CAST YOURSELF
A 6-month film cohort where you’ll create your own showcase short film starring YOU, then learn how to leverage it to create more opportunities as an actor.
Inside the program you will
1
CREATE.
Embody the role you want to play. Develop a showcase short film around You and the kind of work you actually want people to see you perform.
2
SHOWCASE.
Give people proof of what you can do. Walk away with a finished film that shows reps, casting directors, directors, producers, and other industry pros what you’re capable of.
3
LEVERAGE.
Turn your film into career momentum. Learn how to use your film to start conversations, build relationships, strengthen your marketing, and create more opportunities for yourself as an actor.
Because the goal isn’t just to make a film. It’s to build career momentum.
Cast Yourself is for you if…
✨ There’s a role you KNOW you could play, but no one is giving you the chance to play it.
✨ Your current footage doesn’t show everything you’re capable of.
✨ You’ve thought about creating your own work, but the process of actually making a film feels overwhelming.
✨ You want more control over your career without giving up on auditions, reps, or getting cast in other people’s projects.
✨ You’re ready to stop making someone else’s “yes” the only way you create momentum.
From dream role to career momentum
01. DEVELOP - Get clear on your dream role, workshop your idea, and write a compelling short film with YOU as the lead.
02. PREP - Plan your production, from cast and crew to locations, budget, fundraising, and everything you need to get your film made.
03. SHOOT - Bring your story to life and get your film in the can!
04. FINISH - Navigate editing, sound, and post-production while making sure the finished film showcases your acting AND tells a great story.
05. LEVERAGE - Get your work in front of the right people through festivals, social media, your reel, reps, casting directors, directors, producers, and more.
Because finishing the film isn’t the finish line. Using it to create more acting opportunities is.
