Shooting Stars

The Shoot Out Newcastle offers actors an opportunity to show the world how much they want to be a star.

Actors 16 years and over can register to be a Shooting Star at The Shoot Out Newcastle 2008.

Actors who register to be a Shooting Star must attempt to appear in as many films as possible made for The Shoot Out over the 24 hour period from 9pm Friday night 11th   July to 9pm Saturday night 12th July.

This is a unique opportunity to build experience, confidence and networks.

The most ambitious Shooting Star is the one who manages to make a legitimate appearance in the most number of films. The prize for the most ambitious Shooting Star is a workshop and casting interview with key agents in the industry.

The number of Shooting Stars eligible to compete will be limited to 30.

Registrations for Shooting Stars close Thursday 10th July 2008.

How it works…

All the filmmaking teams participating in The Shoot Out Newcastle 2008 will be provided with the contact mobile number and photo for all Shooting Stars. The Shooting Stars 2008 are the official actors of The Shoot Out Newcastle 2008

During the 24 hours, the filmmaking teams that require actors (lead and/or extras) will be able to contact the Shooting Stars. Therefore it is compulsory that Shooting Stars have a charged mobile phone for the duration of the competition.

Shooting Stars are not given contact numbers for the producers or directors from the filmmaking teams but they can approach directors/producers on registration night or during the course of the 24-hour event to grab a part in a film (lead and/or extra).

Hint: most of filmmaking teams will be moving from one location item to another around the city. Shooting Stars will be provided with a list of the items on the night of registration

If a Shooting Star is asked to appear in a film, the director or producer must verify the legitimacy of the appearance by signing the Shooting Star Verification Form that each Shooting Star must hand in at the completion of the competition.

Non-verified appearances will not be credited as legitimate.

The Shoot Out Newcastle 2008 dares its Shooting Stars to use their initiative to get into as many films as possible in 24 hours!
