Hey Everyone,
I'm working on a script of a film that I want to make for Sony Tropfest this year [talk about leaving it to the last minute huh?].. I'm going to attempt a low-budget-made-to-look-higher-budget style film (which will mostly be done in post anyway so that's not really important right now). It'll be shot in black and white - It's a WW2 drama (I say drama 'coz there's no way I can afford to make an action film]
Locations I need:
There are 2 main locations needed in the film.
A dinner room - I just thought of asking an RSL club or something if I could borrow one of thier function rooms for a night, anyone have any idea how much that'd cost?
A Field surrounded by trees - Now it would be perfect if someone reading this lives on a property like this, or, knows of a really really nice person who'd let me film there for a day or two [fingers crossed] something that looks kind of like this would be good:

If anyone could help me out with that, I'd really appreciate it..
Now, with actors, the film is based around two german soldiers, i'd really love to find two 20-something year olds that fluently speak german to be in the film - but the chances of finding two people like that would be very low. So I might have to just use two of my friends, unfortunatly, they can't speak a word of german so it'll lose it's authencity as it'll be in English.
Also, i'm 18 in April, and i know it wouldn't be a problem for most people, but the actors if I found them would need to be completly fine with taking direction from a 17 year old.. but yeah, as I said, that shouldn't be a problem.
The script is almost done, I've just got to write a little bit more which I'll do when I've finished posting this message.
Anyway, the reason this is so urgent is because I really need to get this done within the next 2 or 3 weeks so I can start editing and making it perfect for Tropfest. I would have done it all sooner, but it's just been hard for me lately with school and everything else.
Wish me Luck.
