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?

It depends on a number of things: are you planning on hiring a location, do you need permission or a licence if you film outside, will you rely on weather, how many actors you need (and if you plan on paying them), whether or not actors provide their own costumes, what set/prop items you need and whether you can get them free, film editing - do you need a studio or can you do it at home/borrow someone's studio, rental prices on equipment, providing food/catering, rehearsal venue costs, printing costs (of the script), insurance, and all the other variables like phone calls, transport, etc.
These days a small budget film isn't so small...
(From what I gather anyway)
