SPOTLIGHT - MEMBER PROFILE
NB Film Co-op members Rylan Melles, Kaitlyn Adair and Joel Thompson
NB Film Co-op members Kaitlyn Adair, Joel Thompson, and Rylan Melles through their new company, Feast Media Inc., are keen to create new artist content as they connect with the New Brunswick community, inspiring others to create by showcasing local talent. Feast Media has a studio space that includes maker space that artists can book into to shoot video content with professional gear and staff. They also have ongoing workshops, creative open space, networking and creative events.
Feast Media Inc. is hosting a new event; a monthly cold reading series where writers have their work read live for the first time in front of an audience!
This is the perfect event for writers looking for instant feedback, actors looking to strengthen their cold reading abilities (or who just LOVE to perform live), creatives looking to connect with other creative professionals, and for patrons of the arts who love live performances while learning about whats coming up in the community.
The Tipsy Muse is the perfect venue with all the bevies (hot and cold) your heart desires with the creative atmosphere we love.
Cover is pay what you can (5 dollar suggested)
Doors open at 6pm
Casting at 6:30pm (casting occurs on the spot, rolls depend on availability and performers).
Show starts at 7.pm.
Feel free to stay a bit after the show to mingle, chat, and network with other creatives.
Works TBA the week before the show but ARE WE EVER EXCITED.
Works can be film, theatre, music, or whatever you want performed live (of any length). If you have a piece you would like read (or music your working on you'd like to perform) reach out to info@feast-media.com.
See you at the event!
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.
