Last night, I had a surreal dream where Colleen Dewhurst encouraged me to seize an audition opportunity. In the dream, I almost missed out because I didn't have my reading glasses, but she reminded me not to give up before even trying. Fast forward to today, and I received a contract in my email for...

This is incredible, Ashley Renee Smith! Another partnership for Stage 32. A big one!
It's definitely exciting, Maurice Vaughan!
Can anyone recommend an acting retreat, like a 3 to 7-day intensive? I'd like something designed for experienced actors looking for a tune-up.
I'm not personally aware of one, but I hope that someone from my network may be able to jump in and provide some suggestions.
Thanks, Ashley. I hope someone has some suggestions, too!
I don't know of any on the West Coast. There's some in New York and London.
Thanks, Suzanne!

UPDATE: Since my original post two more actresses have reached out expressing the same experience. I was also able to track down the profile photo the person used for the call, which actually matches with another filmmaker of a different name. I am unsure if this is something worth reaching out to t...

Suzanne, I love what you said about trusting your instincts. That is such an important and wise comment and a great rule to live by. If something is not feeling right to you, trust it.
Thanks Sallie Olson, appreciated!

I'm doing a lot of research into commercial talent agents. The next one on my list is Firestarter Entertainment. Folks, I took one look at the Woodland Hills tower where this agency is housed and immediately felt intimidated. I looked over the website, and my feelings of trepidation lessened. Then I...

I completely agree with Sam Sokolow! Agents tend to move around a bit over time, so it's most important to connect with the Agent, not the agency. If you can build a relationship with an agent that yo...

Sam Sokolow is so right that it's about the personal/professional relationship with the agent. Sure, getting an agent at a Big 3 will open a lot of doors, but if that agent doesn't have the hustle or...

We've been rallying for a Stunts Category at The Oscars by posting this banner (pictured) and others like it since 2017.

I support the addition of a Stunts Category for the Academy Awards. Stunts to me are no different than Special Effects. Except with people. So if there's award for Best Special Effects, than why not for Best Stunt Choreography?
I agree. They do amazing work.
