Ep4: Cast This Movie Make This Movie: A Filmmaking Series

Casting is among the most important filmmaking processes, and here the window opens to its nuances. Counterintelligence's rockstar casting director Rachel Meyer takes Chris through what it took to cast this movie, and other films she's worked on. She and Chris take us from how they were put in touch initially, through her review of the script, up to audition days and locking in the film's pitch-perfect cast!
 
The second half of the episode reveals the specific workflow Rachel uses to cast movies. She covers organization, outreach techniques, and overall efficiency practices, from working with agencies to reaching out through social media. This deep-dive presents how important and difficult a casting director's work is, and how micro-budget filmmakers and producers can replicate this work if they're strapped for cash.
