Open Call for Documentary Film: "Anna May Wong: Wedded to My Art"
Documentary filmmaker seeking collaborations with artists in the following capacity:
1. I need to find a theater space for two days shooting. It can be a small
stage(elevated little bit from the audience) with a piano and black drapes.
I have a small budget for the location fee. Outside NYC is o.k.
2. I need an art director who is a painter, is interested in creating a set
for the shooting and other preparation. Again the fee is small but credit
on the documentary and DVD copy of the finished documentary.
3. I need a choreographer/dancer who could choreograph 1-2 minutes movement
based on film footage/research I have. An actress will perform it during
the shoot. Again the fee is small but credit on the documentary and DVD
copy of the finished documentary.
For questions, please contact:
