Hi, I am Ravi Vide, an independent filmmaker. I have been making short films for the last 5 years under an un-registered banner "Weekend Creations". Now, I am planning to make a full length (around 2 hours) independent film with a talented crew and with good technical values. Our team already consists of a Music Director, Editor, story, script/dialogue writers, choreographer and some actors. Now we are looking for talented actors for lead roles and a cameraman. Below are the details about the requirement.

Cameraman: This movie will be mostly filmed using Canon T2i and some of the steady cam shots will be filmed with Canon HV40. We are looking for someone who can help us in the camera work especially in lighting aspects.

Actor #1: Hero role. He occupies almost 100% of the film. He should look handsome and fit and should be in the age group of 23 - 26.

Actor #2: Heroine role. She occupies 50% of the screen time. Should look beautiful and homely and must be in the age group of 20 - 25.

Actor #3: Hero's friend (Second hero). This role is as important as the Hero role. He occupies around 80% of the screen time. He should be able to perform comedy as well as emotional acting at times.

The three main characters mentioned above should be really good at acting as the output quality depends heavily on the performances of these actors. For most of the other roles, the actors' selection has already been done. The shooting starts in May and the date will be announced as soon as we get the three lead actors. The entire shooting will be in Hyderabad and will be done on weekends so that it doesn't disturb the regular schedules of the crew. The actors should be from Hyderabad only.

We are going with low budget as getting returns for an Independent film is very hard. So, the available budget shall be used to enhance the technical aspects of the movie rather than as remuneration paid to the crew. I believe that passion is the key that drives every enthusiast like us and hope that money will not be a concern. I am confident that pursuing this project will augment our talents and can act as a platform to project ourselves to a wider audience

About the movie: The genre is Drama/Romance. This is not an off-beat movie but at the same time it is not like regular commercial movies. The story has every aspect of a commercial movie and at the same time has a tinge of message and social consciousness associated with it. The script work has already started and further details can be discussed offline.
