Finding actors Will be a major challenge. For the first two films, which I intend to make cheaply and quickly, the principal criteria Will be the actors availability and willingness to take part for minimal financial compensation. They must also be comfortable acting to extremes as I have no interest in capturing ‘normal people’ or ‘real life’ and instead wish for my films to feel like entering another dimension. Ideally, I prefer working with older actors but I know this will greatly Impede the speed of the production, and instead I will cast my friends.
I would also like there to be consistency of the actors throughout the films as each film Will be a continuation of the narrative from the previous. As such, I need people who will commit and who are able to act well.
