thoughts about actors

There are a number of problems which will limit the quality of my work. Firstly, finding enough competent actors is often difficult for student film makers like myself, to manage this obstacle I will be creating films with reasonably small casts. With incompetent actors, even a well crafted screen play/narrative can be reduced to a low quality amateurish production. If possible I will be able to incorporate students with previous acting experience into my projects. The idea of a small manageable, competent cast would appeal to any director. Writing scripts, integrating character development into screen play, and ensuring actors are achieving the right screen presence is very time consuming. With a reasonably small cast, the director is more free to use his/her time on other production elements such as lighting, audio, effects etc.
