TESTIMONIAL: I feel totally comfortable and excited about working and growing with such a professional and honest agency. "I felt that the seminar and the booklet were both excellent-if we all take all of that information and apply it to our careers, we will be well on our way!" Cynthia Walker, Halifax, NS.
TESTIMONIAL: The Getting Started in Film & TV 101 seminar was the best thing I could have done for myself, trying to start from the very bottom in this business. I definitely needed something to point me in the right direction, and give me concrete advice about how to proceed. I think the seminar was exactly what I needed. I left the seminar with tons of new information, and all my questions answered. Everything taught in the seminar was well-explained, straightforward, and genuinely important and helpful to a new actor. I would definitely recommend this seminar to anyone who is starting out in the business and isn't sure how to get a foot in the door. This is really the information you need to get started.
