Description
To navigate the film & TV industry as an actor, you must have a basic understanding of how it works.  Imagine it like a birds eye view of a maze through which you are trying to find your way. This is a multi-billion dollar industry and we, as artists, are rarely shown behind the curtain. I was lucky - in my first few years in LA, I ended up working in production, distribution, post-production, as a paid writer, and assisting in a casting office.  I attended Cannes and Sundance and over 200 casting workshops, and slowly pieced together how the industry works as a whole.  Over time, I realized how vital this knowledge is. Without it, I watched many actors (including myself!) make simple but time consuming and embarrassing mistakes that cost them film & TV roles or relationships.  This course is designed to give you a clear and broad yet thorough understanding of how each facet of the industry works so you can more effectively strategize throughout your career and gain more roles in films and TV series.It is the first in a masterclass series called the "Secret Actor Society Journey" - developed for our community of actors at the Secret Actor Society.
