A Somali filmmaker is looking for Somali actors and actresses for a Somali-American film: “We are shooting a new Somali-American film with multiple themes and story lines that run parallel to each other.This is a no-budget/low-budget kind of movie. This movie will be shot in St. Paul/Minneapolis area. If you live out of state, you whole trip, food and lodging is covered. The exposure to the local film community would be more fulfilling and priceless for a career in movies.”

Furthermore if ur looking for actors to act den that standard which means no funny business den dats all gud.

    How are you doing Mr. Ndesanjo Macha? Before, I make any comment about your proposal, of desiring to meet with young Somalis who could shoot or act in short (unsophisticateted) film, I would like to ask you,do you want individuals as voluntter based that you will compensate what you could offer them, or you have a deal as film director? Second, I like in MN and almost finished AA degree in film and Media production and want to continue my education furhter. therefore, I also intersting to find a motivated African guy who we could work together to make small movies. Are you interesting this type of person?
    Thank you
