IFC at the Kansas International Film Festival (KIFF) – Weds, 10/6/2010

Posted in August 28, 2010 ¬ 7:33 amh.MattComments Off

The IFC has long been a part of the KIFF and this year is no different. We are hosting a Weds night reception at the Glenwood Theatre located at 95th and Metcalf. The reception starts at 8pm so we need a few folks at 6:30 to help pick up food and beverage, transport  and help setup. The event will go 2-3 hours so we will also need a couple of people to help with tear down. Show your IFC pride – volunteer! If you are interested in helping email Matt at volunteer@ifckc.com.

Actor’s Seminar! THIS SUNDAY!

Posted in August 28, 2010 ¬ 4:57 amh.bestboyeComments Off

(Gang, I spoke with Debbie several times.  She seems legit and cool.  Might be worth the time and money for you.  We know it’s last minute, but I told her I’d post… BB)

Hi IFC-KC!

I spoke w/Brian Boye about a seminar I’m hosting in KC! I know he’s traveling & not sure who else to send this to – so to be safe, I’m sending it to you ALL!
I first became attracted to KC talent when I was casting for the Coen Brothers (TRUE GRIT) in Tulsa, OK, last fall. I auditioned several actors from your region for principle roles and was very impressed! I sent casting notices out to KC agents for our Round #2 – and remained impressed!!
We’d be happy to offer a 50% discount to all your members! Is it possible to send a blurb or post?
Please contact us w/ any questions!
