Dear Community,
Filming IS going to happen in Kipling! You have a chance to be part of the FUN. Imagine being able to tell your grandchildren that you had a part in making a film in Kipling! Check the list below. Decide what you, your family, or your organization may be in a position to donate (or have used at a really low price). The fewer number of items that need to be rented or hired, the more chance there is that the film will be a monetary success. It is the intention of KFP to set up a data base that can be tapped as needed. As you will see, some of the items are solid physical items, while others are more of a service nature.
List of locations:
- Production Office Space – this needs to be large enough for various departments to headquarter. It should have high speed internet connection and phone service.
- Other Locations
o Old church (near an open field)
o Newer church with a cross on top – not necessarily in the country.
o Farmhouse that could be filmed – both exteriors and interiors.
o Old farmhouse that could be burned.
o Jail Facility
o Sheriff’s office
o City building and corridor
o School auditorium
o Exterior of High School Gym
o Interior of High School gym
o Coach’s office
List of equipment:
- Office Equipment – phones, computers, fax machines, heavy duty copy machines.
- Heaters – to be used at various locations during filming.
- Vehicles and Drivers
o Cast and Crew Transportation – several passenger vans.
o Dressing Rooms – 3 to 5 RVs to be used as Cast dressing rooms and on-set production offices.
o Warming Spot – a large bus(es) for crew to warm up in.
o Cube Vans – 3 medium to large to transport gear from and back to Regina.
o Police cars – 2 to 3 to be in the film.
o Truck – a 10 to 15 year old reliable truck for Corbin’s character to use in the film.
o Vintage vehicles – 10 to 15 vehicles from the 1960s for flashback scenes.
o Crane to be used periodically for cameras and for lighting.
- Generators
- Set Decorations – we would ask that everyone in town leave their Christmas decorations up for the January/February filming. More decorations may be needed to make Main Street extra festive.
- Wardrobe – clothing from current era as well as from the 1960s.
List of people:
- General volunteers – duties will be varied and may interest people of all ages.
- Carpenters
- Painters
- Electrician – to access power as needed.
- Crowd Control
- Hockey Players – 2 teams (at this time, Corbin has not indicated the age levels).
- Football Players
- Younger (Little League) Baseball Players for summer shoot.
- Girls’ Basketball Team
- Young Childrens’ Choir – approx. 7 – 12 years old.
- Production Assistants – approximately 5 young people who are willing to be runners for the different departments.
- Someone to be liaison – Corbin needs to have someone who can spend the time that he will be in Kipling making sure that the local people who have said they can help are actually there. This will be in short shots of time, dependent upon what the filming schedule is.
- Catering – usually there are two meals in a day, the first, no matter what time the start is called breakfast, the second called lunch occurring six hours after beginning for the day. The work for this may not all be from one group, but perhaps such that one group does breakfasts, another does lunches or one group takes on three days, another group three days, etc. Flexibility could certainly prevail.
- Craft Services- this is a snack table near the set. This would be responsible for having soup/sandwiches available several times during the day and having coffee, tea, etc. available at all times.
While it is our hope that there will be no need to pay for many of the local needs of the film, credits will be given for the assistance given.
In order to get a data base to fill these needs, it is important that people respond quickly. This can be done by contacting Moose Mountain Central Development Office at Phone 736-8399, Fax 736-8412, or email
moose.mtn.centralrdc@sasktel.net . Please contact as soon as possible with your list of items/services. We would appreciate a reply by November 13, 2008. Thanks for being interested. GET INVOLVED! HAVE SOME FUN! MAKE THIS MOVIE A SUCCESS!
