  1. The title says it all. Where are some good places to advertise your casting if you need actors that vary from 18 to 30 years old? I have tried the public job servers like craigslist (with GREAT results!), local Colleges, and... that's about it. What are your favourite sources ? Thanks, -K
  2. Thanks guys - that's good to know. I thought that nonprofit usage of a material wouldn't be a issue for copyright problems. Also, thanks Hal for the link. I'll definitely check it out.
  3. Hi, I am composing a soundtrack to a movie. It is a sports drama with a bit of a 80's overtone, with essential music tracks such as Training montage or Tournament montage. Currently, I'm deciding what type of music to use. The movie is filmed mainly in Czech Republic and viewers from that country would recognize it well. On the other hand, it's meant to be released worldwide. It's a nonprofit movie, so copyright infringement is virtually non-existent. I'm deciding between a 1) purely instrumental soundtrack. That could work well for any audience, but it might distract from the dramatic aspects of a well-written song, which people would memorize and connect with the film. Another opinion is 2) Czech songs + instrumental parts, such as "themes". That way it would be more attractive to national viewers and could be taken as a good local movie. But songs in our language might not sound well for international audiences. 3) English songs + instrumental parts. This way, the movie could be "understandable" for any audience, but it could distance itself from the local audience and appear as too big or too international. Which option would you choose and why? Thanks, -K
  4. Hello, first, I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Kamil Beer, I'm from Czech republic and this is the first time I'm here :) Me and my team are already filming a movie, it has been about a year since we started. It is a very unique movie and I wouldn't really like to spoil it here. We had some major "adventures" since we began - at first, it was just a crazy idea, which suddenly came into reality... we had our first meetings and after several people fell off, what stayed was a great team of dedicated filmmakers. We currently have a team of a Director (me), two PAs, Photographer, Sound master, two cameramen, a Script and a webmaster. We started shooting in November, and a painful issue had already risen: How to schedule the shooting properly. My initial approach was to get every member to tell me a time when they would be able to shoot (and tell them several days in advance) and shoot with them once a week, but after FOUR(!!) bailouts (for less or more important reasons) by an important actor or crew member and a month without shooting, I believe the time has come to take a different approach. My initial idea was to film more frequently, like two or three times, so if one is cancelled, we'd still have time to shoot. What would be the best approach in this situation? Thanks a lot, I really hate cancelling the meetings. -K
