FILM DIARY - CAT LEBLANC - FREDERICTON

Long-time Film Co-op staff member Cat LeBlanc is putting a call out for crew for paid work to help her bring her music video story vision to life. The music video is based on one of her original songs from her upcoming EP funded by MusicNB, entitled SIDE OF THE ROAD.

You can listen to a draft of the song here on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/catleblanc/side-of-the-road-edited

She can pay an honourarium to 6 trained crew people for this shoot with dates happening in September, 2019 for one or two days on a weekend.

Cat is in need of a CREATIVE DIRECTOR to help her bring her vision to life.

She would like to have more emerging members mentor under each trained crew person as well in volunteer positions with potential for honourariums based on her final budget.

Everybody will be fed well.

All applicants must be full members in good standing of the Film Co-op with preference given to women identified creatives, and only those selected will be contacted.

Email: info@nbfilmcoop.com if interested in this creative opportunity.

Your name, membership status and creative resume if you have one. If Cat knows you and your background, this is not necessary.

UPDATE YOUR CAST AND CREW PROFILE TODAY!

So you've joined the NB Film Co-op. You've taken a bunch of workshops. You've gone to networking events. But you're still unsure how to actually get involved with a film shoot.

One way to get your name out there is to register for the NB Film Co-op Cast and Crew Profile. It's a database where filmmakers can see a list of members who are able to fill in various cast and crew positions. It's simple to fill out and in no time your name will be made available to all filmmakers who are looking for cast and crew for their upcoming projects. It has recently been modified to allow new members with little or no experience create a profile, and it also allows members to fill in a more complete resume if they wish.

It's also beneficial for our more experienced members too. It is a place where commercial filmmakers can go to search for people to hire for paid shoots, and it gives members a platform to self promote themselves and their work.

So please, take a few minutes to fill out your profile and help the Co-op promote you!

This benefit is for Film Co-op members in good standing with their dues paid up. Email info@nbfilmcoop.com to find out more info.

Note: If you want to get calls from outside production companies and local production companies looking for creative crew, please ask Cat to be put on her film job short list. She can't refer you if you don't let her know.
