film news:independents’ film fest, birds eye films, the ghosts of ybor

*The Independents’ Film Festival has posted photos from the 2006 festival on its website.

*Here’s a casting call from a local filmmaker:

I am looking for actors for a short film to be shot next month. Looking for 5 leads (3 guys and 2 girls) college age plus some extras as the story takes place during a house party. The shoot will probably take place Friday and Saturday night, from about 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Include a headshot/resume if you have one, but it’s not mandatory. The shoot will take place in St. Pete; auditions will take place in Tampa by appointment. The film centers around a guy’s chance meeting with a
mysterious girl and then his dealings with a dysfunctional couple. No nudity or sex involved. Oh yeah, this is a no-budget shoot, so unfortunately I can’t offer any pay. Look forward to hearing from all interested - please email me at birdseyefilms(at)gmail.com.

*I wasn’t able to attend the screening of new local movie The Ghosts of Ybor last Friday (damn you, Real Life, for getting in the way of my watching movies!), but a little bird told me that the Guzzos have gotten some great media coverage (ok, so it was really Guzzo Brother #1 who told me).
