We are looking for a fixer with experience organizing for motion picture productions in Portugal, Morocco, and Croatia. I am working on two films (both feature films) and a low budget travel series.
Film (General):
The two films are of the same story. The name we currently have the first film under is Tangerine Skies .This is a working title, or a temporary title, which will change after production. So, one is the first film and the second one is the sequel. It is an adventure film, which is about an international treasure hunt. See website links below for more information on that film. The story will be a trilogy, so that will be three films in total. The first and second film scripts are being revised and worked on at the same time. The first two films are scheduled to be produced one after the other within a year.
For one film, we are looking at locations in South America/Caribbean. For the other film, we are looking for locations in Europe and Morocco. The travel series may include locations from both regions. We have more on the travel series and current episodes below.
Locations:
We will decide whether to go with Europe/Morocco or South America/Caribbean based on keeping the first film’s cost lower, more convenient in logistics, and the availability of film incentives and a strong professional film production crew and equipment. We want the first film to be the easier one to shoot. I am already speaking to a few fixers, but wanted to meet a few more before we decide who to get for our projects.
Rescheduling:
We rescheduled our first film to begin production late this year due to changes in our script and needing more time to decide on locations. We started back in 2013, in hunting for locations and organizing the right crew. Now, we are ready to begin scheduling production.
Local Crew and Incentives:
We will hire local crew for the films, so a strong local film production professional community in these locations are very important. This includes a strong casting director to help cast a few of the major roles with experienced and notable actors. I am the lead protagonist in the film. The film partially draws from my actual former career as a museum/artifact research specialist and a few actual experiences. Also, having a strong production equipment facility and good film incentives are important as well. For the travel series, I will likely just use my own equipment, but may recruit one or two additional crew members including a videographer/photographer who can also do photo shoots for our marketing of the series online.
Travel Series: Marketing Tool:
I have released the “pilot” of this web travel series, which is called Travel Quest. You can visit my newly revised Youtube channel, now called Merri Christi Explorer, to see the first show. It is 2 minutes long, but the series will have longer episodes and 3-5 episodes for this first season. See ‘Travel Series – Marketing Tool” below for more information on this series. Youtube page http://www.youtube.com/merrichristi.
The travel series is a low budget project, which will have me traveling to destinations as the host and sharing why these locations are perfect for explorers in the 25-47 age range. I will be showing archaeological sites (I may volunteer for an archaeological project in these locations if they allow volunteers. I am a former museum curator), historical architecture, beautiful natural landscapes, beaches or mountains, music and dance, and nightlife. My audience as a rising filmmaker, recording artist, and author are travel-enthusiasts and explorers in that age range. So, we are using the travel series to become a marketing tool for the upcoming films and also to boost tourism to these locations. This series, currently named Travel Quest, will introduce me and my character to a larger audience and prepare them for when the film comes out. The locations for this travel series will include locations from both South America/Caribbean and Europe and Morocco. The travel series will be primarily posted online for Vimeo and Youtube. The films will be released in theaters, live stream online, and On-Demand.
