MicroFilms, a relatively new production company based right here in
Toronto is looking to hire 4th year Ryerson students! We are shooting
a few shorts over the next year or so. It is not a paid job, but could
be used for a film CO-OP credit. You get on-set experience, and these
shorts will be taken to festivals across North America. Should we get
funding for a feature, we would be able to pay all members of the crew.
For more info on our company, visit www.microfilms.ca.
Here is a rough list of what we will need in the way of student help:
- Gaffer/Grip assistant to work with Key who must have lots of
experience
- Art Department – storyboard and set graphics experience and skills
crucial
- Key Set Decorator and assistant
- Key Props and assistant
- On set special effects and must be experienced!! (rain in opening
scene andother film noir possibilities)
- 2nd and 3rd AD’s
- Continuity person (experience important)
- Assistant sound person Transport (there are vehicles in this story
that must be managed. This could be a secondary responsibility for the
assistant in sets/props)
These jobs are all important and experience is crucial. They don’t all
have to be 4th years but they all do have to know the jobs and be
experienced enough to do a good job. The keys in some of the
departments are very experienced and I will be overlooking all the departments.
Microfilms.ca is shooting the short film, “DEAD MONDAY” towards the end
of November and is looking for the positions listed above to be filled
by experienced students. Interested people should contact:
Tony Duggan-Smith at: tonyds@pathcom.com
This is an intern situation, with departments having moderate budgets
for materials and there will be the occasional feeding of crew! Check
us out online as microfilms.ca and individually as, Mark Korven and
Tony Duggan-Smith. We look forward to talking with you and guarantee
some creative and worth-while experience that will serve you well in
your careers!
