      In college I enjoyed scripting, filming, and editing 3 short films with my Canon XHA1. I do the occasional wedding video with my Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera (1080p).

      However, I really enjoy scripting/shooting movies, However, since I do not have my college friends around, it is much harder to film movies.

      I was just wondering how I can find actors (they don’t have to be amazing or even very good). I just love crafting stories and filming like some people enjoy writing short stories.

      Try local or nearby community theatre; theatre department in local Community College. Put up posters in local library, coffee shops, etc. See if your local newspaper or community TV station will run a story or PSA about your activities.
