Hey everyone, this is Eli, your friend from Maine!
So a while back I am getting a tattoo, and while there getting worked on I mention to my friendly neighborhood tattoo artist about how I was doing some fire breathing the night before. Afterwards, the guy sitting across from me who had been also getting some work done mentioned how he overheard and was interested in getting some people together for some fire performing in an upcoming Zombie movie that he is producing.
Well needless to say, the opportunity to breathe fire at some Zombies onscreen was just too good, so we exchanged numbers and I didnt hear form him again for about a month until right before Wildfire.
Then he told me that he was doing a promotional gig at a big bar and that he would like to get as many fire performers together as possible to perform in this big roped off parking lot at the bar. We talked for awhile about both that and the movie and this is the info I have so far:
The promotional night is July 17th. He said he would provide transportation form Portland to Auburn, where the club is. He would also pay for all of our food and drinks. He said the actual pay would be minimal to none but he can cover those expenses.
As for shooting the film itself, it will be in October sometime. Not as many details on that, but he basically said the same: that he would cover transportation to and from Portland to the shooting area, all food, and lodging/camping. Of course we would also get to be in a Zombie movie breathing and beating down Zombies with fire, which is what the guy said he'd like to see...maybe with Zombie mannequins we can ignite etc.
Sounds like fun to me...

You can get in on this by posting here, or sending me an email at risingatlantis@gmail.com

At any rate, he is a copy of the email that I requested he send:

Hello everyone -

My names Eric with Bad Monkey Studioz and I just want to let people know about some projects that I'm involved with and see if anyone is interested in being part of them.

First off, I'm the executive producer for an independant zombie film that begins shooting in the fall. We are currently breaking down all the scenes to put together a shooting schedule. Our plan is to shoot on weekends and some evenings,since we all still have day jobs. We plan on having the film shot within two months on this schedule. When the shooting schedule is complete, I will forwad to all who are intersted. I will also be letting people know when we plan on holding our casting calls, for those interested in acting in the film.

As for our next promotional gig, we have the Carnival of Chaos at Club Texas in Auburn, Maine Friday, July 17th, which we're also looking for people to participate in. We have a huge section of the parking lot we can rope off for our fire entertainers to do their thing. We have local radio and television stations helping in promoting this, so we expect it to be a pretty big event that we're going to do every year, this being the first.

We're trying to keep this local with local musicians and entertainers that are willing to be part of these projects, because they enjoy what they do and want to support local art and entertainment, so if your agenda is making a quick buck, this probably isn't the gig for you. I will tell you that I will pay for your supplies, feed you and keep your thirst at bay. As for the movie and any over night shoots, we'll all be camping out on the lots we're we are shooting.

Feel free to contact me or Eli with any questions and look forward to working with you,

Eric
