Online Casting Call ENTRY INFO by Tanah Licin Sdn Bhd
Tanah Licin, is holding an online casting call for their upcoming motion picture, Hanyut, based on Joseph Conrad's first novel.
How The Voting System Works?
.....................................................................................................................................................................
We will be inviting unknown actresses or known actresses to post their casting videos through youtube.com so that our Findingnina.com audience can vote on their favorite actresses
Actresses who have uploaded their casting videos may vote for other actresses but not for themselves. The amount of voting per video is unlimited (no restrictions). If the voter wishes to make a comment on the score they have given a video – the comments must not offend or antagonize other voters or the potential actresses.
The first round of the casting call will stay open until September 2009. From the most voted actresses we will then make a shortlist of between 20 – 40 actresses. A panel of judges will be assembled to give feedback on this shortlist, and from there we will have our top 20 potential actresses. By November 2009 we will be asking the findingnina.com audience to vote on the final 20 choices so we can then cast NINA. If the schedule for the shortlist changes due to greater demand, we will post a notice up on the website.
