Don't Listen To The Radio....

Have you ever been in a situation where you are driving and you suddenly hear this ad "Want to be in movies? Major casting agents from WB, MGM, etc, etc are going to be in town...etc, etc" First of all don't pay attention and change the channel!!!!! It is a SCAM! These so called "agencies" are there to pray on "dreamers" with glamour and putting stars in their eyes while blinding people and their parents. They will make you do these way overpriced classes and photoshoots, and who loses in the end is..... YOU! Obviously they always win. The best way to promote yourself in by doing Gureilla Marketing by submitting your headshots to projects and casting agencies. It is much cheaper and it is direct, but please do not get sucked in on these "hotel agencies" scams, you and your wallet will regret it in the end.

I too learnt it the hard way, but at least I learned some important things along the way that have helped me a bit. (NuStars, are they legit?)

People agreeing to work and not showing up.

I was on a project yesterday (Mall Cop) which was a nice experience and worked with nice people. What amazed some people is that there were a few no-shows, what I had said to them is don't be too surprised because this happens more than you think. When that happens that screws a lot of people up first the production because they are expecting their numbers for that day, and people that actually wanted to work that day. So if you can't make it on that project for any reason please call the casting director the day prior so they can fill in your spot. It's the best thing you can do in that situation to still be good with the casting directors and the production.

Keep your political views home..

I was working on E.O.D just recently and here we are in holding for a few hours as usual and here we have someone preaching about which canadate we should choose. Now we all know which one we want to choose and that is our personal opinion, but do not tell us who to vote for. At one point one person yelled from across the room and told this guy to "end it" because this is "not the place for that", I totally agree. Keep that outside, we are here to work and have fun and no one needs that.

SAG Strike close to NOT happening :)

I am hearing this morning that since AFTRA is getting things done with Hollywood, it looks as if SAG might follow suit and prevent a strike. If this happens all systems go for the roll of films to continue in MASS on schedule.
