Cinematographer Needed for Short HD Film, Shooting August 18-19

We are looking for a cinematographer to design the lighting and visual style for a short HD film called Daily Bread. The ideal candidate is willing to work for free, as most of our production team are unpaid volunteers, though we may be able to negotiate a small stipend for an exceptional candidate.

Daily Bread is the story of a college student who begins receiving notes from God in the midst of planning a major campus event. The theme is trusting God in every situation, and we are producing it in conjunction with Ascension Lutheran Church in Thousand Oaks, who is providing us with a small budget. We are shooting the weekend of August 18-19 at the church and at California Lutheran University (also in Thousand Oaks). Our primary goal is ministry through quality filmmaking with an inspirational message that is powerful but not "in-your-face".

Daily Bread will be shot in the HDV format, with a final running time of 10 minutes. We will screen initially at Ascension Church and California Lutheran University, and then plan to enter the film in festivals.
