However, it makes a superior impression on actors (as I have found out in the past) who usually don't get even a rejection letter in the first place. Gives the company a good reputation, too.

Also, I have contacted people I met on networking parties and offered them parts but this has only yielded one single reply out of approximately twenty approaches.

I know I'm new to this place, but if you need any assistance with the music I would be glad to help. I've got no real experience with film audio but loads with general music, of pretty much any genre.

Just in case you need some free assistance [img]smile.gif[/img]

I might be able to help you during post production; effects, music, editing, sound effects. The geographical distance might be a problem though [img]confused.gif[/img]

Check out some of my experiments to see what I'm in to.

So the actors can meet each other as well as the crew they haven't met yet.
