Search for Actors

  Initially, we had two actors chosen - One being a friend of Johnny's, the others Alli's. However, the week before filming we were let down by both, leaving us searching for new actors in time for filming. I sent a number of emails to different people on a drama course at the Uni to see if they would be interested, however we found that many of them had rehearsals for their final show the week we needed. I advised Johnny to put adverts up on websites such as 'StarNow' to see who would reply, as well as emailing different colleges in the area to see if there are any students on these courses that may be interested.
  Because Johnny isn't as comfortable with writing, I followed up these ideas myself:

Sent to Act One drama studio:
I received no reply from the college.

Listing put up using www.starnow.com:
I gained many replies from using this website. However, by this time Johnny had already found some actors, and I feel that these would be more reliable as they go to the University. Our Female Lead will be played by Georgia King and I am currently unsure of the male actors name.

Here are some responses that I had from the website:

The last two actresses would have been the best match for the part and although we will not be using them, it has been helpful to know what their views on the film are (as stated in their comments section).
