CREW OPEN CALL: ALL IS PRETTY MAD

A sum­mer day in a Ber­lin park holds the who­le weight of being trans — the come­dy, the ten­der­ness, and the bureau­cra­tic vio­lence.

We are cre­wing up for All Is Pret­ty Mad, an inde­pen­dent short film set enti­re­ly in Berlin’s Gör­lit­zer Park. The film balan­ces dead­pan absur­dism with working-class ten­der­ness, moving from God-like aeri­al views down to inti­ma­te, hand­held con­ver­sa­ti­ons.

Pro­ject Details
• Loca­ti­on: Gör­lit­zer Park, Ber­lin.
• Timing: June 19th & per­haps 20th
• Visu­al Style: Long takes, shal­low depth of field for inti­ma­cy, and a warm, gol­den color palet­te.
• Sound­scape: Dia­lo­gue-hea­vy with cru­cial ambi­ent park noi­se and deli­be­ra­te moments of pure silence.

Came­ra & Light­ing Depart­ment

• Gaf­fer: To help us shape and maxi­mi­ze warm, natu­ra­li­stic sun-dren­ched light­ing wit­hout ever fee­ling cold.
• Key Grip: For rig­ging, came­ra sup­port, and main­tai­ning smooth long takes.

• Pro­duc­tion Assistants: Run­ners and gene­ral sup­port to keep the set moving effi­ci­ent­ly.

Art, Ward­ro­be & Make­up

Cha­rac­ters must feel com­ple­te­ly groun­ded in rea­li­ty, even during moments of absurd come­dy and hosti­le encoun­ters.

• Hair and Make­up Artist: To main­tain natu­ra­li­stic, sun-kissed looks for the sum­mer set­ting.

Sound Depart­ment

The sound­track reli­es on cap­tu­ring the orga­nic life of the park—distant bar­be­cues, kids, and a vendor’s recur­ring chant—which ser­ves as a musi­cal motif.

• Boom Ope­ra­tor: To expert­ly cap­tu­re crisp dia­lo­gue and dyna­mic envi­ron­men­tal sound, as well as dead-silent dra­ma­tic cues.
