You can only rely on your personal connections for so long. Eventually you’re going to have to face the nervous energy and look for something different.
You never know where your going to find someone who’s going to be able to share their stories.

Call people, don’t send emails, have your line/story. Don’t be afraid to ask them if they can point you in the right direction, give you other places to go.

Ask your crew how long they need, then add an hour, don’t forget to include coffee

Read your forms and make any edits necessary before you hand them out.
