Internet Casting Lists for Texas Films
by Dan Eggleston October 2000
As I get casting info for Texas feature films I will share it; both multi-million Hollywood films and micro-budget indies; both feature films and shorts. This is a way to allow film production companies, casting agencies, and independent producers connect with actors (and in come cases, crew). I am a middle school teacher and enjoy doing extra work in the summer. This list has helped many already. If you know of any casting sessions (yours or others) please e-mail me with all the pertinent info, including time, location, pay (if any), etc. and an e-mail and/or contact phone number. I hope that all info I pass on is reliable and plan to post only info that I trust.
