I was wondering when you have an open casting for your films, do you get the actors for free or pay??
How would I go about getting actors for my upcoming film??
We have just been utilizing actors who work for us for credit( Meaning they can list it on their resumé) and also we provide them with a copy of the film when post has finished.
We post audition notices at many places: Craigslist, DurantCom.com, Zonie and we have also developed a database of 350 Subscribers who are actors, supporters and the media.
We have had great turnouts for our film auditions. People respond to how you word and phrase things. Sound professional and people will treat you that way. We DO want to get to a place with investors where we can pay our actors. Not that we will abandon our current pool of actors but rather have the ability to pay those who have been loyal to us from the beginning. To us their support means alot.
