We need quite a few guys to be in a short film being made by members of the Film Making Society. It's called "First Kiss", and is written and directed by me (and based on a true story).
If you're interested, please reply here and we'll organise an audition date.

What Craig's mate Phil? Ok then you're probably safe to volunteer then.
I was the voice of a talking teddy in my junior school play. Now I look back at it I can't imagine why.

actually the best one i was ever in was called shakespeare country (i say i was in it, i was actually in the band). it was a country and western musical based on a midsummer night's dream. how tacky is that!
i can't read 'shall i compare thee to a summer's day' without singing it in my head to the cheesy tune.

A short synopsis of the film (and rather pretentious it is too):
Two strangers happen upon each other in a gay club and strike up a conversation. They talk about the experience common to every openly gay man - coming out - as well as other related experiences of the younger man, shown through the use of humorous flashbacks. All of this leads up to the event in the title, in the true story of a first kiss and the conversation that led to it.
As a side note, there is not actually any kissing involved. If and when you see the script and/or finished film, you'll see why. (And for anyone wondering, the original events this short film is based on took place in the VIP lounge of Heaven in London.)
The parts needed are Philip (an 18-year-old who has been out for several years but has little experience with the gay scene and is quite unsure of himself, both generally and in this environment), Adam (someone slightly older and more familiar with it all... he also works for Gaydar), Philip's extremely camp friends David and Jeff, and two smaller parts (a barman and a miscellaneous student).

Tell me you didn't play Mendelssohn hillbilly style. Please.

No, but I am fascinated at the concept. I think bluegrass counts as world music, I will take my composition and arranging modules in hillbillying up the classics.

The anonymous post above was me. Sorry, I only just realised I wasn't logged in.
If possible I'd really like to set up an audition for this sometime in the not-too-distant future. If you're interested but haven't posted here yet, please either post in this thread, PM me or e-mail me (philipreuben@gmail.com). Please tell any friends you think might be interested too. We can't make this movie without a cast, and sadly that's not looking too promising at the moment :(
so, what would one study as a student of miscellaneousness (is that a word? I'm sure it's not.) Miscellany? I'm banking on it being a degree with no core modules and every single one is an elective. I would have quite liked to have auditioned for that actually, sounds fab! (woo i'm bringing back retro words now)
I do miscellaneous studies. (Was that question for me?) It means I don't do any "straight" single honours or joint honours. I can more or less decide what modules I want to take (I do so within English and Linguistics) and then get all my credits and my grades transferred back to my own University as part of my own degree back in Spain. But I *do* take core modules, mind you, and work as much as anyone else!! :o)

Hi! An update about this. Our (probably) last ditch attempt at trying to get a cast together will be an audition this Friday from 4pm (arriving later is fine!) in ARC meeting room 4. We REALLY want to make this film, but we can't without a cast - so please come along, and drag some friends if possible as well!
