Paid gig!

Hello! My name's Tom Murphy. I'm a former RIC student, currently living in LA but in town in RI to shoot a short film.

It's a simple piece about people going about everyday lives (walking down the street, waiting for a bus, washing dishes at home, etc.). The hope is that it'll serve dual purposes, both as a standalone short and as the intro to a longer drama film we're planning to shoot in the spring.

Actors needed, roughly college-age, of any genders and ethnicities.  We're currently filming and would be looking to film new actors soon (essentially now through the end of the year), so if you’re interested get in touch asap.

It's not big money but it'd be paid work, and all filming is taking strong COVID precautions.
