Meeting notes - Casting Directors

Kirsty McGregor and Nicky Barrett.

Kirsty McGregor

• Keen to help. No queries re. casting budget but would help “up to a
  point”. Implied we would have to be flexible around what days casting
  tests were, e.g. weekends.


• Doesn’t “get” sci-fi. Less input and suggestions about Blake
  in relation to character


• Convenient location for testing to Luke and myself (Stanmore)


• Helps out “a lot” of short films


• Would be happy to do initial cull if required


• Specifically focuses on high turnover ad work so that there is space to
  support short films
  
  

Nicky Barrett

• Happy to help but not able to commit to much besides advice and hosting
  tests, very busy at moment


• Could send out brief to contact agents, then we could come in and do initial
  cull


• Luke would have to contact schools


• Testing could be done out of their space


• Made lots of helpful suggestions re. character and schools to check out

• Suggested trying Extras agencies as well as Actors agencies
