Upcoming auditions for locally based independent feature film...

I 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?

try ringing up the blue

try ringing up the blue room in perth see if anyone there is willing to look at the script or they may know someone who will. then you will be able to see if it will work and what you may need to do to it. they will also have people they know on the technical side of things. fine to workshop it but film is a shit load different to theatre. sure if you get great actors willing to give it a go will not always make it work. if it is dialogue intensive then it may not reflect as well so you may need to change it to more visual for certain parts etc etc. even take it to one of the film teachers at some of the unis around the place. some of the film students in perth are actually quite talented ie the screen academy at WAAPA. there is also an independant group of film,writer and actors that have an In the Can Festival at bar 138 in perth once a month. just get advice about the technicallity of the script before you go ahead. good luck.
