Association Blog #3

2/2  The next conflict is sheer scheduling for the film. I work two jobs to pursue this dream. The actors all have jobs to chase their dream. And here is another truth about indie film-making. The more desirable and talented the actor. The less they will be available. Seems obvious right?

But countless directors including myself still make the mistake/hope of casting all the best actors they can for the film. But these great actors are also working on numerous films and plays. So think twice when choosing actors for smaller parts. Do you really want to go through scheduling nightmares for the character that has six lines. No you don't trust me. Go with the good actor who is availability is way better and make them great. It is your job. 

The dirty truth is sometimes the best person for the role just isn't an option. Learn to deal and move on.
