Paying to Be in a Film or Video - Are You Kidding ?????
Our office phone and E. mail has been ringing
“off the hook” all ages being invited to be in Films-
YouTube - Webisodes - etc - but you have to pay
a fee to be in these films - usually shot in one or
two days - are you kidding ??????
Carollyn has been an actress since the age of 11-
and has paid for workshops & showcases for years to learn how to
audition & studied with Hollywood’s great coaches. Actors &
Models pay for Headshots & Modeling Photos -
Why would you pay to be in a film?
there are numerous auditions here in the Central Valley
audition to land a role in the Central Valley or Hollywood
- don’t pay to be in a film - what are you thinking.
You do not pay to get an Hollywood Agent - you audition
for them.
The Central Valley has become so High Profile
with Filming - Minors - age 2 weeks old until you
are 18 - must have an Entertainment work permit
It’s a State Law folks. The Production companies
can be fined - shut down - and you as a parent
can be in Lots of Trouble - Lots of our Minors
Work in Hollywood - and those are the moms
and dads calling our office. Outraged.
Films - Commercials - Videos - Print ( Modeling)
Student Films - Short Films - minors have to
have a current Entertainment Work Permit.
Carollyn cast all the Minors on Indiana Jones
locally - Click - Meteor ( NBC ) Mini Series
We had a “set teacher”
“Finding Hope Now” this summer…Carollyn
was the Principal Casting Director and cast
about 80 percent of the background extras
with numerous minors - there was a Set
Teacher - on set every day we had minors
shoot.
We finally have a set teacher here in the
Central Valley - call our office and we
will give you her name and number.
Minors go to school on the set - even on the
weekend or summers - you must have a teacher
on the set for all minors.
Make sure your Acting Worshops - Commercials-
Modeling - is with people who have worked in
the Hollywood Film Industry for years - and have
credits - Carollyn was an Agent in Hollywood
for 15 years and has been a Casting Director
