Lol, I completely agree with you, except we had a hell of a time trying to re-cast the lead, of which pretty much every scene revolved around him. Now that we've found him, yeah, the plan is to shoot fast.

I'm still pretty new at directing and producing and all the many hats rolled into one. After writing for years, I decided to do a web series (which I mentioned on another thread) last summer and directed one episode. I've treated the whole experience as a start-up. Now, after a year and major...

I think it's turning off potential actors. We already have a great cast in place (although, I've already lost two actors based on scheduling; not too sore about that). I'd like to think that this project doesn't fall within the mainstream in the central North Carolina film community. The...

Thanks for the input. Definitely wouldn't have any issues if I lived in Hollywood, lol. I've tried looking into the university theater groups in the area (University of North Carolina and North Carolina State), but like I said before, I think the concept is what's turning people off (at least...

Well, last night I sent an email to the guy to let him know that I'm going to re-cast the lead role. I thanked him for his hard work and dedication to the role and wished him luck. I haven't heard back from him, which is another can of worms. I sent him a similar email last week telling him...

Hey, I have an issue that I'm sure isn't new. Forgive me for the long-winded response; it's just that I am at my wits end. I started a web series last summer; it was my first time as a director. I've been writing screenplays for a little over 10 years and I decided that the only way to try...
