INTRODUCING OUR TALENTED TEAM
Don’t Call Us Productions proudly introduce the extra talent that will make this film a winner.
We have pulled together a group of extremely attractive and massively resourceful friends who, on the big day, will ignore our tantrums, disregard our bossiness and get on with doing what they do best: creating stuff, inventing stuff, finding stuff, and generally stuffing around. We welcome them warmly, and warn other 48-hour teams to keep their hands off our people!

Ian Smail: The Stuffmeister extraordinaire. A man with a shed full of stuff he just knew would come in handy one day. At a moments notice this stuff could be transformed into a castle, a German tank, or a deformed alien baby. Who needs Mitre Ten when we’ve got Mighty Ian!
Oscar Casley: Oscar has the stuff superstars are made of, and he’s sharing it with us!!!! With an established career in his band Twang Grunty, it was a real score nabbing Oscar to do sound, and he’s already pumping out the good stuff for us. We’re confident our film will be as good as it gets, even if you watch it with your eyes closed.
Phillip Ratapu: Directors Assistant with all the right stuff. Resourceful, calm under fire, a multitasking mega man who knows how to chill the ladies when we get a little bit crazy. He makes a mean kina sushi too, so we’re sure not to starve of anything with our superman Phillip around.
Melody Craw: Award winning costume and wearable art designer, Melody can make you look good in a tea towel and hibiscus tiara. Turned on by chaos and spontaneity, Melody is a woman born to the 48-Hour challenge. There’s stuff-all Mel doesn’t know about costuming or making props or creation of any kind, and we celebrate her.
Glenda Gibbs: If stuffs got to be gotten then Glenda will get it. Our gorgeous gofer who’s sweet smile and twinkley eyes would stop a super-stressor in their tracks. Glenda’s got access to the kinda stuff that’ll help us survive: Coffee, food, a hot water bottle, and kind words like “Pull yourself together you egomaniac”. She’s our camp mother, and we adore her.
Ingrid Walsh: Don’t ask Ingrid how she makes blood and brain matter – some things a best left a mystery. Our make-up magician, Ingrid has an established reputation in theatre make-up, but her favourite thing is making gore from stuff in her well-stocked pantry. Ingrid is creative behind the scenes, turning her talents to costumes and props and anything that requires the reworking of stuff.
Andrew Harvey: Boom-Boy. Andrew did a quick course in boom operation on the Internet last night. We know he definitely has the right stuff for this job: Tall, strong, handsome, extremely keen, and quite delusional about how this job will make him famous one day. A robust and calm natured man, Andrew is ready to be yelled at by the Director, and shoved aside by actors. He will do all this for a free coffee.

Ian has titivated the house, turning it into Jerry's ordered world. Oscar is in the garage now, makin' music. Melody has just transformed Jerry into a closet tranny. Ingrid has managed some blood and gore, even though this is a romance! Glenda has gone for coffees, and a pill box and plastic flower. She just goes and goes. Phillip has done the DA all day, and is suspiciously calm (i want some of what he's on!). Andrew boomboy is very worried about the unintended sound effects created by the crazy man who decided that today was the day he would crank up his wood chipper!! They have all been on deck since 5am, and still smiling. We love our team!
