We are seeking an HMU and special effects artist for a short film planned to be submitted to festivals starting this fall.
Shoot date is planned for May 20-21st and depending on availability/rate may need you for only one of those days but prefer both.
Location is to be finalized but expected to be in the Wilmington DE area.
The primary need is to have realistic appearance for bruising and a cut/wound.
Here is some information about the film:
The Project: I am the writer and producer for an independent SAG microbudget drama/comedy short film. The story is about a medical interpreter who finds herself between an earnest physician and a Bengali woman brought in for domestic violence. Though the topic is heavy, there are fun moments as the characters assess and understand each other.
About Myself: I am a Bangladeshi American actor and writer based in New York. I am passionate about different cultures portraying their own stories. I have been involved with domestic violence through hotline work and being a board member for a domestic violence grassroots organization. I believe that you can’t help anyone unless they are ready, and that support and respect can actually be more empowering than we realize.
