Great way to get a reel!

1)If you have any colleges near you that offer film as a major you can start by registering with their casting departments. Call and ask the school what procedures they follow for registering. Usually they keep files of actors. You will, however, most likely be asked to submit a headshot & resume. Some universities even bring actors in at the beginning of each semester to audition.

2)You can get a subcription to Backstage.com, search under student film in the area where you live and see if anything is listed. I usually see many student films listed there. Follow the instructions for submitting.

3)Check the actorsaccess.com site for listings, which is a free search. You will have to register in order to search.

I hope this helps. Best of luck!

you can look on google your states film commission because they usually have film festivals with students work
