With a fledgling motion picture industry spreading its wings in Lafayette and across Louisiana, keeping up with productions requires more than word of mouth. A new application for Android levels the playing field for would-be actors, production workers, technicians, caterers and others who want to earn some bread in the movies. Casting Call, developed by Lafayette-based 3rd Dimension Media, keeps tabs on movies that are starting production throughout the state and provides info on who to contact to get in on the action.
