The casting director emailed me on this one looking for three young actors for a Capilano College “Final Project” film. What that means is that the students making this film have three years of training and experience, and have already made several shorter films. “Final Project” films usually have a higher budget and better production values than ordinary student films. I hope one of you gets it! -Michael Bean, Head Coach, Biz Studio

This should be an interesting clip for somebody’s reel, and an opportunity to work with special effects “green screen,” which is increasingly common in professional productions. -Michael Bean, Head Coach, Biz Studio
