On Sunday, Feb. 22, 1-3 pm at Nifco (40 Kings Road, St. John's), we are auditioning for "Down To The Wood" (not Dirt!) - a short 16mm film about a barber and his young client who comes to him with a serious request. We are seeking actors for the following three roles:

"PHONSE": 50-60 year old male, saucy sense of humour, slightly goofy and loveable, long-time barbershop client, good friends with Frank and the barber.
"FRANK": 50-60 year old male, dry wit, deadpan humour, long-time barbershop client, good friends with Phonse and the barber.
"SAMMY": 14-15 year old boy, good head of hair, serious and determined countenance, has been getting his hair cut at this barbershop since he was little.

This is a one-day volunteer shoot happening in early March - you will be fed handsomely but alas not paid ;-( You will, however, be working with a highly experienced and fun crew! So come on down to Nifco this Sunday afternoon and audition! Please spread the word...call 709-689-0296 for more information.

You know, it sometimes seems like the Women's Film Festival is a rest-stop on the road to short film glory. I mean, not to toot our own proverbial horn, but hey, we screen some good flicks you know what I mean? And if you don't, please allow me to clarify, rarify and exemplify:

Eva Madden, she whose mug currently adorns our Feature Filmmaker page, has put in the time and her short film, Eastern Shore, which screened at our 2007 Festival, has just gotten a broadcast deal on Movieola. You can watch Eastern Shore for free on the information superway on January 30.

Now, I don't mean to be telling tales out of school but if you haven't heard of Mike O'Neill (whose music is featured in Eastern Shore), well then you've got some work to do. Check him out on CBC Radio 3, the official public broadcaster for hipsters everywhere.

No one hit wonders are we: New Boy, which screened this year at the 19th WFF, just picked up a nod for Best Live Action Short at the 81st Annual Academy Awards (aka the place where they dress up and hand out little gold men)! Now this is no mean feat and screenwriter/director Steph Green (this is only her third film!) has earned a drink if you see her out around. Congratulations to Steph and all the crew responsible for such a tremendous accomplishment!
