Please note.
— The intention in advertising roles at this early stage is to identify key cast and crew members now and to take time during fundraising to familiarize with the series, the roles, the objectives and with each other. That way, if and when sufficient funding is available, we’ll have already built the relationships and the knowledge - and thus the clarity - to be ready to roll as soon as possible.
Per logistics: After funding, we’d work with the main cast and crew to find a future filming window that works for the majority. No need to block out dates at this point; we’ll take it step by step. … Pay rates can be negotiated now, within the funding range of the project. Flight and housing estimates are included in the budget. As such, we’re happy to meet with people from anywhere for key roles.
If you dig the So Far Bound concept, and would like to speak more, please send word to studiotar@icloud.com with the desired role as subject. Thanks so much for any interest in playing a part in the series. Cheers!
Spotlight roles.
NOTE — The focus now is four people who can help shape larger elements of the series and then ultimately spearhead them, if funded.
Senior Director
Main focus: Help put together the main cast ensemble.
— Someone with experience and ambitions as a (film) director. The main objective will be to help in casting the main ensemble by reviewing reels and joining some individual calls or readings. Later, the director will continue to help shape the main cast and lead in finding the supporting ensemble. Finally, the director will be earmarked to direct episodes 5-8, or to scout and determine the director(s) for that set of episodes.
Creative Producer
Main focus: Help finalize the location (and main sets) for the series.
— The CP sets the stage for the series. Ideally someone with hands-on experience in any of the creative departments (e.g. design, photography). The main objective will be to help scout and finalize the filming location and then the main and secondary sets within it. The CP also helps scout and catalog creative department heads. Finally, the producer supports department heads with whatever they need during production.
Managing Producer
Main focus: Help analyze and shape the budget/funding goal.
— MP takes care of the series. Someone organized and attentive; experience in accounting/line and personnel would be beneficial. The main objectives will be to ensure proper accounting and registrations for the series and to help build up the fiscal and personnel (pay) structures. MP will help scout and hire for the production department heads. Finally, the producer supports operations on-the-ground during production.
Executive Producer
Main focus: Help build up the tools for outreach/engagement.
— The EP helps green-light the series. Ideally someone with experience in aspects of marketing. The main objective will be to help with the fundraising by consulting on ideas for the website and promotional material, and then on fun and efficient ways to share that material. EP may apply for grants or credits and may try to cultivate partnerships. Finally, EP takes a long-term look at how the episodes are distributed at home and places abroad.
