Thanks to everyone who has expressed their support. There is still no decision regarding the status of the PA Film Tax Incentives.
This process will continue until the entire State budget is settled - hopefully by the end of June.
So, please continue to spread the word, and contact your state legislators regarding this issue.

CASTING TECHNOLOGY NEWS
|
We have been researching various new technologies for use in casting.
We are now using the "Casting Frontier" system for ALL of our commercial and industrial auditions (union and non-union).
This system has been in use around the country for a while, most of the commercial casting directors in LA use it, in New York, Beth Melsky and Donna deSeta, Donna Belajac in Pittsburgh + others.
This is a FREE SERVICE to the actor. It is designed to streamline the casting process, and what/how the director sees the auditions.
EVERY ACTOR MUST be on the SYSTEM before he/she attends an audition. NO EXCEPTIONS!
It's easy:
1. Go to: www.castingfrontier.com
2. select "new profile" on left hand side
3. select Philadelphia
4. select basic profile -FREE
5. complete profile and click SAVE (and remember your user name and password so you can make changes)
6. print out page with your ID number and BAR CODE (yes, BAR CODE!- welcome to the new millenium!)
7. bring your ID number and BAR CODE with you to your audition.
This ID number will used at ANY affiliated casting facility around the country where you might audition . (Keep it in your wallet- some actors get it laminated)
One of the many advantages is that the "size card" is already completed online with your profile- so the actor NEVER fills out a size card again! AND the actor can always keep the profile updated with any changes (new hair color, weight change, etc) We will take a digital photo here at the studio on the day of the audition. Again, this is FREE TO THE ACTOR!
EVERYONE AUDITIONING MUST HAVE AN ID NUMBER AND BAR CODE. |
