Huhu Attack - Call for dancers, singers and actors. November 2008
We are looking for dancers, singers or actors to partake in the short film musical, Huhu Attack being shot over the week of 21-26 November 2008.
The music and choreography are produced by the same people that did Men Shouldn't Sing (feature film) - Music samples here - Trailer here - and the film is directed by Film and TV director Patrick Gillies.
Synopsis:
Rural New Zealand, 31st October 1957. A Sputnik satellite crashes into the edge of a forest, irradiating the nearby flora and fauna. When the Army is called in to investigate, their soldiers are inexplicably attacked by a 40ft-high mutant huhu grub. At the nearest township, two-bit travelling magician, Miles, falls for the charms of his mousy volunteer, Ngaire, whilst putting on a Halloween magic show for the locals. Their blossoming romance is interrupted when the giant huhu grubs invade, decimating the townsfolk.
Knocked unconscious, Miles awakes to find Ngaire nursing him back to health in a convent infirmary. Citing Miles' knowledge of pyrotechnics, she pleads her reluctant hero to lead the surviving townsfolk in their fight against the man-eating huhu grubs. However, her faith in him is shattered when local agitator, Derek, arrives with soldiers to accuse Miles of being a Soviet spy, directly responsible for the huhu grub menace. Armed with supposed proof of his 'Eastern Bloc' origins, the soldiers proceed with their intention to execute Miles. After an impassioned and heart-wrenching plea of innocence, Miles is released and the united community rejoices in its newfound tolerance and enlightenment... but not for long!
The main time that dancers are required is Monday 24 November (night shoot starting 8pm) for a large show song and dance plus an uplifting gospel/pop song.
We are also looking for extras to take part in various other scenes taking place throughout the week of shooting.
