Feature Film looking for paper folders...

Post by DaveMadeAMaze »

Hello all,

"Dave Made A Maze" is an independent feature film shooting in the Los Angeles area in May 2015. It follows a frustrated artist who gets lost inside the cardboard fort he builds in his living room. While 80% of the movie takes place on sets made of cardboard (presently being constructed by a skeleton crew of carpenters and sculptors), there is one scene that takes place in an "Origami swamp," littered with hundreds of cranes and various other creatures. We are looking for donated pieces and/or help from origami enthusiasts. If you are in the LA area, we can feed you and provide some company at our shop (as we have already recruited more than a dozen volunteers from our own circles of friends). If you are outside of LA, we would welcome anything that you can send through the mail, and we can cover minimal shipping costs.

Either way, we will happily put your name in the end credits of our movie.

Finally, if a single treasure trove of hundreds of pieces from one source is a possibility, we could find a few hundred dollars in our budget to compensate the donor. I wish that we could offer more than this, but it took us three years to raise the small budget for this film, and we are spread thin across every department.

Please feel free to email me with any suggestions or thoughts: John@DaveMadeAMaze.com

Many thanks in advance,
John Charles Meyer
Producer, "Dave Made A Maze"

P.S. Our film has a fledgling presence on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc), if you'd like to follow our progress and see some behind-the-scenes footage...

Perhaps you'll find people to donate. But it is not polite to ask artists for art for free, even if it's cranes. If you wrote a scene with an origami swamp, then part of your fundraising for the movie should be paying for what it takes to shoot that scene.
