Upcoming auditions for locally based independent feature film...
Wed, 6 June 2007, 10:26 amI have only just registered with this site and my sole purpose for doing so is to get the
ball rolling for casting/auditions for a low-budget independent feature film that I have
written and am looking to direct at some stage in the future.
The film is a dialogue driven ensemble comedy with eight major parts and a few cameos.
The reason I am doing it on this site is that it is probably better suited to theatre actors,
also, my experience is more in theatre than film. Finally, I am still toying with the idea as
putting it together as a play if I cannot get the technical assistance I need to make it as
a film.
At this stage, I am just looking at whether it is worthwhile starting an auditioning process.
Any ideas?
Technical costs
Wed, 6 June 2007, 02:33 pmI realise this stuff costs money, but I must admit I just don't enough about it yet to put together an accurate budget. From a technical side of things (so exclude costs of actors, set, costumes, location etc and also post-production), what is the least you could spend in putting together a (and this is obviously no more than a guess) 6-day shoot at one location. Keep in mind, it is going to be shot kind of documentary style, which should be a little more forgiving.
I have tried to cost this stuff myself, but I'd be interested in any opinions.
