First casting for pornocracy

The initial casting session for our comedy webisode pornocracy, taking place at Shetland Studios in Midtown New York.

Sometimes a misspelling can do more for your project than you can ever imagine.

Close your eyes and hope for the best.

Lynsey eyeing up the beverages, most likely wishing there was some kind of liquor in one of them.

Being a P.A. ain't glamourous but there's a quiet dignity to it.

Only a few minutes left in the casting session and Nicole is happy with its outcome. Lynsey concurs.
