This is a big deal. SAG-AFTRA Members can save enough on one trip to pay for their base dues. Make sure you and your networks know about this. It was in the most recent newsletter.
Told my students to come back in a week with a finished short, and Juliet came back with this brilliant, twisted showpiece that helped her get repped and meetings that led to her first network show booking. Check it out. She's an actor, writer, singer, and one of the most daring performers I've met.

17 years of plugging away and I’m finally under 10,000 STARmeter on IMDb. It may not be much, but it's something. And if I can do it, anyone can.

Still in the top 10 of Fiction podcasts after almost a year. Hit #2 today. If you haven't checked it out yet, give it a listen.
We record table reads of amazing unproduced screenplays to give them more visibility. Then we fully produce the audio with music and sound effects so it sounds like you're listening to the movie. But we keep some of the laughs and flubs resulting in a laid-back and accessible combination of live performance and polished production.

There's something for everyone.
