Casting Call! Pt 1

Posted by Kelly Shibari On July - 28 - 2009

OK, I don’t do casting call type posts that often, but there are two separate projects going on that I’d love to share with you guys…

Sharing the Bouquet

Posted by Kelly Shibari On July - 27 - 2009

Things have changed in the past few years. If you think that you can continue by playing the “I’m better than the rest of you” game and come out ahead, then you’re probably going to be sadly mistaken.

Hate and Disappointment

Finding the Right Props

Focus, drive, intelligence and ambition don’t hurt, but make sure you’re coming into this business with both eyes wide open.
