In an effort to better facilitate the learning of effective casting and to help students find talented, trained professional actors to appear in their films, the Film Program at the UCF School of Visual Arts & Design hosts a General Casting Call at the start of every Fall semester. Actors will have the chance to audition for dozens of student directors with films heading into production; students will be able to participate in a real casting session and learn effective casting skills under direct faculty supervision. At the end of the day an informal postmortem and Casting Meet & Greet, with refreshments, will be held for actors and students to talk/learn about the casting process, their experiences during casting sessions, and mingle to discuss their projects. The SVAD Film Program is excited to offer this annual event to enhance the relationship between its filmmakers and area actors.
Details on how interested area actors can sign up will be posted soon.
Film students are encouraged to attend the entire event, details for participating students will be addressed in class and posted soon.
