Finding the perfect cast for your movie can be a hard task. You want to make sure that the actors understand their character, will create a lot of buzz about the movie, and can film in the time you have set aside to film the movie. Right now at my work, we are looking to finalize our cast for The Mystery of Casa Matusita. Yesterday, the CEO and two other producers at PHE went to Beverly Hills to talk casting for the movie. Being a growing company, I wasn't expecting huge names to be associated with the film. Names I recognized, though, yes. The three of them were gone for almost three hours. The CEO came back and started name dropping some really huge celebrity names that would grab the attention of anyone. I was excited to hear the news that things were moving along properly. I wish I could go on set with them when they start filming soon! Unfortunately, my time here at the company doesn't last as long as I would like, and I will have to head back to Athens to finish up my last year of college. For this movie originally, my boss was trying to handle casting on his own through all of the awesome connections he has in Hollywood. I'm jealous of who all he knows and the power he has on the phone negotiating things for the company. But when they went to Beverly Hills for this meeting, they hired a casting director to take some stress out of the office since we have an abundance of awesome projects in the making. But there's another casting director out there looking for a very important role as well. You know that new Harry Potter spinoff movie, Fantastic Beasts? Yeah, I got news that they're having an open casting call for a role in the film for a young girl. Too bad I'm 10 years above the age requirement. Casting directors have a huge job in the industry. They have to know when the perfect actor or actress comes along to fit a role. I hope that the casting director we hired at PHE helps us get the perfect actors for our movie. I also hope that the casting director for Fantastic Beasts find the appropriate young girl for the movie. The Harry Potter fans are depending on them!
