Casting Call

We had tried to find actors through facebook, getting in contact with local drama groups across Yorkshire and emailing different drama society’s/course. However we didn’t have much look, we had a number of people interested but they weren’t what we where looking for, we really wanted an older actor but the people who where interested where about 18 to 21. 

We then found a website called star now, were we where able to create a casting call, this was great as we where able to be really pacific about what we wanted, height, weight and acting background. We left this quite open as we didn’t want to limit the number of people who where interested. However the only thing we asked for was that where male and between the age of 35-50.

We didn’t hear anything for a couple of days until a guy called dean white got in contact. He had very little acting experience but uses to be in the RAF which was good to know as he would have been able to help out with props. The same day another actor got in touch called Jonathan. He had lots of acting experience and went to America to do an acting course. He has told that he used to suffer from panic attacks. Jonathan was really passionate about idea and seemed a little bit enthusiastic about the idea and as a group we felt we could learn a lot about agoraphobia. We then arranged to meet him the following Friday.
