[News] FW: Waukee Band members to be in a movie with Adrien Brody July 16 - need more adults age 20 and up

Fri Jul 10 08:41:54 EDT 2009

 Hello,

I need to finalize the volunteers for the July 16th filming in Des Moines of the movie "The Experiment."  We told the casting director that we would have at least 50 people age 20 and up and another 25-30 in the age 16-19 category.

I know there are several people who plan to be there but haven't told me to add them to the list.  Please let me know by the end of Saturday 7-11 so I can report back to the casting director.  We have the age 16-19 category filled (but feel free to come if you are really interested).  Now we need to have 35 more people added to the written list for the group age 20 and over.  Feel free to ask your neighbors, people in the community, etc. - anyone age 20 and over.

If we hit our 75 to 100 people, then the band will get a donation of $750 toward the band trip.  I know this is a small amount, but it should be a fun experience.

We are to receive more detailed information as to the exact time and location on Tuesday.

Thanks for your support of Waukee Bands,

Jan Maltby  321-6949

Hello,

Actor Adrien Brody is making a movie in Des Moines on July 16th.  It is a remake of the 2001 German "Das Experiment" or "The Experiment" in English.  He will be in Des Moines on July 16th and you have get to meet him.

The film crew has asked Waukee Band to help staff the crowd scene that will be filmed either at the Capitol Building or somewhere downtown Des Moines.  They will be the crowd in a modern day war protest scene.  The crew needs about 25 people age 16-19 and about 75 people age 20-70 or so.  In turn, the band will received up to $750 for the band trip - to be allocated to each participating family's trip fund.

We won't find out until the 14th the exact location and call time (could be on the 15th, but most likely on the 16th).  You need to plan for 10 hours that day (a lot of sitting around and then shooting and re-shooting the scene several times).  You will be done by 7 PM or earlier.

You will need to wear some kind of darker colored shirt - no logos, no name brands, and no team names (the film would have to pay for name or brand use) and jeans or shorts.  We'll get more details when we get closer to the date.  When you check in with Josh Skipworth (a student from Waukee High School) you will be directed to go to wardrobe where they will make sure you have on the right kind of shirt (they'll have you turn it inside out, if needed).  Wardrobe will also give you a protest sign to use in the movie.

The film will provide coffee, water, bagels, and lunch.  

You will need to bring sunscreen, water or additional snacks if you want something the set doesn't have, a chair or blanket to use when you are hanging around, and maybe an umbrella if it looks like rain.

Do not bring laptops or anything you could lose.  Leave wallets/purses locked in the car.

We'll have you meet at Waukee High School by the band room and car pool down together.

I you are age 16, you need to have a parent or guardian (or other adult) go with you for the day.

Please let me know if you are available and if you can be part of the group.  We need to know 100% for sure that you will be there as we won't be paid if we don't get enough people to participate.  Remember to ask people who graduated in the past 5-10 years to help.  Feel free to ask you neighbor or anyone who isn't already working on July 16th (or 15th).

Thanks for your support of Waukee Bands,
Jan 321-6949
