60 Day Money-Back Guarantee | Questions? 310-746-3868
That’s the first question every distributor, investor, and buyer asks when you pitch your movie. And if your answer doesn’t include a recognizable name, your project just got harder to sell. That’s not opinion. That’s the game.
Casting name actors is one of the single most powerful tools you have as a producer. And the good news is—it’s a lot more possible than you think.
That’s why I created this course.
Instantly increase your film’s value in the eyes of investors and distributors
Attract audience attention and media buzz before you’ve shot a single frame
Open doors to funding and international sales with recognizable cast
"Aut dicta commodi nostrum quidem delectus molestiae ad et ex odit."
Six short, practical lessons—each designed to move you one clear step closer to distribution and funding:
Why You Need to Cast Names
Name actors aren’t just for show. Hiring a name cast makes your film instantly more fundable, distributable, and taken seriously. I’ll break down why “who’s in it?” is the question that matters most—and how landing a recognizable face can position you as a pro, even on your first film.
What Name Actors WantIt’s not always about the paycheck. Actors say yes to indie films for the right reasons. You’ll learn what makes them interested—and how to shape your project so it checks those boxes.
How to Reach Out to CelebsThis is the part that freaks most filmmakers out. “Who do I contact? What do I say? Won’t I look stupid?” Nope. I’ll show you how to approach reps the right way, what to include in your pitch, and how to get your message opened, read, and seriously considered—even if no one’s ever heard of you.
Working With Casting DirectorsYou don’t always need a casting director—but when you do, the right one can open doors fast. I’ll show you when it makes sense to bring one on board, what they actually do (versus what people think they do), and how to find one who can really help your film—not just cash a check.
Negotiating the Deal – Part 1This is where most indies blow it. You finally get a bite from talent… then you fumble the money talk. I’ll teach you how to structure your offer, what language to use, and how to talk numbers without scaring anyone off. You’ll look and sound like a pro—even on a budget.
Negotiating the Deal – Part 2Now we dig into the fine print. Agents. Deal memos. Perks. Timelines. What’s negotiable and what’s not. I’ll walk you through exactly how to navigate this process without getting taken advantage of—or tanking the relationship. This is the stuff you wish film school taught you.
How to Treat Celebrities On SetWanna work with name actors more than once? Then this part matters. I’ll show you how to lead your set like a pro, avoid common mistakes that turn talent off, and make sure your shoot is a win for everyone.
Additional Special TacticsThis is the good stuff I’ve picked up over two decades of closing deals. From creative credit swaps to package leverage plays, these are the advanced tactics that help you stand out and close when everyone else gets ignored. Think of this section like your secret weapon.
Here’s what filmmakers have to say about Tom Malloy's courses:
"Tom’s willingness to share his experience so openly has definitely helped launch us on our way to producing our first feature film."
"Tom understands what it takes to close an investor and to even find them! He is an excellent teacher, and I highly recommend him."
"Getting the money is the most vital part of getting your film made. Without money, nothing can happen. Kudos to Tom Malloy."
"Aut dicta commodi nostrum quidem delectus molestiae ad et ex odit."
Let’s be real—there are more indie films being made today than ever before. The tools are accessible, the barriers are low… and the competition is fierce.
So how do you make your project stand out?
You attach recognizable talent.
It’s the one move that instantly boosts your film’s credibility, opens up real conversations with distributors, and signals to investors that you know what you’re doing.
Hi, I’m Tom Malloy. Over the past two decades, I’ve raised over $25 million, produced dozens of features, and repped films around the world.
And one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is this: Getting a name actor in your film doesn’t take luck. It takes a strategy.
That’s what this course gives you—the exact step-by-step method I’ve used to consistently cast talent that helps movies get funded, sold, and seen.
Whether this is your first film or your tenth, this training will show you how to play at a higher level—without needing a studio budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the most common questions filmmakers ask about this course:
Do I need a big budget to cast a name actor?
Nope. That’s kind of the whole point of this course. You’ll learn how to put together an offer that’s professional and compelling—without needing millions in the bank.
Is this for beginners or experienced filmmakers?
Both. If this is your first film, you’ll learn the right way to do things from the start. If you’ve made films before, this will help you avoid the casting mistakes most indie producers make.
How fast can I start using this?
Immediately. The course is designed to be practical and action-ready. You’ll know who to contact and how—within the first hour.
Will this help me if I already produced my movie?
Yes. You can still attach name talent during post-production—voiceover, narration, even pickups. Plus, this knowledge sets you up for smarter casting next time.
Does this course cover contracts and legal stuff?
We go into the key deal points, how to negotiate terms, and what to watch out for—but for contracts, always consult a lawyer (I’ll tell you when and why).
What if I have questions or need support after enrolling?
My team and I are here for you. You can call or text us directly at 310-746-3868. You’re never left alone or guessing.

Yes. You don’t need to live in Hollywood to cast Hollywood talent. Everything I teach works whether you’re in New York, Austin, or working from your kitchen table in Wisconsin.
Can I use this process for a short film or web series?
Yes. The fundamentals apply to all formats. If your project has a solid concept and a good role, the strategy works.
What if I don’t have a finished script yet?
That’s okay. You’ll learn how to position your project so you’re making smart casting decisions early—before you’ve locked everything in.
What if I already have a casting director?
Awesome. This will help you work with them more effectively—and know what’s actually happening behind the scenes when deals get made.
Will this guarantee I get a name actor?
Nope. Nothing is guaranteed in this business. But this will give you your best shot at making it happen—by doing the right things the right way.
Is there a money-back guarantee if I don’t like the course?
