(This is Part Ten of an
ongoing series to help educate aspiring filmmakers on the process of
making their first film. Previous articles in this series can be found
at BleedingCool.com and MovieIndustry.com)
At the risk of dwelling on this topic a bit too long, I’m devoting
one more article to the casting process. In the two previous outings we

on this subject, I’d like to offer up some suggestions for the nuts and
bolts of the auditioning process.
