ACT,ATTRACT, ACCOMPLISH, WORKSHOPS

1. You've got talent but you are not being seen.

HOW DO YOU GET SEEN, WIN AUDITIONS AND GET CONSISTENT GOOD ROLES?


Fed up with being

The one in the wings waiting to feature in major productions, waiting to win prestigious awards? 


I've learned something most actors never figure out: Star in particular short films opposite high ranking actors and your own career will move upwards faster. It's a massive springboard.

But you dont get the opportunity

NOW YOU CAN!


Here's what casting directors see when they look at your profile: 

  1. Your headshots
  2. Your IMDb credits, 
  3. Your reel footage, 
  4. How you're positioned in the industry. ie your agent and credits
  5. Talent and training matter but without proof of your abilities, you're invisible. 


DON'T BLAME AGENTS

THEY TRY ON YOUR BEHALF 

BUT YOU NEED TO WORK AT IT TOO

NOT JUST SIT BACK AND EXPECT ROLES TO FALL IN YOUR LAP.


Practice, network, polish audition skills, have a great cv full of exciting productions.


SO HOW DO YOU GET PROOF IF NO-ONE WILL CAST YOU?

2. The IMDb Advantage (And Why It Matters)

1. You've got talent but you are not being seen.

IMDB AS AN INDICATOR OF YOUR POSITION IN THE ACTING WORLD 


Most newcomers to the industry rank in the millions on IMDb. Profile Actors rank under 200,000.

Here's what most actors don't know: When you work opposite a profile  actor, your own ranking accelerates exponentially.

One of my actors, Nekoda Garrett, went from entry level to 193,000 in two years. She's now booking roles that didn't even put her in the room before. Here she is in our film The Bribe: https://youtu.be/-37yEwJ3MIE           

That's not luck. That's strategic positioning.

Imdb ranking is a proof of your positioning in the industry. Some people say they never look at it but it's as foolish or old fashioned as saying I don't use social media or I don't believe in AI. It's a ranking that counts.


HOW CAN YOU DO THAT?

>>>>>>>>>

Who This Is For

This isn't for actors who are "exploring options." It's for actors who are talented but invisible and ready to manufacture the proof that makes casting directors remember you.

You might be:

→ Fresh out of drama school and ready to leapfrog your peers


→ Returning to acting after raising a family or recovering from illness


→ A working actor stuck in a booking drought, hungry to break into higher-calibre roles





3. Short Films with YOU and a profile actor

1. You've got talent but you are not being seen.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT


I'm offering bespoke, short films of potential award winning calibre designed to reposition you professionally with PROFILE ACTORS playing opposite you.


Here's what that means:

✓ You're the lead. Not a supporting role. The film is written to show off your talents after an initial consultation.


✓ Your short film partner is a professional actor with an IMDb ranking under 200,000. This isn't just good footage—it's a credit that moves your career forward.


✓ It's a registered IMDb credit,  only short films can be registered not showreel clips. Which means every casting director, agent, and producer who looks you up sees it. It can be cut into your reel as well.

 ✓ Award-winning production quality. 36 films produced. 85 international awards.  We can access actors who elevate your positioning.


→ Serious about compressing what normally takes 3-5 years into a single strategic production?

Act, Attract, Accomplish  

Hannah Rae (imdb rating under 60,000, who was in my film Crushed as a newcomer, was spotted and offered a role in Broadchurch as David Tenant, Olivia Coleman's daughter. Her career continued to grow from there

Crushed:

When an agent or casting director pulls up your Spotlight, Imdb or cv and sees you've worked opposite actors they recognize, in a film that's been submitted to festivals, with production quality it signals you're a serious consideration. 


That's what happens when you stop waiting for someone to discover you—and start creating the evidence that makes discovery inevitable.

It's for those who know what it takes:
