The ASU Actor Database was designed to give ASU filmmakers the opportunity to cast their films from both the ASU student community and the community-at-large, helping to create greater films with more diverse casts, while giving actors an opportunity to grow their own craft in a variety of filmmaking projects.
By submitting to the ASU Actor Database, you agree to the following:
- Actors will not charge students for services, but will receive copy, credit and meals. Negotiating gas reimbursement is an acceptable request. If the actor is a member of SAG, students are required to have contracted with the union and have all proper agreements in place before shooting commences – including payment if that is part of the signed contract
- Understanding that these are STUDENTS making these films, with a wide diversity of experience in knowledge. An enormous amount of patience is required in a learning environment, especially when an experienced actor is working with a student filmmaker.
- Actors may ONLY work a maximum of TEN HOURS (subtracting meals) on-set and must be fed with craft services and at least one meal for every six hours worked. Actors YOUNGER THAN 18 can work a maximum of SIX HOURS a day (subtracting meals).
- Actors will have access to restroom facilities.
- Actors will have a minimum of TWELVE HOUR TURNAROUND in-between multiple filming dates.
- Students will email you offers – or requests for auditions for higher-profile senior "Capstone" film. They will also send you a copy of the script. Even if the script isn’t to your liking, please reply within FORTY-EIGHT HOURS and tell them that you’re unable to do the film so they can move on to another potential casting opportunity
- If you accept a role, filmmakers will only call you if you provide them your phone number.
- At any time, you can have your listing removed from the database by emailing Professor Chris LaMont at clamont@asu.edu.
- ASU is not responsible for any issues on-set or off-set regarding its students and an actor’s participation in any student film project is entirely voluntary.
To upload your materials to the ASU Actor Database, you will need to have a single photo of yourself in JPEG, PNG or GIF format. You also will need to have at least one Video Clip on YouTube – either a filmed monologue with good sound and picture OR your demo reel.
