LIVE FROM MEMPHIS

Hello! We have been asked by Insomnia Film Media to request that any interested crew submit their resume for the upcoming low-budget feature "Miracle at Palmer House". Crew resumes should be brought in person to the Hilton Memphis at 939 Ridgelake Blvd., 38120, ATTN; Nicki Celozzi, Producer, and left at the front desk (they are not accepting faxed or emailed resumes at this time).

The Producer asks that resumes be brought before Friday of this week. Filming will begin on April 19th for 4 weeks.

Note: We do not have a production office number available at this time, but will email again once we have one to give out later this week.

We are in need of extras for a drunk driving PSA (MADD). Would you, or someone you know, or both, like to do some extra work? You would be donating your time for a wonderful cause. Please call me or email me asap if you are interested.

All my best,

Daryl

Many of you know that long-time Channel 5 Weatherman Dave Brown lost his daughter, granddaughter and unborn grandchild to a drunk driver a few years ago. His son-in-law, Greg Kuehl, was a photographer at Channel 5 at the time. Six months ago, the grandson of former Channel 5 producer/director Bryan Cottingham was badly injured while riding with a driver who was drunk. He was in a coma for a month and is still undergoing rehabilitation to regain his most basic functions.

Dave, Greg and Bryan have joined together to produce a series of anti drinking and driving public service announcements that will be distributed and aired nationally. They have assembled a pro bono crew of very talented Memphis professionals and have received donations of equipment and facilities as well as all props and locations needed for the shoots. The state and national offices of MADD are also on board and will be helping us with publicity and with national distribution. We are asking for your volunteer help so I want to assure you that no one involved in the project will receive payment of any sort.

We have everything else in place. Now we need lots of extras.

The PSAs will be videotaped in Memphis on March 9^th and 10^th.
