If I were to make a film without my friends, I would need some actors which equals money. The part I want to know is how much would the actors get paid? Do they get paid everyday that they are supposed to show up and act? every week? every month? Do they get paid per hour? Do they get any profit after the film has been distributed?
Actors?
- Thread starter Crystal Blue Pictures
- Start date
I'm sure there are plenty of actors that are willing to work for free. Check the local colleges and universities' theater departments. And Craigslist might be useful as well.
However, if you have the budget, pay them. I'll wait for someone else to tell you how much. Don't know myself.

I'm getting great responses from Mandy.com, NYCasting.com, and I paid $70 for BackStage.com's ad. But the responses are worth it. That's where I found an acrobat / actress and some martial artists.

They get paid as much or as little as you - the producer - decide.
As others have said, many will work for free. You can pay them
just a few dollars or several hundred.
If you are hiring actors for just one day, they should be paid for
that day. If you hire them for less than a week (two or three days)
you can pay them at the end of their work week. If they are
employed for several weeks you would pay then each week.
You can choose to offer them a percentage of the profits or not. It's
up to you, the producer.
do the actors need to sign a contract or something before they start to work?
They sign a release form that allows you to use their images in your film and advertising.
