Making a short film?

Question

i live by salinas, ca and i am going to start a short film project, and i really need people to help me out on the movie, but i just don't know that many people. what should i do, or should i just post flyers.

If anybody has any suggestions please help me out.

Thank You!

Answer 1

Yeah definitely put up flyers!  I recently made a short film and needed a bunch of extras so I made a group on facebook and invited all of my friends and asked them to invite their friends that might be interested.  It worked pretty well for me.  If you don't do facebook you could probably do something similar on myspace.  Luckily we live in CA where pretty much everyone wants to be famous so it shouldn't be too hard to find people that want to help out.  I am a film student and I know if I lived closer to Salinas I would want to help!

Answer 2

Put an ad in craigslist.org.

Answer 3

www.craigslist.com then post in gigs-talent

Answer 4

your problem won't be to find actors and actresses, it's to control them so you get the results your looking for.  Good luck
