I got a call from a producer/actor I've worked with before who was about to head off to China and Korea to pitch some action films to a couple of investment groups. Million dollar budgets, plus or minus. That'll get you a medium-sized dust bunny in Hollywood, but it's high-end for me. So he could use an inexpensively-priced "action star" to include in the pitch (and then you get the more expensive, bigger-name stars to pop into a few brief but pivotal roles that can be shot in a day or two). I'm scheduled to be doing a film in China being funded by one such investment group in a few months anyway, so at least I'm not a complete unknown to them.
The maddening part is how little I actually have footage from. With independent film, who knows when it'll ever get distributed or when (more accurately, *if*) the producer will ever get you the copy that you'd been promised back during production?
I don't know if I can compete with Minendo's flaming onion of mystery, but here's what I managed to toss together with what notice I had: http://www.trygve.com/trygvereel01.wmv (nine and a half megs of it). It's a start. I can always redo it (and add sound effects, etc.) when I get ahold of some more footage to work with.
