AREA FILMMAKERS COMPETING IN 24-HOUR FILM FESTIVAL IN NEED OF CAST

SHREVEPORT, LA – Several of Shreveport-Bossier City’s most talented local filmmakers will compete in the nationwide Insomnia 24 Hour Film Festival this Saturday, October 13th. The filmmakers are required to write, shoot and edit a film within the 24-hour timeline.

The Shreveport-based team will be headed up by filmmakers Chris Lyon, Luke Lee, Keith Shively and Daniel Lachman who all worked on the acclaimed film Plummet (www.plummet-movie.com) which debuted in Shreveport on July 20th. The same team placed 8th in last year's festival out of almost 300 entrants.

Due to the nature of the festival, the filmmakers cannot write the script until the contest begins. This means that a cast cannot be chosen until that day. The filmmakers are looking for talent who would like to be included on a standby list for Saturday October 13th. Once the script is written, the filmmakers will chose a cast based on the look of each character that they wish to be portrayed as well as the actor's credentials. Actors and actresses that wish to be a part of this film festival should submit their résumés and head shots to Perennial Media by emailing insomnia@perennialmedia.com.
