Hollywood Casting and Film Announces Partnership with Natl Assoc of Latino Independent Producers
Los Angeles Studio Supports Latino Filmmaking Group with Free Casting Space and Resources.
- Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) December 17, 2014 - Hollywood Casting and Film (HCandF), the leading professional casting studio that provides aspiring and independent filmmakers with the critical tools needed to discover and audition top talent, today announced its partnership with the National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP). Recognizing the need to support the growing community of Latino filmmakers behind the camera, HCandF is committed to assisting NALIP content creators.
The partnership will allow NALIP filmmakers to take advantage of HCandF services including, state-of-the-art spacious studios, professional lighting, and a diverse database of actors. As part of the partnership, HCandF invites NALIP members to hold complimentary casting sessions in its studio and in return asks that filmmakers meet with four HCandF actors during a session. NALIP filmmakers are able to send, store, and access audition videos from casting sessions without providing individual actors with feedback. As an added benefit, NALIP actors are given a three-month trial of HCandF's services.
In addition to the ongoing partnership, HCandF and NALIP will co-host professional development events throughout the year that will feature workshops and roundtables by industry leaders. The first filmmaker's workshop will include presentations from Chuck Vinson, former director of Last Comic Standing, and independent film producer, Phil Leirness. The workshop will cover topics ranging from technical filmmaking and filmmaker funding to screenwriting and concept creation.
"It is the mission of Hollywood Casting and Film to support filmmakers of all backgrounds and skill levels," says Vinay Bhagat, co-founder of Hollywood Casting and Film. "We look forward to partnering with the National Association of Latino Independent Producers and supporting its large group of filmmakers by helping to connect them with top talent in the Los Angeles area."
NALIP is a national membership organization committed to promoting, advancing, and advocating for Latino content creators across media.
"Hollywood Casting and Film is helping content creators within the National Association of Latino Independent Producers to share their projects with a whole new database of actors," says Ben Lopez, project developer of National Association of Latino Independent Producers. "We are always searching for development and production tools to support our members. We are very eager to explore Hollywood Casting and Film's casting and production resources and hope that our members take full advantage of these new opportunities as they develop and cast their projects."
