I'm sure you've heard this before. "90% of directing is casting".
And to some extent I agree. It of course starts with a killer script, but once you have that, then your actors are gonna make/break your film. My question to some of the vets, have you ever used a casting director? Did you feel they were worth the money? And if you answered yes to both of those, would you have any recommendations for a casting director in the greater L.A. area? With limited to no connections, the odds of me getting a cast I'm happy with are slim-none. Especially a cast with any kind of name that will help with distro. I will hopefully be working in the 100-200k range budget wise. Will go SAG if I am able to get a few names to make it worth the hassle. Thanks in advance for any and all replies
