize, is there flight/travel/lodging reimbursement?

I am, and know several in the KC area with the impressions who were part of the 1850's era Emmy-award-winning "Bad Blood" . The project sounds good but of course folks need to know what they are into and their financial expenditure.

Jay,
I am familiar with the project you worked on, very good stuff there. I think this is probably best suited to folks in the Louisiana area, as its just a one-day shoot and I'm not sure if travel arrangements are in the cards. However, if this changes, and it might, I'll keep you in the loop.

Regards,

Sam Dolan

Folks,

Here's a little more information for those of you who are interested. The current target date(s) would fall into the third week of August. Target impression, Late 1850s Civilians Playing Cards on a Riverboat. As to travel. I think this shoot is best suited to someone either in or heading to the New Orleans area or located in the state of Louisiana or in nearby areas of Mississippi or Alabama. While on a case by case basis we can discuss transport, mileage etc., I don't think this is set up to fly folks in and out. Other details the same as I listed in my first post.

Samuel,

I'm in the New Orleans area and know several people in this area with good civilian impressions who could fit the bill. Send me a PM with the details and how many people you need. I assume that the civilans can be yeoman class as well as "dandies"?

Folks,

For those of you who have thrown your hat in for this (and I appreciate that), our team that's going to New Orleans is still sorting out the date (which will be in Late August). If you have not already done so, email me a photo and contact information to: sd@flight33.tv
