Hello Everyone,
I had a fun, nerve wracking 16 days (12-16 hours) and wrapped my first feature. You can see a local story here. http://www.jrn.com/kivitv/news/Local-teen-makes-independent-film-in-Eagle-271625141.html
I was able to get Terry Kiser (Bernie/dead guy/weekend at bernies) in my film.
While it's being edited I'm now introducing myself to Indie people on different sites. This is my first site.
I learned a ton doing this. I cast through AA and got all of my number one choices to believe in me and come from New York, Chicago,Ca and Texas to Idaho. Well I didnttell them I was 17 until 2 video call backs and my fist skyped audition with them.
While I'm smart enough to know this wont win an academy award I have been told there might be a market somewhere because of my age. Someone told me I'm the youngest to ever make a feature. I dont care about that and I never Googled as I'm sure it is inaccurate anyway.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to market this with the age factor? I am sending out my first press release this week.
I did end up casting the number one dj's for bit parts along with the entertainment writer of the largest paper in the state. I feel locally I'm covered with getting the word out.
Thanks if you are still reading. Oh, I'm sorry my first post was asking for advice. :/
