"PCS CAST & CREW CALL" Wednesday May 20
On May 20, the ten selected writers/producers will introduce themselves and invite your participation. Experience and inexperienced actors, directors, producers, production, post-production. location scouts, and "craft services" are invited to attend and select which volunteer team you would like to help. Introduce yourself and maybe you will be "cast" or selected to help produce a film to be seen on the Big Screen at the Crest Theater October 4 and posted "on-demand" at www.AccessSacramento.org
Bring your business cards, resumes, head shots, etc. if you have them but they are not necessary. This is NOT a traditional "stand-in- line audition". Plan to attend from the very beginning (6:00 PM sharp) to hear the scripts and then introduce yourself to the filmmakers of your choosing.
Join the fun this summer and help make a movie about y our hometown. All ages are invited. Invite your friends and family - we expect to see more than 200 people but hundreds more can be accommodated. Access Sacramento builds community by making movies - only in a place called Sacramento.

The Crest Theatre is located at 1013 K Street,
between 10th and 11th on the K Street Pedestrian Mall. Safe and convenient parking is available
at 10th and L streets (1/2 block from the Crest theatre). This is a city lot and tickets are validated at the Crest Box Office.
The site that the Crest Theatre sits on has housed a theatre since 1912. The first, the Empress, was a vaudeville theatre which opened in 1913. The second, The Hippodrome, was originally a vaudeville house which converted to a motion picture theatre in the late 1920's. In 1946, the Hippodrome interior was demolished and the Crest was built inside the Hippodrome building shell.
Detailed directions are available on the Crest Website. http://www.thecrest.com/
