Certain Tampa Filmmakers Having Trouble Casting Films
It came to my attention today that certain Tampa filmmakers are having trouble finding actors for their films. First, allow me to be the first one to say that I am very sorry for the inconveniences that you are experiencing. I could imagine how frustrating the casting process can be when no one seems to take you seriously. For myself, I don't seem to have those issues. I currently have the largest roster of professional actors, talent, and models in the Tampa Bay market. It's too bad that my refusal to refer any of them to you is only the beginning of your problems.
If it is on the Internet, I am aware of it. I am also able to address it quite effectively if I decide to.
What's that? Having problems keeping your casting notices online? Tips? Well, first of all, stop using a freebie networking profile as your "business" web site. Invest in a professional web site. Maybe, then, more of the actors who you are soliciting will take you seriously. How do they know that you are not some creepy guy with a video camera looking to exploit them in the name of "art" when your credibility is in question because you obviously have not made any investments into your career? Isn't it depressing when you realize that many of the people who are working to remove your ads are the actors who you are trying to solicit for your films? There are a lot of scams and con artists posting on certain free web sites, and how can anyone tell you apart from the scams? Also, did you piss someone off, by doing something underhanded toward them and proving how unprofessional you are, who has the capability to undermine what you are doing?
Today is the beginning of phase two. It will be an ongoing operation to bring balance to the Tampa indie film scene.
Karma is a mysterious thing. So is the credibility of anyone who takes shortcuts. There is no use crying over the milk dribbling from the broken bottles in the crates. You made the mess, and now you simply must drink what you can before it soaks into the dirt; down in the dirt where you belong.
Oh, and in a related note, I will be launching two more indie film-relevant web sites in the next month. They will become fully operational by 2011 to support what I have planned.
