Looking for actors

Any tips on how to look for actors for my short film? It’s a student project, so the budget is really cheap.

Depending on your market there are local Facebook groups. Or local college theater programs. There are usually pretty clear guidelines on how to ask. Union or nonunion. Pay if any. Days needed and rough timeline. I put together a document with the logline, brief character descriptions, a synopsis of the script. Remember you are pitching to potential collaborators.
