Casting
For the casting lucy took the character bios she wrote when generating the script and shortened them to a brief description to put on several casting websites.
I then sent these to various websites , emailed drama school etc and got several responses back.
i then emailed back the applicants with a copy of the script and dates the auditions would be held on, i then organised the applicants into different time slots and dates.
we decided to host the auditions on skype and via video application as most applicants did not live near by so it made it both easier for us and them.
When casting we asked them to read 2 sections of the script they liked the best and explain why they chose those sections, this showed they understood the story and characters.
here is our cast
Since then i have been in constant contact with them asking them question, arranging rehearsals sorting out costume.
Our main problem when casting was trying to find a waitress as no one wanted to play a small role.
We had one girl who was up for the part, how ever the day before filming dropped out for a paid role. There for we had to use molly my housemate as a last minitue resort. This is not a problem though as the waitress is mainly a small background character.
