I learned a lot from casting a few projects here and there –
(and interning at some great offices), and I wanted to share some experiences with you.
Sorry it’s long, it’s hard to know what to share and what to hold back over the internet, so I had to keep everything very vague, but I hope it helps you in some small way. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask – or better yet, ask a real casting director who knows way, way more than I do. I bet you can find one on twitter 😉
Here are some links I mentioned, as well as links to things related to casting and self producing that I wish I had when I first moved to town. Research to your heart’s content:
A great blog post written by my producing partner, Verona Blue about casting for the first time: http://codebloo.net/blog/casting-othe…
