# i think i'm still blocked from posting anyway.
are you hiring people to do nasty tasks?

# I'm trying to hire actors
which is I guess a nasty task when I have no money to pay them.

I'm considering figuring out how to pick up people off the street.

# i think you want gigs, talent.
what's it for? if it's a prank or a school projest you could try platonic or one of the community sections.

# Good call, I'll try that next
An "art film" that's kind of a theater of the absurd type thing.

I'm not even worrying about what I'm going to do with it, I just want to make it to make something.

# sounds like fun - i'd try community artists, i think.
tell them you'll burn them a dvd of the final cut in exchange for several thousand hours of being treated like cattle.

# That's where I went first
and I told them I would feed them as well.

I like the idea of picking people off the street but I'm pretty sure you can't do that without paying them. I tried it once and the guy was such a pain because he was like "oh hey, a movie, that sounds awesome!" and then I told him he had to get up at 8 am on Saturday and it was pulling teeth from then on in. That guy was kind of crazy though.

# 8:00 am?!
you're the crazyperson. that is an imaginary time.

also, i think a lot of people wouldn't eat something that a guy they met on the street offered them.

# Valid points, all around.
We were fighting crowds in a park and daylight though. This next thing is going to be indoors so maybe I can work in a less horrible call time for people and we can be more casual about when and how long we work.

That guy was crazy though. Thankfully I got some of it on film.

# john waters always wrote scenes in public laundromats into his scripts.
he said it provided him with a free indoor space, and people there were usually too bewildered to realise what was going on.

ask your friends who are servers if they can access you space during downtime in bars and restaurants to use - if you need to, tell the owners/managers they'll get an advert in the end credits for providing space.
