Synopsis

After reviewing the more than 70 hours of casting tapes, from 350 individual auditions, Hershey and producer Lewis Wheeler were inspired to shape this rich material into a film of its own, and CASTING ABOUT was born. Hershey worked for two years with editor Marc Grossman to distill the final 86-minute film.

The film vividly conveys the heart and soul that drives an actress to put herself on the line in an audition. Rather than following a strict narrative or plot, the film invites the viewer into the casting room, offering a unique perspective on the dynamic between actor and filmmaker. From the point of view of a filmmaker, the viewer witnesses interviews with actresses, performances of monologues, and scene work from the fiction film - all of which are intertwined to create an impressionistic collage of the casting experience.

CASTING ABOUT studies the casting process while celebrating the craft of acting and these creative women. The film explores the boundaries between fiction and reality --- when is someone 'acting' -- or just being herself? The fine line between voyeurism and intimacy is examined, as the viewer gets to know these women and yet is a spectator, watching from the safety of the camera's privileged perspective into this world.
