Star Wars casting director to give masterclass, audition new actors
Do you love movies? Do you tell anyone who’ll listen that you’re a better actor than most people in Hollywood, even though you’ve never acted in your life? Well, here is your chance to find out how actors are cast in movies and learn what it takes to get the big break you truly deserve. Sort of!
Nina Gold, the casting director of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Game of Thrones, will share her insights and audition new Chinese acting talent in December.
Nina has cast actors such as Eddie Redmayne, Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley in major films, and you could be next, but probably not.
The event will be hosted by The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) to encourage cross-cultural learning and creative collaboration between the UK and China
BAFTA-winning casting director Nina will conduct auditions, live and taped, with selected students from The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
The masterclass will be held at the Academy’s Drama Theatre, Wanchai campus on Thursday 15 December.
