HIRING A CREW
FILMMAKING NOTES

Job Hiring Your Production Crew – When hiring your CREW, first and foremost what you’re looking for is other leaders. People who will take their position and own it – make themselves the LEADER of that job. This is a collaborative medium. Everyone can pour themselves into the film, no matter which position they have, and just plain make the film better.

If everyone on your set works that much harder, and believes in the project with their inner soul, then you have the makings of a great film. In previous films I’ve learned what not when hiring a crew.

As the Producer and/or Director, you are the LEADER of the film. You have to make tough decisions. Hiring Your Crew is the first, and sometimes the toughest, decision you have to make.

CAST LIST:

NARRATOR – Sean Ballantyne
Jan – Brett J. Kelly
Cornelis – Jason J. Thomas
Agnes – Danielle Nicole
Hilde/Rachel – Maya Woloszyn
Magdalene – Holly Sarchfield

Get to know writer Wendy Jane Henson:

1. What is your screenplay about?

A rowdy romp with the young lord of a manor when only his wit, daring, and a saucy barmaid can save his life.

2. Why should this script be made into a movie?

Offering tongue-in-cheek humor, strong characters and compelling storyline full of skullduggery and romance, it will delight audiences, male or female, age 13 and up. Based on real people and actual events, the struggles and feelings of the characters seem modern despite the fact they lived in the 1600s.

3. How long have you been writing stories?

Unfortunately for him, he finds out firsthand what it is they’ve been doing to victims when they administer a DNA-altering serum that causes him to change – morph – from a regular man into something not quite human.
