ACM JOINS HOLLYWOOD IN SEARCH FOR KUNG FU ACTOR
ACM's Master Class (ACM 385) will be the scene Nov. 30 for auditions for a
lead actor in
Legendary Pictures (SUPERMAN RETURNS, 300) feature film based on the popular
1970's television series KUNG FU. ACM Director Chris Lee will oversee an
Open Call to
cast the lead character, Caine. In the film, Caine is male, around 30 years
old, with a Chinese mother and American Father. The story takes place in the
American Old West during the 1800's and is a Martial Arts Western. A martial
arts background is not strictly necessary, but the ideal candidate for the
role is physically fit with some athletic training, preferably in martial
arts, gymnastics or dance.
ACM is inviting male actors of Asian or hapa (mixed Asian) descent between
the ages of mid-20's to mid 30's for the 4 p.m. tryout in Crawford Hall 115.
For the Open Call:
* Please prepare a one-minute monologue of your choosing, delivered in
English.
* Please prepare a one-minute demonstration of your martial arts or athletic
ability - You will be
timed and stopped at the end of one minute!
* Please bring your headshot/resume as well as CLEARLY LABELED demo reels or
publicity
materials that will help us get to know you and your talents better -
unfortunately, original
materials CANNOT BE RETURNED.
* Please be prepared to wait - possibly all session.
* Candidates clearly not right for the role will not be read.
* Call-backs will take place on the same day, at the end of the session.
$1250 SCREENWRITING AWARD FOR GLBT FILMMAKER INITIATIVE
The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, & Transgender Filmmaker Initiative provides
essential funding for the production of narrative or documentary media
projects that focus on issues involving gay, lesbian, bisexual and or
transgender subject matter. The initiative facilitates the creation of films
that focus on positive portrayals of queer life in Hawaii. We hope that
these films will not only foster a more tolerant perspective of alternative
lifestyles in the islands but will also nourish local queer voices within
our young filmmaking community.
NOTE: You do not have to be gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender to win
this award.
Two $1,250 awards are available. Please submit the following to the ACM
office, Crawford 210, by 4pm on Monday, Jan. 14 2008:

chosen as a winner, to produce this film in the spring of 2008 as an ACM 499
Directed Study.
* A completed screenplay.
* A one-paragraph synopsis of the story.
* A preliminary budget indicating all costs of production and
post-production
Who's eligible:
* Students enrolled in ACM courses.
* You must be a continuing student - you'll be enrolling full-time for Fall
2007.

NOTE: Winning students are required to produce their films as part of an ACM
499 Directed Study. All winners must agree to provide the Academy for
Creative Media a production journal outlining pre-production, shooting and
post production schedules, as well as any rough, director's and/or final

NOTE TO MAJORS & INTENDED MAJORS: YOU ARE NOT A MAJOR UNTIL...
Please keep in mind that you must complete your Academic Proposal and have
it approved by both your ACM advisor and Interdisciplinary Studies Advisor
before you can be declared an ACM major. While some students have applied to
ACM and their application has been accepted, they have delayed taking the
next step of preparing the Academic Proposal with their ACM advisor, and
then having it approved by IS. Those students will have difficulty
registering for courses that are restricted to majors, as they won't have
been officially declared, or recognized, as ACM majors. So get that advising
done pronto. For new applicants to the major - the same advice for you: You
are not a major until your Academic Proposal has been approved by both your
ACM and IS Advisors. Without it, no advanced courses will be open to you.
MAKE A GIFT TO ACM
ACM welcomes donations to support our programs, which support our students.
You can make a gift online at www.uhf.hawaii.edu/acm.
