Hi I am part of a small group who have embarked on making an independent low budget film. All involved are working for free including actors.

While we have had some success auditioning actors so far we have mainly been only able to cast female roles.

We advertised in the local press and on the Starnow website and while we have had a lot of interest mainly from London, although we made it clear we are based in Hampshire guys don't seem to want to travel to audition.

Having used up the obvious sources of advertising, I was hoping for advice on contacting actors in the area. Have tried to contact local theatrical groups but the messages don't seem to filter down to the actual actors. We know this as we have been contacted via adverts in local press by members of said groups who had no knowledge of our production.

Any advice help will be greatly appreciated.:
