So do you still want to be in a movie?

[Chris Mitchell]

I received this on Friday, so I guess this applies to the LUG'ers hardcore
enough to be awake on Sunday morning.

(snip forwarded mail)

This is Gretchen Munger, the 2nd assistant director at
Mental Ward Films. I'm dreadfully sorry for sending
this on such short notice, but the first assistant
director who would normally have contacted you is home
battling a virus, and has no access to e-mail, so he
asked me to get in touch with you.

We have one more scene to shoot for the movie that you
were helping us with this Summer, and we need computer
people and gear to make it look good. It will be
located inside, this time, much to the relief of those
of us who have allergies. The scene is to be shot this
Sunday, October 6.

We need enough people to make this authentic looking,
and Dave (2AD) remembered that you had a large group
of contacts, as well as yourself, and Mr. Mitchell. We
would be very glad to see you and any of your friends
there.

Thank you for reading through this, and for any
assistance you might give us.

                               Gretchen Munger.

PS - Here is a text copy of the posters that we've
been sending out, with the rest of the pertinent
information:
