This summer we are shooting a film in the Davis area as well as the Bay Area. For this film we are hiring mostly professional people, save a few roles such as this posting. We need a person who can be a costumer - what does the costumer do for this film in particular? Glad you asked.

The costumer is not the same as the costume designer. Costumes are pre-designed, you simply are the scouter. You should have knowledge of where to attain certain *exact* types of clothing, and hopefully for the lowest prices you can find (sometimes they aren't the lowest, that is okay). For this role, due to the protagonist's wardrobe, you will need to be a somewhat skilled scouter of vintage stores, for we are asking for you to procure several certain kinds of vintage dress, ones that aren't always easy to find. With that, knowing most vintage stores are located in the bay area, most likely San Francisco, you should have a general knowledge of where to go, or at least find out.

This film is being submitted to Sundance, let alone the festival circuit, and we all take our jobs very seriously. You should too. It is a professional's job and it comes with a professional's pay.
