CrewCall

Welcome to CrewCall! CrewCall, a part of the “Get Connected” mixer, helps identify working indie filmmakers, producers and production companies for those wishing to work on crew. Each entity offers something different. Some will lead to paying gigs and some will lead to experience for your resume. You must provide a resume when you come. We will be located at the back of the venue.

CineCentral

CineCentral has been created as an extension of the event to give actors the chance to network with Independent Filmmakers in a more intimate setting at “Get Connected”.  Too many times actors and filmmakers were passing each other at the event or… not connecting. We look for and identify professionals that are looking to cast for projects or build their roster for when they get hired to cast a project.  The best way to describe CineCentral is to say it is similar to speed dating.  Actors submit their professional headshots and resumes for review and if accepted have two minutes to meet and network with each person. There is limited number of 2-minute time slots available so we screen the headshots and resumes carefully and accept based on the quality of headshot and resume. Actors of all ages are welcome and we try to keep the younger participants at front of the schedule. Be sure to keep track of the GET CONNECTED FANPAGE to see when submissions begin.

Game Lounge – Fun & Games

 Everything You Need to Take Your Career to the Next Level in One Place

Dilli
6:55
DILLI deals with issues of the underprivileged people of Delhi. A city of dreams, Delhi is a vibrant center of culture and colors, flavor and scents. But for some, its allure is inaccessible. They are the forgotten and invisible millions who had to be hidden from the eyes of the worldly visitors for the 2010 Commonwealth Games and sent to a makeshift facade in Bawana. The film documents the lives of several slum dwellers, taking the viewer on a colorful and insightful journey through the streets of Delhi, seeing it through the eyes of its invisible occupants.

Undone
7:55
Nineteen-year-old Chelsea’s life gets turned upside down when her drunken ex-boyfriend, in a grand gesture to get her attention, accidentally drowns. His death begins a chain of unfortunate events. She feels responsible for what happened and allows it to tear her world apart. The film explores the power of guilt and what has to be done in order to overcome it.

VEILED
7:30
5 Girls. 1 Conversation. The premises of “Veiled”, a short film, are quite simple in terms of content and dialogue. Five Muslim girls that don the hijaab arrive at a TV studio to shoot for an infomercial on Rights in Islam. As they wait for the director and crew of the infomercial to finish setting up, they have a common, every day conversation about their careers, amongst other things. Their back and forth dialogue, quick wit, and opinionated personalities question the validity of the “Perception is Reality” debate.

All the Sheep Have Gone Astray
8:15
All We Sheep Have Gone Astray is an experimental film that shows the internal struggles of a person who is frustrated with the function and structure of the world. The film sets a surreal portrayal of the person’s mind as he talks to himself about his personal critique on humanity, individualism, and the idea of free will.

The Mourning After
8:40
Rife with guilt, shame and a glimmer of hope. Two people “meet” the morning after a drunken encounter. A sincere representation of what happens when you look for love at the bottom of a bottle.

Disposal
9:20
Rocky and St. James, of Rocky’s Trash Removal Service, are called in to do a job for a connected, high roller named Rollo. When they discover exactly what it is they are disposing of, they have to make a tough decision of morality versus survival.

The Therapist
9:50
While drinking away his sorrows on the anniversary of his son’s death, a therapist receives a surprise visit from an unexpected patient. This hauntingly powerful film tells a story of loss and mourning through a combination of live action and brilliant animation.

Get Connected Networking Mixer’s’ mission is to facilitate a fun and relaxing environment for film and entertainment & business professionals, outside of their usual networks, that fosters valuable connections in the Atlanta entertainment & business industry! 

CineCentral, a part of Get Connected, offers a unique opportunity for actors to get in front of several working filmmakers at one time. Actors have two minutes and make an impression, drop of some headshots and a resume. Think of this like a mini-interview rather then an audition, so a monologue for each is optional.

Filmmakers/ Casting Directors are there to accept your headshots, get to know you and can contact you for future productions. Have fun with it! We look for those who produce projects and have several slated for this coming year.

Please submit your headshot and resumes to cinecentralgc@gmail.com. Headshots and resumes will be reviewed and if you are selected then you will receive a time slot to interview with each featured guest.

Please send Headshots and Resumes to cinecentralgc@gmail.com

Without your ingenious talent and vision, there will be no future – only a past for urban themed films. Bobby M Peoples always dreamed about entering the entertainment business. After his stint in the US Army, Bobby decided to actively pursue his goal and enter the acting arena. After being rejected on several acting gigs, he entered film school and studied the art & craft of music and video production.

He has done several projects for Dreamworks, Touchstone Pictures, New Millennium, to name a few. Bobby continued to have faith in his career and eventually became the captain on his own destiny thus heading his own flagship, “The Peoples Network (TPN1).” A place where he could write, produce, direct, not only his own work but to aid others who cannot find the talent or resources to enter into the business. Born in Newark New Jersey, Bobby M Peoples is an only child. Raised by his grandparents while his mother was in the army. Bobby use to take his GI Joe toys and pretend to make movies with them, thus creating the imagination he has for films now. Bobby is more determined than ever to create a Hollywood of days of old. Taking pages from the life of legendary producer Roger Corman. Bobby dreams of creating above the line positions for eager and very talented people who come across his path, and need a chance to be seen and heard.

FILMMAKER STEPHEN SHERWOOD
I joined the Blank Page Screenwriter’s Workshop in 2009 and finally got my muse in gear. I’ve since written a three part epic fantasy mini-series, a feature, and half a dozen shorts. I also now have more than 20 credits on IMDB as a Writer, Producer, Director, Director of Photography, Editor, Assistant Director, Actor, and as various other roles.

My last project was a film short called “The Rubicon.” I was the Writer, DIrector and Editor and I also played a supporting role. It is on the festival circuit now and so far it has won awards from the “Best Shorts Competition,” the “Indie Fest Awards” and the “Accolades Competition.”

I plan to shoot at least two more shorts this year and am always keeping an eye out for talent to use in future productions. I have my own production company, Bright Forest Productions LLC in Roswell. I shoot with a Sony EX1 and Canon 60D and have a full Final Cut Studio edit suite. I am also an Apple Certified Colorist and Editor.Recently I have started a new venture to try and bring some credibility to the whole
“festival/competition” circus.

It is called the “Southern Shorts Awards” and o!ers short filmmakers a level playing field to have their films evaluated. Of note to Actors is the fact that we do not just judge the film as a whole, but also consider individual performances, so it is possible for an Actor to win an award for a great performance even if the film doesn’t.
