Evaluation Planning/ Pre-production During the planning and pre-production stage of the project, everything was going all to plan, I managed to get all my locations sorted before I even wrote my job post on Mandy. I did this because I know how painful it can be to look for locations and to source them. However, I knew that with the location that I wanted to use as reliable as I've used it before. The thing I did struggle most with was trying to source actors. I used Mandy.com for the first time during unit and I found it easy to get the use of, however, I felt as if I struggled with doing the character profiles to try and attract actors toward my production.

I've known him for a few years now and he has been the star in a lot of my previous projects. I know he will come at the production and do the best he can, but he's not an actor. However, not being a...
