:: Camerado’s FREEDOM DEAL to begin script workshopping / SEEKING
DPs and other interested int’l partners ::

FREEDOM DEAL, a social issue drama (ala "Blood Diamond") will be
Camerado's third feature, following our first award winning effort,
"BookWars", and our second, the social issue drama, "Lost in New
Mexico".

FREEDOM DEAL is the story of two internally displaced Cambodians
during the US incursion into Cambodia in May 1970, as the US sought to
liquidate NVA and Viet Cong sanctuaries along the Cambodia-VN border
regions. This action in turn sparked civil unrest in the
States--leading in turn to the shootings at Kent State University.

A treatment is available for interested international and regional
production partners; please email camerado@camerado.com for details .

Camerado plans to commence workshopping the first draft of the script
in January 2010, in association with community members along the
Cambodian-VN border who experienced the US incursion and B52 MENU &
Arclight activity firsthand.

We're seeking an additional $3500 to commence script workshopping
with adequate production support in order to document the process;
interested contributors who would like to support our efforts, please
visit the "Freedom Deal" page at the Media Alliance website @

http://media-alliance.stores.yahoo.net/intomac6hrme.html

Supporters contributing $1000 or more are invited to accompany the
Camerado team to the "Fishhook" area along the Cambodia-VN border to
participate in the script workshopping process this January; please
contact us at camerado@camerado.com for details.

...afterwards, continue your travels through Cambodia and the rest of
SE Asia. If you've never been over here, "Freedom Deal" Stage 1 may be
your best reason to come over, while participating in an innovative
new social issue media project.

We're also seeking an International DP who have experience shooting
social realism or doc-style fiction in a small crew situation (some
"run and gun" ability required).

Please send DP reels to:

HURRICANE: the life of an independent filmmaker

[Creative non-fiction, 402 pp, Author Rozezze]

5.0 out of 5 stars "Raw, Real, Riveting Read by Rozezze!", By T. S.
Merrill "HeavySugarRadio" (Hollywood, CA) --> ' "Hurricane" is a
blast. It's an unbridled trip through the slightly damaged psyche of a
completely independent filmmaker-author-actor and all-around
raconteur. From the sleepy burg of "Shaggy Balls, Ohio" to the mean
(and I mean *mean*) streets of NYC to the jungles of deepest, darkest
Cambodia, Rozezze takes you places you've never been...the book is
hilarious, haunting and horrifying by turns, sometimes all at once.
And that's the stone bloody truth. Read it! ' - TSM
