I have no issue with casting actors outside of my immediate circle of friends (We have a casting day for our next film set up for Friday with ~40 people coming in, whittled down from over 100 responses), I just think it's unrealistic to have that as requirement for a friendly video contest you'll be filming in a weekend. As it is, if I compete in this contest I'll just be filming myself, or creating an animation this month, because I'm having anyone who'd be willing to work for free help out with my bigger project.
