Kyle Mecca on being a Local Casting Director and Making a Feature Film Right out of College

On this first episode of the podcast, I sat down with Kyle Mecca,
who is a local casting director and non- union AD in Buffalo, NY.
He also wrote and directed his own feature film "Dwelling" right
after college. In this episode, Kyle shares how he began feeling
depressed and confused right after he graduated college due to the
uncertainty of finding work in the film industry. In spite of that,
he began creating short films with other local filmmakers and
decided to write a script for his own full-length film. Throughout
the episode, we discuss how Kyle raised over 40k for his film
"Dwelling" and how he got it distributed and sold into Walmart
stores across the Country. He also shares how he became a local
director, what their role and responsibilities are and what the
standard SAG rate is for actors. If you want to check out his film
