This year our stake is hosting a Film Festival instead of the traditional Road Show. Micah and I were asked to be in charge of the Grandview 1st Ward's film along with Greg and Julie Rhineer, the activities committee chair-people. What a fun project! We are really excited about our screenplay and the footage we have filmed already.
A lot of people have expressed interest in being a part of the film and we are ready for your help! We have 3 big scenes left to shoot that we need a LOT of people for. Ideally we could have the whole ward :)
Theater Evacuation Scene - We are working to secure an actual movie theater to film our ward watching a movie and having to evacuate because of a fire. It's definitely a comedy and there are lots of opportunities for humor in this scene. We need as many people as we can get this Saturday, March 14th to help fill and evacuate the theater. Micah really wants a bunch of kids to trample Dave Price. It only gets funnier from there...
Choreographed Dance and "Credit Parade" - We will have a total of three practices for our dance because it is that simple. You won't need to practice any more. We invite ALL AGES to join us for the next three Tuesday nights (March 10th, 17th and 24th) in the cultural hall at the church at 8:00 PM to learn the really simple (mostly stationary) "dance" that was a requirement for the film. The dance has nothing to do with the story. It's just a comical way to entertain during the "Credit Parade".
The "Credit Parade" will be a line of primary children, their families, and leaders walking intermittently across screen in front of the dancers during the "dance" carrying posters with the movie credits written on them. We thought this would be a fun way for the primary children and anyone who wants to be on screen but not have to act to be involoved. This will be filmed on Saturday, March 28th at Kiwanis Park.
Baseball Game Called Because of Rain - We need two full little league type baseball teams, coaches, and a CROWD to watch the game. The scene will be a heart wrenching community little league baseball game that has to be called because of rain. The bishopric will be playing the coaches and umpire but we still need a lot of kids for the teams and A LOT of people for the huge crowd that is there to watch the big game. This will also be filmed at Kiwanis Park on Saturday, March 28th.
There is one more small scene that we will need three to five boys, aged 12-14 to help out with. They don't have to say anything, just act like they are sitting around a campfire and then have to put out a really annoying camp fire that keeps lighting back up. If you know anyone interested, please let me know. We will also be filming this scene at Kiwanis Park on Saturday, March 28th.
