Casting Call - Chassidim Needed
« on: November 22, 2017, 05:17:03 PM »
I was approached recently by someone working on an upcoming Jewish short film and was looking for Chassidim to cast for a tisch scene. I got in touch with the director who gave me more details, and I offered to pass them on to a larger audience. So if anyone's interested, here goes:

The film is called Radzyn, and is a story about a chassidic shtetl that has existed in secret for hundreds of years. They are looking for Chassidim for that one tisch scene.  The basic requirement is a beard and peyos.

Filming will take place in South Jersey (near Philly) on Sunday December 10th from 12-8pm. Transportation from Brooklyn will be provided.

Kosher food will be provided as well.

They're looking for volunteers, but - quote - "it's a good opportunity to be on a film set, meet new people, and get some exposure to film. It's a great learning opportunity".

Contact michael@contentwithin.com if you're interested, or PM me for his cell number for whatsapp.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with any of this. I was, quite literally, approached on the street outside work and asked if I can help. These guys have produced music videos for Lipa, Gad Elbaz, and others.

I.e. we're top cheap to pay you, but that pales in comparison to what we're truly offering you: "a great opportunity should you, at some point down the line, want to become the Chassidic version of Humphrey Bogart. Oh, and how much you'll learn! Just think of it!"

To be fair, people post themselves on websites all the time w/o getting paid...here are you just worried that someone else will make money from your hairy face? :)

The point is that there are ppl everywhere that are dying to be on a movie, therefore nobody gets paid.

Simple supply and demand

I'm offering to go, but only if I'll be the rebbe...

Lol
