Kafka: "Passers-By"
Actors / production crew required to make a short film based on Kafka's "Passers-by" (http://franzkafkastories.com/shortStories.php?story_id=kafka_passers_by ).
Wanted:
- Requires 4 actors. There are no spoken parts - the piece will be narrated - so physical acting is what's needed: some running, facial expressions, etc... Parts are most suited for 4 males, although could use 3 males one female.
- Behind-the-camera help also needed. Especially welcome would be someone who can light/film a night scene.
- I want to film some time in March, so it can be entered in Half-Cut. Shooting should only take one evening, somewhere in St Andrews.
If interested, please contact David Stokes: ds296@st-andrews.ac.uk .

Music Videos
Chloe Matharu is looking for someone to help shoot some good quality footage of her performing folk songs at the St Andrews Festival. They will be credited and help support an up-and-coming voice from St Andrews!
She is also looking to shoot two music videos for her newly-released album:
The first is a promotional film, aimed at festival organisers and so forth to exemplify Chloe's work, a bit like Julie Fowlis' video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qczDug2BNRo
The second is a more artistic interpretation of her work: songs that tell stories in the folk tradition. The song in question is about a woman leaving town on a train, perhaps in a similar style to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUpPzVLBEbg&ob=av2e
If you are interested, please contact Chloe at cm823@st-andrews.ac.uk for more information.

In the coming weeks, the Education Committee will be overseeing a campaign against plagiarism.
