Congratulations to Dale, Kent and Allesandro for their recent casting in a student film! Sassy sent 3 actors to audition, and all three received a part.
Further to that subject, I always encourage actors to audition for student films when they can and/or are able to. Though they almost always don’t offer any form of compensation, they can offer you quite a few benefits.
1. You can add them to your resume. Casting Directors will look at this as a form of good experience and if you’re just starting out, it’s the first item you can add to your film credits section!
2. You can work out a deal with the director and/or production on the film to utilize a portion of your performance for your demo reel. If you have a juicy part that really showcases your skills, this could be a great addition to your online casting website profiles.
3. They are a great learning tool. As mentioned previously, you may have managed to get a higher profile part and that will give you first-hand experience that you may not normally get while building your career as an actor.
4. It’s a great way to network. Those film students may go on to be successful professionals in the industry and your good impression and performance will always continue to benefit you.
Congrats you three!!
