>>3235263To be honest, actors aren't hard to find these days, everyone knows a friend or a friend of a friend who's trying to get into performative arts and would certainly love to star in a nonprofit film either for getting the experience, building a portfolio or even just doing collaborative art for art's sake. Ask around, get in contact with Facebook groups, maybe try out some college clubs, it really isn't too much of a struggle if you just know the right people. Bonus points if they actually enjoy whatever concept you have for your project and become as enthusiastic about getting it done as you are, in the end that sort of is what ties people together in a nonprofit artistic work.
I would be more worried about the "ideas" part, are you undergoing some form of writer's block?
