Cast and Crew needed

We have a comedic 5-page short script that needs to shoot this week
for a contest. But there's no cast, no crew, and no equipment.
Additionally, I only have eight days to have it shot. Quite a
dilemma, I know.

So here's what I need:

* A camera operator, someone who is familiar with and owns a
camcorder. It doesn't have to be a professional model (although that
would be really nice), as long as you know how to use it and it's not
some low-end make, like a Sharp. Preferably, it at least shoots DV so
we can edit it quickly.

* Five cast members. Specifically, one female and four males. One of
the males should be older, early 30s-ish. The rest are 18-25. The
actual age isn't important, the look is. Ethnicity is a non-issue,
and neither are physical attributes (to an extent).

* A film editor. If you have your own editing software, fine, as long
as you know how to use it and can access it quickly. Otherwise, I
have Adobe Premiere somewhere.

That's pretty much it. Other positions, like lighting, I'll gladly
take up. But the above spots are essential. We can start shooting as
soon as the team is assembled. It should only take one or two full
days to complete.

Unfortunately, my budget is really, really sunk. All I can guarantee
for compensation is experience, credit, and copy. However, if the
short does well... we could be talking about much more.

We have to have this shot before June 12th, so please, don't hesitate
to e-mail me with your contact info or any questions you have. If
you're an actor, send a headshot with your inquiry if you could.
Thanks in advance.
