Defining positions and production routes.

I'm not quite ready to say i'm in Pre-Production as of yet. With still trying to decide whether or not to hire an experienced crew or hiring each member individually, I've come to the conclusion that a decision will have to be made on the 4th of May at the latest. At this moment in time, I still need to finish the last draft of the screenplay, break it down, work out schedules, finish storyboarding and so on. A great deal of work will take place in pre-production alone. I have decided to contact a casting agency instead of finding the talent myself. I figure it would be much better for the film; A union actor would even be sufficient if I might have to pay him.

I might find the help of a location manager with time on his or her hands. I hear Film London.com is also an excellent resource for location scouts in general. I might either swing by their library or give them a ring after i make the break down of the script. First things first however. Finish the final draft of the script!
