  1. RE: Interested in crewing up.

    Greetings:

    Very happy to hear another film is being made in Mississippi. 
    Congratulations to all involved with the James Brown project.

    My name is John Dellenger and I am a filmmaker.
    I am a Mississippi native, and currently live in Biloxi, Mississippi. 
    Relocating to support a Mississippi film is fine with me.

    I recently just wrapped as the Second AC for the film ” Artist Die Best In Black”, which was recently filmed on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. 

    If you need an excellent Location Scout in pre-production let me know. I would be happy to help. I tour on my motorcycle whenever I get the chance. During this time I film, photograph, and write. 
    Recording accurate exposures, along with the time of day is a cinch for me for locations.

    I am organized, effective, and a good listener for understanding the best location available.

    I know about handling releases, contracts rentals,and agreements for locations. 
    Also, working with city officials, ordinances, government, business owners, and residents.
    I have worked in many different roles and departments while helping with films. This has included Director, Director Of Photography, First AC, Second AC, Location Scout, Location Manager, Art Department, and Props.

    I hope to be hear from you soon about how I may be of some assistance in helping with the film James Brown.

    Makeup and effects, pyrotechnics, raising money, and getting distribution. One can always learn new things in filmmaking. One of the reasons I enjoy it so much.

    Attached is my resume. I can be reached at 228-243-9594

    Sincerely,

    John Dellenger
