Because the film is a documentary, "casting" for this type of film is a little different to casting for fiction films, however the methods are very similar.
For a documentary you have to find a person who fits into the topic you are looking at, so that the documentary is truthful and real life. This makes the process of finding someone a little easier, because for this film, the only requirement for the subject is that they are vegetarian- we don't really have any age/ appearance/ gender specific requirements.
However, it also can make it a little trickier, because as it is looking at someones real life and their lifestyle they might be reluctant to talk about it in detail.
Resources used
The Director/ Creator of the idea was quick of the mark, and having established the idea, took to social media to spread the word of the documentary and look for ideas, posting ads on gumtree and twitter.
We also designed a leaflet that we planned on putting up on some vegetarian restaurants, and composed a letter to MLA Jim Wells about the possibility of being involved in our film.
