Just a quick question. Has anyone put a casting up and had applicants for it and when you have messaged them heard nothing. Is it me or why bother applying if they arent going to reply.

It's because you are dealing with airheads.  I'm sure you're aware of my similar frustrations when I was on here last year.  I've now taken my photography to a different dimension and I'm now doing aerial photography.  Waiting for daft young ladies to reply to me took its toll, I wasted a lot of time and lost real work.  I wish I could name and shame the worst offender but I don't think she is on here now.

I have tried diversifying into other fields (sports, shows, bands etc) but all i seem to do is hit a brick wall. Its actually coming to the point where i am thinking is it worth it.
