The Big reTHiNK Seeks Film-maker(s)

December 11th, 2011 by likemindsmbc Leave a reply »

We are pleased to confirm that we will be running a reTHiNK Theatre Challenge in 2012, and are currently seeking competitive quotes to film and edit the Gala performance to be used as a Like Minds, Like Mine resource (Auckland Major Venue to be confirmed)

The Big reTHiNK 2012 will challenge the myths and stereotypes of Mental Illness through the avenue of multi-genre performance.

reTHiNK is proudly supported by Mind and Body Consultants Ltd and The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand as part of the Like Minds, Like Mine programme (Think “The John Kirwan ads on TV”) to reduce stigma and discrimination.

The approximate dates for reTHiNK performances at this stage are the 27th – 29th of October 2012 with the Charity Gala on the Sunday (29th)

reTHiNK is a charity event and seeks sponsors to operate.  As such the budget is small, and proceeds of the Gala will go towards making reTHiNK sustainable.

If you are interested, could you please submit a quote for the filming and editing of both or either;

  • The Gala Performance Only
  • Documentary style film charting the process and final performance/s

By Monday the 30th January 2012.

For your information, we are currently seeking a theme and additional prize/award sponsors, so if you are interested in submitting a Theme or being a sponsor, please let us know.

For history and more information please visit www.rethink.org.nz (Please note the current website is under construction while the new custom-designed website is being built. This will be launched in March)

We will also be inviting submissions from venues, writers, performers, directors, filmmakers, comedians and crew from everywhere in March 2012 so make sure your signed up (top right of the website) to receive updates if you are interested in getting involved.

Key skills sought: 
Start date: Monday, 1 October 2012
End date: Friday, 30 November 2012
Closing Date for Quote Submissions: Monday, 30 January 2012
