Expand commentfind actors that are passionate, available emotionally and not egomaniacs. shows like The Vampire Diaries hired people who for the most part had never been heard of before, but they had this intense desire to become what the directors needed and so became so believeable and beloved that they have had 100+ series now! Good luck!

Dear Indy Filmmakers, Let me break it down: I work out for 1 1/2 hour in the morning and one more hour most evenings so I will be in shape for your movie.

Expand postDear Indy Filmmakers, Let me break it down: I work out for 1 1/2 hour in the morning and one more hour most evenings so I will be in shape for your movie. I pay $125 a year to be on IMDB so you will know what I have done lately and that yes I am reason that Twelve Years a Slave won best picture and the reason True Detective is the number one cable show. I pay $450 a year to be on the casting sites and about $600 a year to keep my head shots current so you know what I look like today and I don't waste your time. I spend $150 a month for acting training, plus rehearsing scene workshops to keep the skills honed that I spent over 5 years at $350 a month mastering, ready for your movie. I've been a fighter and stunt player, stunt coordinated countless films, and spent thousands on stunt equipment and months in the hospital injured. I spend about $4 in gas and $2 in parking to do an audition for you. So when you want me to come make your movie for free or deferred, I think it is understandable that I might want to throw you out a window! You,re Welcome!

I am talking about the filmmaker that make a film with the idea that that will profit from it and yet want to pay actors nothing. If you are a film maker then get funding and hire your talent.

Expand commentI don't understand why an indie filmmaker would be asking a professional actor to work on a film no one is being paid for, unless they are friends with the actor. That said there are many highly talented actors of all ages that have not a credit that an indie filmmakers can audition to get a film made and funded. It is a win win for all, and many careers are started this way.

Expand commentTom, well said! 'If you are a film maker then get funding and hire your talent'. 2013 I was cast in two Indie films. In both cases the funding came from a baker plus savings from jobs in the industry. Both film makers wrote their own scripts, directed and produced. We were paid £25 per filming day, and the remaining £175 per filming day will be paid when the Initial Production Budget has been achieved. Both directors are highly sought after to work with, which clinched the deal for many of us who were offered the parts. I come to the conclusion that actors could take a cut if the script is brilliant and the director a genius. Otherwise no pay, no play!
