Hi Guys
There are a couple of "NOT TO BE MISSED"
training courses happening this week.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND:
* Any course taught by Tom McSweeney - he is
teaching in Sydney this next month and is
fabulous. I did many courses and training days
with Tom up on the Gold Coast and his courses
are highly sought after.
* Dave Newman has a class with Christine King
Casting - Dave is a great teacher, I trained with
him years ago and the fact that he is now
working in a very busy casting office is
important!! Don't miss.
* Screenwise has some amazing courses. For
the serious actor it is often difficult to find
anything longer than an 8 week course.
Screenwise has yearly programs and Showreel
courses for the more experienced actors that
are wonderful. I have also done lots of training
at Screenwise over the years and the courses
are great. Again - don't miss.
Have a great weekend.
Cheers
Lee

Jack Irish Telemovies move into Production. Filming in Melbourne
The Jack Irish telemovies started shooting on
Monday after seven weeks in pre-production.
Guy Pearce is playing the lead.
Most of the stories revolve around something
which appears quite small, such as finding a
missing person, but "before you know it, it's
turned into a larger than life corporate
conspiracy." Jack therefore meets a lot of
people on the way through, meaning that the
cast size will be comparably large.
They hope that the show will appeal to a broad
demographic. Crime is always popular on
television, but they wanted to create a "crime
show with a distinctive heart." The show will be
character-driven, with a central crime story as
well as sub-plots. While on the surface it's quite
blokey, he also thinks that it will appeal to a
female audience as there is also a love interest
played by Marta Dusseldorp. Jack is a bit out of
practice with women, "which has its own charm
in itself." There's also plenty of humour in the
show.
They're working on a combined budget of $5.6m
for the two telemovies (around $2.8m each). It's
a bit more than the average telemovie cost, but
the flipside is that an actor of Guy's standing
helps to attract finance. "ABC, Screen Australia
and Film Victoria contributed financially , along
with the ZDF Enterprises who are our
international distributor."
They'll be releasing the show for international
sales at MIPTV in March 2012, and they hope
that having Guy Pearce in the show will bring it
some attention, particularly as he's been in the
past two Oscar-winning movies and won an
Emmy for Mildred Pierce.
They expect that the shows will be completed by
about March 2012, but the screening dates are
yet to be set.Optus One80Project: Wannabe TV Or Filmmakers Listen Up.
Do you live for TV or film? Are you a secret whiz
behind the camera? Or fancy yourself as the
next Steven Spielberg?
Well, now could be your chance to fill the big
man's shoes as the Optus ONE80PROJECT is
back and on the hunt for the next big thing in
showbiz!
Now in its sixth year, the joint project between
Optus and MTV Australia, in association with
Event Cinemas, is offering aspiring Aussie TV
makers the opportunity to kick start their dream
career.
"The Optus One80Project is great proof of how
many solid ideas and young, outgoing creative
minds we have here in Australia," said
Christiaan Van Vuuren, winner of last year's
competition with his entry 'Sick.'
"We couldn't believe we won. The judges from
the One80Project were amazing and took the
time out of their days to offer advice, introduce
us to people and steer us in the right direction.
We just finished shooting the pilot and couldn`t
be happier with the quality of work and the team
of individuals that we got to work with."
So if you want a shot at the $180,000 production
budget and a share in the $30,000 cash prize
pool, including a cool $10,000 for the winner of
the Public Vote Award, all you need to do is
submit a 180-second pilot and treatment by
January 14 2012.
And in an Optus One80Project first, this year's
competition is also offering a $5000 cash prize
for the best pilot filmed on a mobile phone!
The public vote opens on January 24 2012, and
the top 10 entries will be selected by a panel of
high-profile industry judges and screened at a
live festival event in Sydney in March 2012.

Christine King Casting will be holding four final
Sydney audition and casting workshops for 2011
in November. These will be held at our office
and studio. These workshops will cover all
aspects of casting and the audition process.
Dave Newman, who has been a casting director
and associate at Christine King Casting for over
5 years, will conduct the workshops. Dave has
been personally involved in thousands of
auditions for both US and Australian projects
including TERRA NOVA (FOX/DREAMWORKS),
THE PACIFIC (HBO, DREAMWORKS & PLAYTONE)
, WOLVERINE ORIGINS (FOX), NARNIA:VOYAGE
OF THE DAWN TREADER (FOX), DON'T BE
AFRAID OF THE DARK (MIRAMAX), MATCHING
JACK (CASCADE FILMS), RED DOG (WOSS FILM
GROUP) and the award winning EAST WEST 101
(SBS) series 1, 2. & 3. He has also worked
extensively with actors during US pilot season.
In addition, coming from an acting background,
he can provide important insights to the
casting/audition process from both sides of the
fence.
The workshops will run for 5 1/2 hours (incl 30
min lunch break) with numbers strictly limited to
15 per class. Participants will be given
individually chosen scenes and a character brief
in advance, matched to their level of experience
using both US and Australian scenes.
Each actor will be given the opportunity to work
one on one with Dave on the prepared scene
and learn from watching the other actors doing
their scenes.
The auditions will be recorded and then used as
a reference for our records.
In addition to the specific work on auditions in a
relaxed, friendly environment the workshop will
also cover how the casting process works, the
relationship between producers/directors/casting
& actors, audition techniques and approaches,
preparation, what we look for, taking the
pressure off, showreels, promoting and
marketing yourself as an actor, false
expectations and more. There will be a question
and answer session (as well as the opportunity
to ask questions throughout the workshop) - no
question too silly. We may even have some fun
- you're in this industry because you love it - it
shouldn't be torture!

This course is the first of its kind in Australia.
You will be taken through the latest US acting
craft methodologies with Vic Trevino and then
directly implement the techniques that you have
just learnt into a mock audition with Tom
Mcsweeney every week. You will have both
teachers in the same class every week. This
course gives actors the rare opportunity to
implement what they have learnt immediately
for maximum learning effect.
This unique course is team-taught and will focus
on what the actor needs to successfully
accomplish in the audition room (from a working
casting director's perspective) and how to make
it all happen (from a working actor and master
instructor's perspective). After being taught key
craft methodologies, students will engage in a
mock audition and work will be assessed in
terms of strengths and weaknesses with an
emphasis on how to approach weaknesses in
students' work.
Students who actively engage in this class will
have the opportunity to sharpen their
auditioning skills by cultivating an understanding
of what is required aesthetically (the craft of
acting) and technically (the craft of filmmaking)
in order to create truthful, honest behaviour on-
camera.

Burning Man is the reckless, sexy, funny,
moving and ultimately life-affirming story of
Tom, a British chef in a Bondi restaurant, who
seems to have decided there are no longer any
rules he needs to obey.
Whatever Tom is up to, his actions seem to be
tolerated by those around him. As Tom
descends into darkness, fragments of a different
story begin to emerge. All the women in his
world are trying in their own, very different
ways to help put him back together.
The film stars Matthew Goode, Bojana

Brisbane International Film Festival 2011
3 Nov 2011 - 13 Nov 2011
This year`s Brisbane International Film Festival
is just around the corner, with the 20th
anniversary event kicking off in one week`s
time!
That`s right - although BIFF itself takes over
Brisbane from November 3 - 13, we`re getting
things started with screenings on November 1
and 2 because we`re simply too excited to wait.
We hope to see you at the Courier-Mail Curtain
Raiser screenings, which provide a fitting
prelude to the main event.
From November 3, BIFF is in full swing, starting
with opening night and continuing this year`s
festival of festivals for 11 fun-filled days.
From the State Library to our very own pop-up
drive-in beside the Brisbane River, the festival
truly has something for all tastes - and price
ranges.
BIFF is committed to providing value to our
patrons, from reduced rates on Opening Night
tickets, to festival passes that reward frequent
patrons with discounted prices.
Tickets are now on sale, and we recommend
booking early to avoid disappointment.
Don`t forget to follow the festival on Twitter and
Facebook to stay up to date with the latest
news.
We look forward to seeing you at the movies!
