NYC Sci-Fi Short Film June 2026 Job Opportunity ($300 pay ; 10 hour shoot)

(I hope this type of post is alright here)

Hello!
I’m an NYC-based filmmaker working on a grim dark, Sci-Fi short film.

It’d be a single day (10 hour or so) shoot (likely in late June 2026) and we’ve budgeted $300 for artist payment.

Makeup effects needed:
Facial bruising, facial scratches, facial dirt, tears, tear residue (like streaks within the dirt), grime under finger nails, hand/arm dirt, and hand wounds.

Additionally, we may require “pale skin” effects, but currently are leaning toward doing that in post.

We’d be aiming for realistic, not stylized (not Halloween-looking) effects.

If you’re in NYC, the pay sounds fair, and this sounds like something you’d enjoy being a part of, please reply/DM me. I’d love to talk details, share the screenplay, and get it planned out. Thanks so much!
