Round Tables & Meet the Experts

With this guided and targeted networking activity, MIA|Film intends to offer a tool not only for a pure business experience, but also a space for professional growth, a mix between a consulting corner and a collective mentorship moment, where participants can discuss among peers, with the guidance of a “mentor-moderator” on specific topics.

Upon registration only, subject to seats availability.

CASTING: Go Ahead, Ask Me Anything! – Session #1
Karin Dix hosts an open conversation with Cassandra Han

There’s really no such thing as a stupid question… and at this intimate roundtable, an American/European casting director will field them all. What attracts a name actor to a given project – and what defines a “bankable” actor anyway? Do I have to sign a GR1 with SAG/AFTRA? What does a CD bring to the table, and how do I get the most out of having hired one? The discussion will be geared towards giving producers real-world solutions to current challenges, and demystifying the nuts and bolts of the casting process for world sales and other interested parties. Anonymous questions welcome.

Host: Karin Dix (Project Director of Shooting Stars, European Film Promotion)
Expert: Cassandra Han (Casting Director)
