After 1500+ headshots and over 200 auditions, we are still casting. This is actually my producer’s favorite stage of production — choosing who will be included in the project and will play the characters forever captured on film (or HD — “film” sounded more poetic). I am extremely excited as we’ve attached some wonderfully talented performers over the weekend who are eager and excited for the challenge — working with them will be a blast.

I’m hoping to find someone who will bring their talent to elevate the film to another level that I could only dream of (but [...]
