With no licensing and no bonding required for talent agencies, expect an influx of rip off ‘agents’ who will steer new comers and wannabes to ‘their’ photographers, ‘their’ demo reel or ‘slate’ producers, ‘their’ acting coaches or ‘schools’ etc. And don’t forget the ‘upfront fees’ that the scammers often charge.

Thanks to screenwriters Philip Daay and Chris Engen for attending the Austin Actors Conservatory presentation of the script for their series pilot, TWILIGHT NATION

TWILIGHT NATION by Philip Daay and Chris Engen, is a television series script. Set in the old west, William must choose how he will live his life and after life with the guidance of others.

I’ve been doing a lot of research over the past couple of months on faith-based film productions. As a Christian who is also a professional actor, I have a strong desire to participate in faith-based film productions. Over the years there have been many roadblocks to that end.

We are currently casting for our next Script to Screen production. Please review the following breakdowns for BOTH pilots. Actors for consideration YOU MUST BE A PAID-UP SAG/AFTRA MEMBER. Please submit your headshot and resume and the role(s) you are interested in to sheila.cooper@sag.org.

Join new media gurus Mike Prasad, Co-Founder and CEO of GirlGamer.com; Mark Friedlander, SAG National Director of New Media; and Will Marshall, SAG iActor online casting coordinator for a compelling look at the phenomenal growth in new media production and distribution.

What is the single most common mistake I see from the mostly low budget filmmakers who are posting casting notices online? The mistake that potentially costs producers the better actors they want and need to cast for their projects?

The list below is complied from the SAG list of POSSIBLE SAG signatory productions. POSSIBLE means that these productions have made contact with SAG but have not necessarily completed the signatory process. Offered for informational purposes. Use wisely. YMMV.
