Hi All,

I recently won a short-film screenplay contest called Get It Made, where they will be making my screenplay, Language Of Love, into a movie! As you can imagine, I am thrilled beyond belief. Along with winning, I’m being asked to come to the production set to be their script consultant during the shoot. I have already consulted long distance on location choices and they are asking me to help with the casting too. They enjoyed my short so much that they requested to read one of my features! So I recommend to any writer, first, keeping writing, and second, I know it can be hard to consistently put yourself out there, but it's the only way if you want your words to ever be shown on film. Persistence and perseverance are key. Don't give up. Enter contests. Hone your elevator pitches. Learn from any feedback you receive, especially the rejections. But most of all, be confident in yourself and believe in your work.

Regards,

Jonathan

Hi I love to get recommendations, so does anyone have any recommendations for a male, Indian actor, (late 30s or?) 40s, attractve to play a romantic lead in a feature? Thanks!

Located in Northern New Jersey - I've written a six-page movie short. It's a relatively low-budget comedy film with a positive twist. Looking for a casting director,  a director, DP, and an experienced make-up artist. Have most parts casted and two potential locations established. This is my first time out of the gate. Excited about this project.

Just joined through my my friend Kathryn Leeman! Woop woop! What a cool site! Anyhoo, I'm looking for an agent here in Los Angeles so if any of you agents want to check out my page and look at my Demo Reel, feel freeeeeee! And of course any one else (casting directors, directors, producers, etc) who might want to audition me or use me in their project. Hope everyone is having a great day! :D

Hilarious right? Just introducing myself. Great actor who loves playing comedy as well as creepy and evil. And, alas, I need an agent. So any agents, casting directors, producers, and directors that might find me intriguing, let me know! I'm currently studying with the mega-talented Lindsay Wagner....woop woop! Hope you're all having a great weekend! OSCARS!!!!! :)

Meg Gable (Megan Gabel) American actress/model, born in Indiana has been entertaining friends, family and strangers with her humor, charm and quick wit from a very early age. Attended various universities and has a degree in Recording Engineering and Audio Production. She came to Los Angeles to pursue studio work in audio production, which led her to working in films behind the camera. Her behind work included doing various jobs ranging from production PA, art department PA, AD, casting director, script supervisor and co-writer. She fell into working in front of the camera when the director (Riley Wood) of her first PA job ( Good Guys Finish Last 2009) asked if she would be comfortable saying a couple of lines in the film, which were later cut on the editing floor. From that, the acting passion was again ignited and modeling for various print and skincare lines started. Ms. Gable, has appeared/stared in several films some of which include: Memoir of a Perfect Woman (2014) The Happening (2014) T + E (2013) Choices (2012) Hunting for Women (2012) Cookie Dough (2011) First Dog (2010) Ben & Jake's Next Big Deal (2010) I`je (2010) Bad Dinner (2010) Lost (2009) Good Guys Finish Last (2009) Ms. Gable's current film project "321 Days" was written and being directed by Ms. Kathy Payton, co-founder of Midnightchair Productions and is slated to start filming in early May 2014.

since moving from boston and all the opportunities out there and from my acting at boston casting out to nowhere ashtabula ohio its too hard to get back into the acting/modeling thing there is nobody out here to discover me like i was discovered in boston so now my headshots are way out of date and i cant seem to find anyone who is a legit photographer like maura wayman i cant seem to find a legit agent or actual productions, and its even harder because im 15 and everybody is looking for 18 and up actors mainly because of flying me out to where they are and hiring a tutor for when i miss school, yes i was told it would be hard to get on the "silver screen" but wow this is just crazy, so help on the agent and photographer thing would help me greatly (and some credit would be given if i actually made it big lol)

I’m based in London & in my 60s and have found the last few months both exhilarating and frustrating. Having my work diary suddenly empty was awful. No income and I know I’m not the only one in that position. But when I realised how fortunate I was in so many ways I decided that this was an opportunity to learn new skills and develop others.

Self taping is something that I have to accept. It’s not going away so I have embarked on self tape challenges, tweaked my filming and editing skills and met some great fellow professionals.

I miss live theatre so much and it will return but until then I am going to adapt and make sure that I’m ready when casting for ‘the role of a lifetime’ comes up.

I’m interested to find out if any others have had to adapt and, if so, how you’ve managed it.
