International Casting Directors Network Index
International Casting Directors Network Index 01 Welcome 02 About the ICDN 04 Index of Profiles 06 Profiles of Casting Directors 76 About European Film Promotion 78 Imprint 79 ICDN Membership Application form Gut instinct and hours of research “A great film can feel a lot like a fantastic dinner party. Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

Has Fandango.Com Fixed
13.2.2021 Has Fandango.com fixed the ‘bug’ in its rating system? Has Fandango.com fixed the ‘bug’ in its rating system? Uni Lee 2/12/2021 In 2015, an investigation by a data jounralist named Walt Hicky from FiveThirtyEight (https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/fandango-movies-ratings/) revealved that the movie ratings on Fandango is significantly more left-skewed than those of the competitors. After the report was released, Fandango.com announced that it was caused by a bug in the system and that they will fix it shortly. Have they fixed the bug? If they have not, we can assume that the left-skewedness of movie ratings was intentional. To answer the research question, we will compare Fandango.com’s movie ratings in 2015 to those in 2016 to determine if there has been any change. Data Walt Hicky has made the data available on Github (https://github.com/fivethirtyeight/data/tree/master/fandango). The 2016 data has also been made available on Github (https://github.com/mircealex/Movie_ratings_2016_17) thanks to the Dataquest team. # Read in data from the repositories f_2015_raw <- read.csv("data/12_fandango/fandango_score_comparison.csv", sep=";") f_2016_raw <- read.csv("data/12_fandango/movie_ratings_16_17.csv", sep=";") # Select relevant variables f_2015 <- f_2015_raw %>% select(FILM, starts_with("Fandango")) f_2016 <- f_2016_raw %>% select(movie, year, fandango) head(f_2015) ## FILM Fandango_Stars Fandango_Ratingvalue ## 1 Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) 5.0 4.5 ## 2 Cinderella (2015) 5.0 4.5 ## 3 Ant-Man (2015) 5.0 4.5 ## 4 Do You Believe?
