Casting in Indie Filmmaking

Video Transcript

Hello I’m Corey Turner here on ExpertVillage.com and today we’re talking about low budget moving making. The next important thing to do when you’re ready to make your movie is to decide who is going to be in it. What actors are you going to use? Who is going to be your talent? There’s a lot of factors involved here because no matter how good your film looks, no matter what grade of camera it is, no matter how much production value you put into it, if your actors cannot deliver their lines and look bad on camera, your film is doomed. So you want to take special care when you’re doing your casting. So set up your casting, have people come and do a casting call. Let your actor friends know, let them tell everybody around, if you can run ads run ads, if you can release something to an agency in your town release something to your agency in your town if you can. But get actors in, don’t just cast your friends, we love our friends if they’re good actors lets use them. But you’re getting ready to probably put three months to four months of your life into this movie, we need people who can produce the type of performances that you need.
