"Mark my Word, my short will be in Sundance Next Year"
Yeah I said it. I got a kick ass script. Experience and connected producers and director. About to lock in a DP who is proven with the Red One and we will be well funded. Got everything lined up....except casting. I'm in NYC so there is definitely a lot of talent but still very worried about it. One character in particular, Big Country. A tall loud larger than life southern college student. Well educated and articulate but doesn't hide his southern roots who can quote UGK as well as Milton Friedman. This character is the source of much entertainment and can make or break them film.
We will do a casting call and hire a casting agent but I am totally open to casting suggestions. Any ideas?

Now I need to come up with a wish list for a female lead. Smart, serious pre-med college sister. Like a lot of male writers I haven't given this character as much consideration as the male leads. I could only come up with Zoe Kravitz not because I have seen her work but because she looks good and would add good buzz value. Any other young actress out there worth adding to the wish list?
Also, as far as casting goes I am fixated on these women http://thosegirlsarewild.com/videos/. I think its rare to find attractive funny women. What y'all think?

out of 250 submissions we invited 50 people in to audition. About 35 showed up to audition. There was a range of talent. From Video chicks to off broadway theater people. The women were stronger then the men. We had a lot of talented women audition for the lead but in my mind only one girl was a talented actress and was perfect for the role. There was only one guy who was a talented actor and was perfect for the comedic role of the best friend. There was only one actor who was talented enough for the lead but I do have some reservations about whether he was right for the role. Since we are unsure about casting the lead we are having another weekend of auditions, mainly for the male lead.
