Starting a new film today, and I'm at stage one of production: casting. I placed a casting notice this morning, and I have already sent the script out to 4 interested actresses. The film contains nudity, which they're all aware of, and once they've read the script I'll see who's still interested.
(A quick note - writing the script and plotting shooting/lighting is considered pre-production for me. That I did last week).
Stage two will begin when actresses start recording their self tape auditions. I'll keep you all apprised.
