"My 1st AC bailed last minute.....100/day, meals + transportation provided."
Perhaps your 1st AC bailed because you're paying them an ILLEGAL rate!!! California State Minimum Wage is $112/12. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!! and it continues to go up $16/hr after that, meaning $125 is less than minimum after 13 hrs, etc.
Producers: come back when you've actually got the budget to make you project (and that means paying ALL of your crew at least minimum wage)
Crew: I know it's rough out there. I know it's been slow and we all need to pay our bills. But PLEASE - do us all a favor. JUST SAY NO! Stand up for yourselves and for all of us. If a production offers you anything less than minimum wage PLEASE tell them that it's not legal and demand that they pay you a legal rate. Together, maybe, just maybe we can make a difference!

Compensation: ALWAYS PAY! $112/12 +

RE: Casting Director Needed
Date: 2012-02-23, 11:50PM PST
Where do I begin? First, it is illegal to state an age requirement for this job. See eeoc.gov. Second, do you really think you will find an experienced casting director who is in his/her early to mid 20s, with a portfolio who will work for free? Why limit yourselves? Why not also require that they be willing to cook and walk your dogs? Shame on you for trying to take advantage. You state "If it goes well we may continue to work together." If you aren't paying, it already isn't going well. Again, shame on you. Include top 3 bands/musicians, films, tv shows, and comic books???? What??? And this helps you get the talent you need...how? I should forward your post to the CSA. Google it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Independent production team looking for a Casting Director for a dramatic scripted feature. Someone in their early to mid twenties.
After production credit and copy will be given.
In regard to PAY: Do you think we would be posting this to Craigslist if there were pay?
We're looking for someone who wants something fun to do to help a group of filmmakers out. If it goes well we may continue working together.
Our team is currently in development on two other projects, so a basic non-disclosure (confidentiality) agreements will be required.
Reply with contact information and a link to your portfolio OR send us links to projects you've worked on. We know not everyone has a portfolio.
Also include, top 3 bands/musicians, films, tv shows, and comic books.
Personal taste will need to be at least kind of in line for this to work.
IF YOU ARE NOT A CASTING DIRECTOR do not respond. If we need other skill sets we'll post for those separately.

SEND US YOUR RATE!
Date: 2012-02-14, 1:54PM PST
Do not send estimates to people without first working out the scope and schedule of a project! Most people want very high end work and optimistic estimates devalue the whole creative community!
Location: Crank-ville
Compensation: Your flat rate for my endless schedule!
