ILavLA Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Here's a funny one from craigslist. los angeles craigslist > central LA > gigs > crew gigs Seeking Academy Nominated Director (Hollywood!) Date: 2010-12-26, 12:23PM PST Reply to: gigs-5aukt-2129911266@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?] Searching for Academy Nominated Director Established Producers are seeking an Academy Award Nominated (not winning though) Director to direct our "brilliant" screenplay. We have name talent attached... just so you know that we are serious. Hint: Bobby De Niro's 3rd cousin, someone that claims to be related to the Busey family, and a girl that says she knows Brittany Spears from her dad's old ice cream shop in Venice Beach, from a few years ago, before he closed it down. Just to name a few. Our producers have made such shows for Lifetime Channel, such as "Coyote Club: Old & Sexy", "Large Depressed Family", and "Diner Boyfriend Drunk". Lifetime didn't air the shows, but they did think about it. All trailers/teasers are available on the prestigious YouTube. One of the producers is from the Big Apple and the other is from some school in Salt Lake City that nobody really cares about- meaning Big Time! So we will only accept SERIOUS INQUIRIES! This an UNPAID INTERNSHIP POSITION. You will receive IMDB credit, some food and make great contacts! Only Academy Nominated Directors may apply. The film must be shot in 24-hours, our script is as good as "Paranormal In-activity", and we must be able to use your house and maybe your girlfriend's house as locations for shooting. This will be shot on the Red One, because our so called cinematographer knows absolutely nothing about exposing film. He does assure us that it will look just as good as "Public Enemies". Everybody is doing this project because they really care. * Location: Hollywood! * it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests * Compensation: Great Contacts and more IMDB Credits! Future work with A-List Talent and New Yorkers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 and it's not even April 1st yet. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reineke Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 "This will be shot on the Red One" Why am I not surprised, these types seem to gravitate to the Red One. (Not that I have anything against the Red One) I'll also assume they have $0 budget and spec deal for sound, just like Marc's "Sound Mixer Hell" http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/6807847/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 That's close enough to truth to be both really funny and really sad. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisk Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yeah, I got about halfway through before I realized it was a spoof ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I think this is in the wrong section of the forum; it belongs under work available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Hey, are they looking for a sound guy? --Marc W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I suspect they are expecting the free director to bring her/his own free sound crew. They already have the RED camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
