I still need a producer/partner for the GODDESS short film project: http://EarthGoddessMovie.com I now have three "Best" Academy Award Winners attached as Advisers, including Michael Lantieri, the FX genius who's done all Robert Zemeckis films, and many of Spielberg and Tim Burton films, as well. I need help with the Indiegogo campaign, as well as production, and festival marketing. If you're full of energy, and looking for an awesome project, please get in touch, thanks!

I’m a writer-director-producer currently developing an ambitious short film with a strong environmental theme. There’s a plethora of info about this project @: www.EarthGoddessMovie.com We have over 1000 Facebook likes: www.facebook.com/goddessmovie I have an Exec Producer partner who’s working with me to line up funding primarily via Wall Street guys and Indiegogo. We have two major players, both Best Picture Academy Award Winners, on our Advisory Team. I’m confident we’re going to land a nice chunk of change to make this very special, highly stylized and beautiful film. GODDESS will be entered in festivals, then screened and given away for free with the ultimate goal of making the feature version. I need another experienced producer/partner to help me with logistics, initially running the crowd-funding campaign (which will be well-seeded before launch). After funds are finalized, we’ll move right into pre-production (the fun part!). Check out the website and facebook page, and contact me if interested in learning more. Thanks!

I need a producer/partner to join me in making a very special short, allegorical film with a strong environmental theme. Because the film is somewhat ambitious and I'm crowd-funding a fair amount of money, I can't do it alone. To see what I already have in place in terms of social media, website, and student interns, please visit http://facebook.com/goddessmovie & http://lightmasters.net If you like what you see, contact me A.S.A.P. with your credentials and interests. We're going to make a stunning motion picture, and ultimately set up a non-profit to make many more. Thanks

I need a strong, attractive, athletic actress (25-35) to be featured in a presentation video for a crowd-funding project. We're going to do spectacular, slow-motion, flowing-gown, green screen test shots for the presentation. There is no initial pay, but, if you're the right person, I will sign a contract to hire you for the actual film (non-SAG as of this moment). I've got a very particular look in mind, so if I don't respond, please don't take it personally. You must be a model type. Here is the project description that I've posted elsewhere: I’m a seasoned screenwriter-filmmaker seeking talent to help me on GODDESS, a highly stylized, short-film project with a strong environmental theme. If you’re a nature lover and want to be a responsible Steward of the Earth, here’s your chance to take action. If you’re fed up with Big Studio schlock, and believe film can be a powerful, inspirational art form, read on. GODDESS is the mythical story of a woman’s heroic efforts to protect the Earth against her own rapacious siblings. The film, poetic and archetypal in essence, will be very similar in look and style to “Aloha Ke Akua -We are the ONES we've been Waiting for!” (below) but with a compelling, dramatic story line. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151204345997946&set=vb.2538872012... I’m currently finishing up the script for GODDESS, and will be putting together an Indiegogo presentation to crowd-fund a fair-sized budget. My hope is to generate enough buzz with the short to justify funding for the feature version. My last short film, EPHEMORA, (made for virtually $0) recently won for Best Cinematography in the Santa Barbara Digital Film Festival (below). https://vimeo.com/64632587 I’m located in Santa Barbara, California. Ideally, you’re local or in Los Angeles, but you can be anywhere if you become as committed as I am. Contact me if interested, and I will send you the synopsis and latest draft of the script. Thanks for your consideration of this very special project. (Feel free to send me a private message.)

I need at least a rough, top sheet budget proposal to include in the crowd-funding presentation for an ambitious short film project. I have a 14 page script that contains some CG and green screen FX, as well as some flying rig shots. Please give me your best price since with a look toward working for pay on the project once funded. If you need more info to give me a cost, I'll send you the script.

I'm trying to self publish my book of poems that I've been writing since I was 13. Their poems throughout my experiences in life, pems dedicated to ones I love and poems written to me from friends and loved ones. The title is 'Poems throughout the life of a troubled mind' and I've received an acceptance letter for publication but because I'm self publishing's I have to pay to publish which is not an option at this time. Does anyone know of any options that I could try? Any advice or any publicist that would be interested in publishing a book of poems about love, loss, crazy & devastating experiences in life? This book is important to me since its my lifes work of true experiences I've personally been through. It's very good & I have multiple self publishing companies interested but my options are limited and I've heard self publishing may not be the best way to go. I'm also working on a novel that I believe will be a big seller and something nobody has ever read before.
