Movie Opportunities 10/26/05

We are in the process of preparing to shoot portions of the Warner Bros/Clint Eastwood feature film "Flags of our Fathers" in the Chicago area in the last part of October.

The show is a World War II movie about the lives and experiences of the 6 men who raised the flag in Iwo Jima.

The portion in Chicago has to do with the war bond drives and will be shot at Soldiers' Field, Wrigley Field and various locations in the downtown area.

We are interested in renting background cars, taxi cabs, police cars and limos in the early 40's.

If you have any members or ideas please contact me at any of the following numbers.

The e-mail would be best since we are now shooting in Iceland and it would be easier for me to call you back.

Thanks

filmmaking buddies.

We're shooting in Waukegan next week March 13-18. On the 14th, 15th
