Behind the Couch
(Casting in Hollywood)

"BEHIND THE COUCH" takes an unsparing and extremely revealing look behind the scenes of the casting process in Hollywood.

"90% of directing is casting" (John Huston). The perfect cast can be the key to the overall success of a film. In Hollywood, with more than 290,000 registered and non-registered actors, one of the most efficient casting systems in the world has evolved.

The head shot lands in the trash before the actor even gets a chance for the first audition. After countless nerve-wracking "call-back" rounds, only one of the many hopeful applicants is finally selected.
