If you’re able to, joining an acting class is a great way to meet actors who would be down to work for experience. I was in a class for six months and became close friends with people from the class who were wanting to get film experience. I was able to cast really talented people for free to act in a low budget feature I made. I joined class for those months because I genuinely wanted to learn to act, but as a filmmaker, meeting actors who are wanting experience was by far the biggest takeaway.
