25 North Filmwurks is an Independent Film group in the Northwestern section of Indiana.
As filmmakers, we believe that certain criteria should be met so that all actors and crew can reach a level
of satisfaction while working in the Microcinema movement. To help meet those criteria, we have set up the
following conditions for 25 North filmmakers:
Actors
will be compensated for gas and provided meals. Actors will be paid an
agreed upon amount for their services. No deferment concerns – payment
will be made on the day of performance. These are non-union jobs.
Actors
will be provided scripts in advance for any and all parts.
Actors
will be allowed to view footage (instant feedback) and provide input on
their performance. All video will be processed and edited following the
shoots - we rough edit as we go. Actors and crew will be supplied
copies of your performance for their reels.
No
surprise scheduling. Shoot dates will be scheduled in advance to
provide ample time for planning. No last minute calls expecting people
to show up the next day!
All
parties must have e-mail and be good communicators. This is a critical
part of film success - honest communication, both ways.
All
parties must live in Indiana in an area roughly defined by a section
west of US 31 and north of State Road 32.
25
North is
self-contained and self-funded. We have all services within the group
- cameras, sound recording, lighting, editing, writing, scripting,
etc. - that means no outside services to delay or halt production.Our
films will be developed for festival audiences. Microcinema does not
get distribution with huge paybacks so our goal is to get exposure from
higher prospect festivals. Our main interests are original drama,
suspense, comedy and action.
Local
productions are a springboard and a very necessary part of developing
skills. Those who feel so compelled may go the distance and do the
hard work of leaving their roots and seeking bigger challenges and
projects, but it all starts at home. It is a natural part of
development for an actor who works hard to improve all the aspects of
their talent and style.
If
you are interested

what we are doing, please fill

You will be contacted when your inquiry is received.
As
we cast films, members of this list will be given first priority. Once
we have exhausted these resources, we will begin casting from outside
this list.
Thank
you very much for your interest.
