Hello San Diego Filmmakers!!
Come out and experience another great SD Filmakers event with our special guest Actor/Producer/Director/Acting Coach Billy Cowart. Billy will discuss the specifics of casting and how to have the greatest impact on your audience without having to work harder at it. Understanding marketing, essence and archetype in casting goes a long way to putting the perfect cast together.
