CALL FOR FILM MAKERS, ARTISTS, DANCERS, CHOREOGRAPHERS, VOCALISTS AND TALENT FOR CHRISTIAN ENTERTAINMENT GUILD LIVE KICKOFF – Filming of the “Summer of Love” Music Video on 5/20/17
Film Makers and Talent Join The Making of “Summer Love” Music Video
The Christian Entertainment Guild (CEG) seeks your help at the kickoff of its first Live “Love More” event, on Saturday, May 20th, 8:00am to 2:00pm, at Calvary Community Church Westlake. Our Guild of Christian entertainment professionals is in the processing of filming a live music video titled “Summer of Love” with a principal cast of six actors, featured pro musicians, dancers, singers, live visual art production, and a full production crew. You are invited as a member of the Christian entertainment community, to be involved now as a film maker or on May 20th to participate in the final scene of the music video by being cast in a great big faith family community dance flash mob and singing scene with spoken word, break dancing, African drumming, flags, dance circle, and more dancing and singing in the script’s finale number. If you are a pro dancer, choreographer, vocal director or have a visual art or act you would love to share, we’re still adding acts (it is a wild group scene music video, so the more colorful the better). Please sign up and contact us now at this link. <http://www.christianentertainmentguild.com/lists/?p=subscribe&id=1>.
CEG IS A NON-DENOMINATIONAL MINISTRY AND PARTNERS WITH MANY CHURCHES AND ORGANIZATIONS
The Guild is a non-denominational Christian entertainment trade organization. We are excited to be blessed with a partnership with Calvary who have graciously granted us permission to use their campus. CEG Live is a larger Christian community event with many different dance, music and film making groups and churches coming together united as Christians in entertainment. Be invitational. Know a group or artist who’d be a perfect fit and love to join in? Invite them and please sign up here <link> We would greatly appreciate it if you could let us know in advance you are coming so that we know to expect you and have sufficient lunch and experienced industry professionals on hand. If not, still come! Need to arrive later? Still come! We will be providing on-site choreographers and chorus leaders to guide you in your part – no need to fret LOL, as it’s meant to be all out fun.
When & Where?
Sign up in advance, but as talent, your call time begins at 8:00 am on Saturday May 20th for hair, makeup, costume and rehearsal. Lunch is at 11 and principal photography from Noon to 2:00pm at Calvary Community Church in Westlake Village.
What is our purpose?
The music video will be cut into various lengths and used as a promo piece showing that Christians in entertainment are united. You’ll soon see it posted up all summer long for CEG social media, so Get Your Groove On! and come and dance and sing your heart out.
What to wear? Be creative and express your personality and style – this is an artist community! 70’s influenced costuming is encouraged. Go to our Pinterest site for photo references or pick your style that shows your personality and creativity and go for it. Our primary colors are blue and orange. The more you can hit those colors the better. Or make a hand painted t-shirt that says something like “dream big. Love more.” This is a crafty music festival vibe. Creativity is encouraged! Bring festival things like blankets, tents, art, banners, instruments, friends and be prepared to sing, dance, play an instrument and have fun. Here is our Pinterest link for ideas. < https://www.pinterest.com/christianentertainmentguild/>
