Table Read Opportunity by Heidi Schussman  •  last post Jan 8th

The Table-read for The Tattered Book is officially set for Jan 27th, 5:00 PST. I need more actors! Please join the growing group of actors and producers who will be attending. I can’t wait to see and hear this charming and unique screenplay read by you. I adapted this from a novel I wrote in response to a demand for a book in which “the main character falls in love with the reader.” Type it into the web and you’ll see it’s almost a cult following.


Remember, this is just for fun and to practice your art. This is not an audition. That being said, it never hurts to get your face out there. ;)  PM me if you're interested.

Here’s the logline & synopsis of the storyline:
Logline: A shy introverted woman buys a book about a handsome detective in Italy who seems to see her. As he begins to fall in love with her, she must choose between being pulled into a fictitious world or throwing the book away... and her chance at love. (The Lakehouse meets Just Like Heaven)

Synopsis: Going for a morning run, Cassi stops at a garage sale and buys a tattered detective novel. Her family accuses her of living in a fictional world. Cassi disagrees, but as soon as she starts reading it, her carefully ordered life begins to unravel. Every time she reads the book, she dreams about it… about what hasn’t happened yet. And the main character seems to see her, even in the written pages of the book she’s reading. Shy by nature, Cassi attempts to talk to him in her dreams, but every time she does, she wakes up. Not knowing who she can trust with her bizarre secret, she confides in one of her elderly physical therapy patients who believes her. His advice is comical.

Detective Marco Marino is working an intricate and dangerous case in Florence, Italy. The Scutari mob has threatened another business in Florence. Trained in the United States, he uses his extensive knowledge of mob families to corner this ancient family. As he works the case a mysterious woman keeps appearing and disappearing like a phantom. At first, he’s unnerved by this constant distraction from his work, until he realizes she is trying to help him solve the case. If only she could speak! When he takes her into his arms for a fleeting kiss, he knows she’s real. This is a mystery he must solve.

Hollywood Reporter: Armie Hammer now turning down jobs. A low-budget Western (that I produced) named Frontier Crucible brought him back by Preston Poulter  •  last post Jan 3rd

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Armie Hammer now has to turn down work because he's getting so many offers. 

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/armie-hammer-talks-comeback-turning-jobs-down-podcast-1236097804/

He got massively #MeToo-ed during COVID and had not worked in acting since. As the producer of the movie that facilitated his return to acting, Frontier Crucible (referenced in the article), I can say he was quite professional and charming during our entire three weeks of shooting.

Great for the New Year! Tips for Better Headshots, According To a Top Acting Coach: by Tammy Hunt  •  last post Dec 27th


- Go pro. Spend money-it’s worth it. Go to a professional who is trained, understands lighting, and takes headshots for a living, not some friend who happens to have a decent camera who “sorta knows a little about photography.”

- Opt for personality over glamour. Make sure it looks like you. Chill with the airbrushing. Casting directors expect you to look just like your headshot and will not be happy when you show up looking totally different or 10 years older.

- Remember: It’s all about the eyes. Just like with on-camera acting, it’s all about the eyes and what’s happening behind them. It’s your closeup, your moment. Your eyes should be perfectly in focus, alive, and energized, not dead and glazed over.

- Pay attention to framing, lighting, and background. In general, a good headshot is chest up with good lighting on your face, and no strong dramatic shadows, unless you are going in for “The Phantom of the Opera.” Three-quarter shots are good for print, and extreme close-ups are good for, well, nothing.

- Consider natural light vs. studio. Some photographers do both, as they offer a different look and feel. Natural light gives a very real, “film” look, which I prefer. Studio lighting tends to be a little more polished, with a more neutral backdrop. Both can be wonderful. If you are more of a sitcom actor, perhaps a well-lit studio headshot is more suited for you.

- Don’t go crazy with clothing and props. I once saw a headshot of a guy with a bird on his head. Why? Because he wanted to stand out. Let’s not get crazy here. Keep it simple and classy. Professionalism not desperation gets you noticed. A simple, solid shirt with a little texture that fits you.

- Go easy with the makeup. Yes, lots can be done with retouching. There is no need to put on tons of makeup. You want to look like yourself on your best day and not look like you tried too hard. Do your hair the way you would for every audition.

- Matt Newton, On-Camera Acting Coach
