    Hi! Based in Canada. A few months ago I booked two short films back to back on my own, both with interesting, contrasting concepts & directors who had a lot of vision. One has already released and the footage is great. I told my agent about the bookings and...

    I don’t want to be an Actor anymore

    I never thought those words would ever come out of my mouth, it’s what I studied for 7 years and I was lucky to get an agent very shorty after I graduated. But after almost a year of auditions and self tapes with very little bookings, and almost none of the...
