Attaching High Profile Actors to your Production

FRIDAY JUNE 6 from 7-9pm online

CAST TOP TIER ACTORS in your films -new industry survey by renowned film analyst Stephen Follows uncovered a brutal truth: The #1 reason films are rejected by distributors and investors?
No recognizable talent.
From over 300 brutally honest film market professionals, the message was loud and clear:
“We pass on films without familiar actors because they’re too risky. We need projects that stand out instantly in a crowded market."
But there’s good news—you can attract top-tier talent.
Actors don’t just chase big budgets—they chase great roles. If your script offers unforgettable, emotionally rich characters, A-list actors will notice.
So the first thing is to have a great script.
The second thing is to know how to reach top tier actors successfully and that’s not first contacting agents
Want to know more? Do you need to attach a top tier actor to even a short?
And with top talent it’s more likely that your short will make money, your feature will stand out and  gain awards and get you noticed.
We have a course on how to do that.
From “love letters” to how to handle agents, to direct approach to casting directors. Getting a good casting director is actually as hard as getting a top tier actor.
Online course - £49 on Friday June 6 - online 7-9 pm
