I would like to help out with doing hair for movies/TV. I live in Dallas Georgia and have 20+ years experience in hair cutting and styling. Do you have any suggestions on how I can go about obtaining this?
Submitting for “Arguing Homeless Couple”
I’m 18 Years old and I Can play the frat guys or the arguing people, rangers and tellers.
These casting calls look great. But I’m in Canada, a few hours from Ottawa. I don’t have the means to get there for a casting call, but I believe I have something to offer. I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you.
Only advise I can offer is to keep looking for productions filming in Canada. Movie extras and small roles are mostly cast locally because they do not pay travel and the pay is much, much, much less than travel costs to make it worthwhile for talent.
