It can be a huge benefit to hear the other side of the story. In this video, Ryan, areal casting director rants about the sometimes needless frustrations that can arise in an already potentially frustrating career.

“Very Small Business” is my first attempt on a short/rant at once. My real-life job is casting background (i.e. extras) on movies and there are some things that tick me off. By complaining about it, I hope that others who want to get their start in movies don’t do the same thing. Much.

    Is that Ryan from Jeff Olan, I’m guessing yes from the voice and thanks to Jeff Olan. Funny stuff, he’s on the wrong side of the camera!

    Jeff Olan’s company is great. I worked for them “Red Heat” and more and plan to return. I appreciate their integrity/ honesty.
