Needs for Getting to God - The Documentary

Back to documentary page

​

Hello all, 

In making my documentary, I have opportunities for people and their things to show up in the film. I have no budget, so I cannot pay anyone, but how cool it might be to see yourself, your arm, your ears (etc.) or something you own that’s special to you in a documentary. 

 

Maybe you’d love to have something sentimental or your favorite automobile, antique or machine on film. There are also opportunities to do some easy, volunteer acting. If you have any interest, ideas or if you know of any great locations where I might find shots, please look this list over and contact me in person or via the contact page at https://www.gettingtogod.com/contact

 

Any in-person activity will most likely have to happen in or around us in Bloomington, Indiana; but we’re not opposed to travel if we can find the resources. 

​

Thanks, 

Shawn Keenan
