temptation

In my efforts to find aspiring film-students looking to spend a summer on the road shooting a documentary on a shoe-string budget, I've managed to find anything but.

Instead, for what ever reason, each 'help wanted' I post at various indie-cine sites - I get a handful of responses from experienced DPs with impressive and intimidating resumes, showing heavy interest in the project. But the problem is; I can't afford them on an $8,000 budget. One operator, Zack Richard, offered, as a favor, to commit for... well, I won't say, but believe me when I say, it was 'next to nothing' for this industry. As for the rest, no one else has offered to work for such a low price, but I'm still in the early stages of planning... anything is possible.

A part of me insist that I shouldn't even tease myself with such out-of-reach ideas, but another part of me, the part of me that sees the full potential of the film, wants to try my damnedest to bring such talent to the project. At least one experienced crew member...

So with that, I'm going to shamelessly promote myself, and leave you all with a link: how to help your friendly neighborhood indie-filmmaker. Anyways, this cold is still kicking me around, I think I'm going to keep this short.
