Directions Unit: Correspondence with Actors

I have started to get applications for the film and so have come up with a more in-depth response to their applications if they are shortlisted.

The basic criteria i am looking for from applicants initially is a keen interest in the project, some experience and having an understanding of silent films.

Here is my email to one of the actors:

I wanted to give the actors an opportunity to watch some of the silent films as in the auditions i will be asking them questions about the genre and style and their familiarity with them so by recommending films they will already know what sort of character work will be involved and can prepare accordingly

Stay safe,

Helen
