Morris Minor Needed for Film Shoot

Post by ecm91 »

Hello there,

First time poster so unsure where to post this! Basically, my name's Elliot Moore and I'm a final year Television Production student at Bournemouth University's media academy. I'm currently producing a graduate project at the University, which in short is a ten minute drama set in 1950s Cold War Britain. The film's main character, Sinclair, is a British Intelligence Operative, and in order to emphasise the time period, we are looking for a Morris Minor to serve as his vehicle within the film.

We are looking for a passionate Morris Minor owner to join us on the shoot. The shoot will take place across four days in Dorset, between the 13th and 17th March, though we most likely will only need the vehicle and owner for two days of the shoot. Unfortunately being a graduate project, the budget is understandably limited, so we would most likely only be able to cover expenses (petrol, meals and drinks). However, this could potentially be negotiated.

The film's director is Ben Witt - you can see an example of his work here : https://vimeo.com/57249160

He is a really talented guy, and while some of his stuff is a little bit quirky and surreal, with this project he is looking to make something more serious - the script is fantastic, and I'm certain the finished project will be something that anyone taking part will be really proud of and remember fondly. We would fully credit your role within the film, provide you with a DVD copy, invite you to a premiere screening of the film, and potentially to subsequent screenings at festivals.

If anyone on this site is interested at all, please e-mail me at eli.m.films@gmail.com and we can discuss the project and your thoughts in greater detail.

Thank you for reading this,

Elliot Moore

If I were an 'Intelligence Operative' I'd be wanting something a bit nicer than a Minor.
