LIVINGSTON MANOR & ROSCOE, NY – Producers are seeking college students, film enthusiasts, and anybody who has ever been interested in working on a feature film to work with a Cannes Film Festival award winning production team on their current feature, “Martha Marcy May Marlene.”

Production Assistants will work within various departments – production, art, G & E and camera – handling day-to-day operations for the film.

While production assistants aren’t required to be around for the whole shoot, the producers are looking for people able to handle 12-hour days full of manual labor. Access to a car is a major plus.

Applicants should be prepared to work six days a week, Sundays are free. These production assistant positions are unpaid.

Requested availability is Monday, August 30 through Wednesday, September 22.

“Martha Marcy May Marlene” is the first feature length film from writer/director T. Sean Durkin and was developed at the Sundance Writer’s and Director’s Labs.

Borderline Films is a New York-based production company founded by Sean Durkin, Josh Mond and Antonio Campos in 2004. The company’s first feature, “Afterschool” premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and went on to be nominated for the 2009 Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature.

At the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, their second feature film, “Two Gates of Sleep,” premiered in the Director’s Fortnight Competition while their short film, “Mary Last Seen,” won the Prix SFR for best international short.

This is a great chance to learn more about filmmaking and be a part of an exciting project.
