In House Media Film Partners [IMDb] has recently completed their first feature film, The Mooring. The company made the decision to cast students from the workshops and classes at Hallie Todd Studios in major roles. While several of our students were well-established in the business, others hadn't yet gotten a "break."

The film's executive producer and director, Glenn Withrow (co-founder of Hallie Todd Studios) was dedicated to casting the film from the actors he had worked with in classes, as he was familiar with their acting ability and range, and they were familiar with his style of direction. As producers, we considered all of the students, what kinds of roles we’d like to see them play, and who was ready to take on the challenge. Hallie Todd Studios has a very strong talent base, not only in Los Angeles, but also around the country, so it took time to find the right mix of actors.

The students at Hallie Todd Studios have put in so much time and hard work into preparing themselves for a professional career. It is amazing to be able to give some of them a shot at starring in their first feature film and to work with them on the set. They are all tremendous in the film, and not only was it an incredible education for them, but they each now have their first feature-lead under their belts.

In House Media Film Partners is looking forward to continuing this model, and is strongly committed to casting their upcoming films primarily from the Hallie Todd Studios student base. If you wish to be considered, enrollment in class or private coaching is not required, but is strongly recommended.
