in a nutshell

3 Casting Directors. 3 countries. 3 Days of 6-8hrs training. 4 Nights in Cannes. Optional: 1 Party. 1 Festival. Every day you'll work with another CD on your live auditioning and self taping skills. Designed for professional actors inclined towards the international market, this class clarifies differences between the countries & genres and you´ll get feedback on your individual work: the technical aspects as well as the artistic delivery of dramaturgy, offers, decisions, characters. Despite it´s NO guarantee for jobs, the Casting Circle is known for its multiple learning, growing & networking benefits. PREP: You´ll receive scenes/monologues to prepare (7 days prior to the Circle). For the self taping class you'll upload your scene beforehand. Hence we kindly ask you to register at www.filmmakers.eu and create a full profile (basic entry is free of charge!).

Application & Policies

APPLICATION Please understand it will take us a few days to confirm your application. We need to check if this event suits your profile, education and experience. Also we try to have a fair balance of languages, cultural backgrounds, gender etc. in our groups, so IF your application would get declined, it would have nothing to do with your value of talent or as a person. It is simply our goal to give all countries, cultures, languages and gender an equal chance. We will get back to you shortly. Thank you for your understanding. WHAT´s NEXT? Once you get accepted, you will be sent a link to do a prepayment / full payment. CANCELLATION POLICY OPTION 1) We have to cancel If the workshop production needs to be cancelled due to “force majeure” / higher acts of nature, it will be postponed to another date. Same teachers (if available, otherwise we will provide teachers of the same "level" and countries), same or similar place, same amount of days. OPTION 2) You have to cancel If YOU need to cancel for any other reason (jobs, grandmothers birthday etc), you will get a voucher of the event minus the application fee (basically we keep the application fee for our administrative work & losses). MONEY BACK? We generally do not have a money back policy but you will receive a voucher for the amount you had paid. The I.AM vouchers you can activate at any time for other workshops (not Casting Circles) so that you don't lose your money. (Casting Circles has its own application process. Once accepted, you may also use the money with a Casting Circle; On the other hand, a voucher gives you not the right to be accepted at a Casting Circle) You can chose any other event (Casting Circles if you are accepted) for it if your application got accepted for it. If you do not get accepted, you will get a full refund. CANCELLING YOUR ACCOMMODATION If the class comes in package with the accommodation, you might lose the accommodation expenses if we cannot find anyone else taking it. We will do our best but cannot guarantee your money back as this is a third party (hotel/finca...) we had to reserved for you.
