CAMERA MAN/WOMAN URGENTLY WANTED FOR MUSIC VIDEO SHOOT

As we are urgently looking for a camera man / cinematographer, we felt so free sending you this email. Hereby I send you some information about film director Edwin Brienen. After years of hard work (especially in the low-budget branche) resulting in 10 feature films so far, we’re proud to say Filmfreak Distribution recently released a DVD collection containing Brienen’s first 5 films for the whole Benelux, later this year followed by Monitorpop in Germany.

Edwin also make music videos; in the past he shot videos for artists such as Joachim Witt, Bunny Lake and Noblesse Oblige. Already upcoming Monday and Tuesday, we’re looking for a camera man who likes to join us in a pretty stylish project: a music video for the Amsterdam band Ravage! Ravage. Hailed as the Nu-Rave generation, RR makes stylish electro-clash, and soon will release their debut single Last Night’s Party. The video needs a creative Eighties-look, containing lots of smoke, shadows and disco lights. For examples, see below this email.

Edwin Brienen is a European, award-winning film director. His debut film Terrorama won several awards (best film, best leading actress) at international film festivals. He made 7 feature films in five years, and worked therefore with internationally acclaimed actors such as Jean-Louis Costes (Irreversible, Baise-Moi), Fassbinder regular Peter Kern, Laura Tonke, and recently Das Boot-actor Erwin Leder (leading role in Edwin’s latest film L’ Amour Toujours).

We're looking for a camera man who believes in the impossible, and basically shoots this particular music video this Monday and Tuesday in Berlin. We work on a no/low-budget basis, so we cannot pay for your work. You probably get a lot of these requests (working for free is horrible, I know from experience) but maybe you like to give it a try. It’s always nice to meet new people, and for sure new, bigger projects come up the following year. We promise you a lot of creativity and lots of airplay on the European music channels, upcoming months. As a thank you, at least we could give you a copy of the Brienen DVD Box Set.

If you think you’re the right man/woman for this music video, and you’re not afraid of chaos and improvisation, please let us know as soon as possible. Shootings already takes place in the next couple of days.

Here are two examples of music videos Edwin already directed:
