Synopsis:

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."This is a big business. People are not going to risk an investment of 80 Million $ and cast someone who is not right for the part." sayst Donna Morong (Vice president of casting, Disney) and puts the legend casting couch straight.The film is an unsparing and revealing look behind the curtains of the casting process in Hollywood. In following casting director Zora DeHorter and other professionals, the film reveals its labyrinthine paths and secret language.The casting process is very tough: For every role to be cast, thousands of head shots are sent in. A wrong CV and the expensive head-shot will end up in the bin before even being called in for auditions. After several rounds of call-backs, just one of the countless hopefuls is finally cast.
