Farmers’ Legal Action Group is looking for a volunteer video producer to do a short documentary to illustrate their policy analysis and recommendation to the State of Minnesota about how it can best preserve farmland. They need a video component to their policy report to put a human face to this issue and show what farmers have to go through to continue farming. It would entail 3-10 farmer interviews, some farm footage, and would result in a 15-minute piece. Small reimbursement to cover out of pocket costs. Contact Susan Stokes at SStokes@flaginc.org.
Audition for University of Minnesota Video Project Age range: 18+, Shooting schedule: One day a week, August through November.

Brady, Ph.D.). Our goal is to portray relationship dynamics and choices about behavior (e.g., condom use) in a way that is health promoting and non-judgmental. None of the films will depict sexual activity.
We are looking for a diverse ensemble aged 18 and over to portray people in their late teens, utilizing a mixture of improv and written dialogue. This is a professional, low-budget production with high production values and devotion to authenticity. Ensemble members will be compensated for rehearsals and shoot days.

These are themes to muddle over in the Indie Flick by Patrick Coyle, Into Temptation who’s film is building in momentum and gearing up for it’s national targeted launch.
Into Temptation is a 2009 independent drama film that tells the the story of a prostitute (Kristin Chenoweth) who confesses to a Catholic priest (Jeremy Sisto) that she plans to kill herself on her birthday. The priest attempts to find and save her, and in doing so plunges himself into a darker side of society.
The film touched on themes of temptation, sin, good and evil, redemption and celibacy, as well as the boundaries between a priest providing counsel and getting personally involved with helping parishioners.
