I have been trying to make a short film for about a year now, but everytime I try to cast and crew it, it keeps never been made. They always get called into work and have to go. Their day jobs are almost always what gets in the way, especially if they have two or more. Either that or it's their kids.
I would like to hire cast and crew, where that is their job. They don't have any job accept being hired to make movies. That way, I can get a short film shot within a reasonable amount of time, and it will get finished before an actor decides to change his/her hair, or loose a noticeable amount of weight, or something, that will cause a mismatch in continuity.
I mean it's understandable why professional movie industries and Hollywood hire actors who have no other jobs they have to put first. It's because they wouldn't get movies made therefore. So I would like to do the same thing, so I can actually get something made and finished.
I am also willing to pay more money as well for that type of professionalism. However, when I put out adds for casting, no one is responding who doesn't have other jobs. Plus if you put on the casting call, that you will only hire actors who have no day jobs and acting is all they do, that can kill morale on a casting call, right there. So where exactly could I find these types of actors, DPs, PSMs, etc?
