Amateur Dramatics Societies?

Where are you...Devon?

I would try contacting drama colleges in your area Rawky.

Thats a good idea Scotty

What about drama students? Tell them it will be great experience for them.

Yes VD, in Devon.

I thought about Drama Students but I would need them to be dedicated to my film for about 2 weeks.  If they're students they may have their studies to focus on.

How about sticking an ad on Gumtree? Its free

When I went to drama college, we were asked to do all sorts of outside projects Skylark. It added to your experience (and cv) and it helped the company who were normally strapped for cash.  

It was a win win. 

Look or advertise in THE STAGE.

Didnt know you went to Drama College, what sort of stuff did you do ?

Cheers Cupcake, I'll look into them. Got a feeling that they might be a bit too 'razzle dazzle' for my super, low budget, horror film.

YW Rawky.    Also as I think people have suggested, try drama schools, colleges, university... maybe put ads in shop windows or ask the college if any drama students fancy a bit of a larf!  your project sounds like fun.

1st year College students might not have anything much on the go right now.  Some FE Colleges run am dram clubs too, where the 2nd 3rd yr students help out with teaching...they might be of use.

At our college the media/drama/music/art departments are all under one umbrella so I know they rope people in from other related departments to help out with vids.

I don`t know if you`ve got a time schedule for your film Rawky, if not, you could always ask them if they can work with you during college holidays.

Yep Scotty a full fortnight's not going to be easy for some people 

   

I'm just sort of guesstimating by saying 2 weeks. Lets say it should last no more than 2 weeks...

Oh you shlaaaaaaaaag

Rawky check your FB! Vantage are hosting a networking evening this Friday for film, TV and cinema, might be worth getting yourself it.

It`s hard to explain Skylark but basically I studied theatre skills from acting to set design/ stage makeup /prop design.Technical stuff like sound and lighting to stage management and working back stage as a dresser. There`s more to it than that but that`s the basics.   
I felt lucky to be offered work in professional theatre after that, (although I was singing professionally before I studied drama and still doing the odd gig while I was at college) I think my singing got me the jobs more than my acting skills, to be honest.      
Still, I enjoyed it all and made some lovely friends that I`ve worked with since and still keep in touch with.

Exactly velvet  

  

How interesting Scotty, sounds great xx

Getting anywhere?

Not as yet VD, almost finished my script so shall start looking then.
