Welcome to AUSUS Magazine. AUSUS stands for
AUS(Australia) and US (United States of America). The magazine was
formed in January 2004 to give voice to professionals working in the
entertainment industry between Australia and America. Interviewees
include people working both in front of the camera ( the actors), and
also those working behind the scenes, such as directors, casting
directors, producers, cinematographers, independent filmmakers,etc. The magazine focuses on those connected to either country but in
the future will expand to include professionals from other countries as
well. It is my hope that people accessing the site will do so not only
to have information to use to promote their own careers, but also to
learn more about people working in the various other more
‘unheralded’ positions in the industry as well. Above all, I hope
you enjoy the terrific content and information the magazine has to offer
and please feel free to contact me with any comments or suggestions.
Sincerely Yours
Michael Preston
President

CASTING
DOWN UNDER
Australian casting director, Ann Robinson, shares her
thoughts…
To an
actor, a casting director is the link between them and their
next job. Generally, the agent will call the actor, email the
script and instruct them to be at such and such an office to
audition for such and such a part. To a director or producer,
the casting director is the person they have hired to provide
them with a number of actors for each part. So it should be just
a matter of the casting director calling up the agents and
asking to see x, y and z actors. Right? Well not always. (more) |
