FEATURE FILM "EDEN" Background Extras needed- Aug. 8 - Sep. 10
EDEN - A powerful new feature film to be shot on location in Seattle
and Eastern Washington.
FILMING DATES: August 8- September 10, 2011
DIRECTED BY: Megan Griffiths
PRODUCED BY: Colin Plank and Jacob Mosler
SCREENPLAY BY: Richard B. Phillips and Megan Griffiths
STORY BY: Richard B. Phillips and Chong Kim
STARRING: Jamie Chung and Scoot McNairy
SYNOPSIS: Inspired by the true story of Chong Kim. A survivor of
domestic human trafficking and sexual slavery.
Hollywood Reporter article:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/hangover-ii-star-jamie-chung-205931
IN 1994 a Korean-American teenager, Hyun Jae, went to a bar in New
Mexico where a handsome young man posing as a firefighter bought her
drinks and offered her a ride home. At that point she was abducted,
thrown into the the truck of a car and smuggled into Las Vegas, where
she was imprisoned in a storage facility-turned-brothel for two years.
During her captivity, Hyun Jae (dubbed Eden by her captors) ensured
her own survival by steadily carving out power and influence within
the very organization that imprisoned her. Inspired by the complex and
harrowing true story of human trafficking survivor Chong Kim, Eden
peers into the darkest corners of America and attempts to discover the
humanity within.
DIRECTOR'S NOTE:
Eden shines a light on the very real and prevalent issue of domestic
human trafficking. While the film contains some shocking imagery, I
believe that portraying this dark part of our world truthfully and
unflinchingly is vitally important. In order to raise awareness of the
issue, people must first come to terms with the fact that this problem
exists, and it exists within our own borders. It is a terrifying
reality that sexual trafficking of very young girls grows more
insidious each day, and until the average American takes action, the
problem will only spread. I hope that you might consider participating
in the production of this film in some way, but also that you take
this opportunity to find out what you can do to help put an end to
this widespread and despicable crime.- Megan Griffiths
INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY... Chong Kim is a survivor of human
trafficking and sexual slavery. She has worked for the past decade as
an advocate for human trafficking victims and was acknowledged in 2006
by the National Campaign for Tolerance. Since 2007, she has been
working as a consultant to the National Guard and other law
enforcement agencies in the US to help combat the proliferation of
human trafficking and sexual slavery domestically and abroad. Chong
collaborated with Rick Phillips to co-write the story for the
screenplay, Eden, inspired by her experience.

Background Talent and 2 Key Performers for Movie Theater Still Photo
Hi there,
We're shooting a small project for a local non-profit in Seattle, WA to publicize an upcoming horror film fest.
We're populating a movie theater for a still photo on Wednesday, July 20th. These roles are unpaid and we were hoping to touch base with those interested in sitting in the scene for a couple hours.
We'd also be interested in chatting with local talent that have the
facial/bone structure that is rather chiseled so as to transform the
individual into the look of. . . wait for it. . . the Bride of Frankenstein
AND Frankenstein.
Any performers that meet the specs for the Frankenstein performers should send a very recent image or two as well.
Many thanks in advance.
