Well i'm in LA and I can't even get work as an extra. I know there is supposed to be a lot going on in this town but it really doesnt seem like it. I worked more as an extra in salt lake. Is it a slow time of year? or have things really slowed down in hollywood?

Expand commentKen Dohse you nailed it!! Everything is happening in Atlanta! Atlanta is where the features are. Hollywood birth the sitcoms. Producers and execs are more open and less fame driven. Actors are booking everything from commercials to working side by side with legends in the industry. If you're looking to expand as an actor, writer, etc. Atlanta, GA is the best move. I spent some time there doing research to complete a data analysis for film production. Not saying it's "easier", but the creative vibe and outlook it much different!

It's important to let them know what talents you have, important skills you have, can you relate to having that extra role with your skills and jobs you do? Participate in movie groups, get involved in your local area. You've got to hustle and keep knocking and get involved in something and keep working your way up. Good Luck- Ed Skirtich

Chapman does some great work and I loved working with the AFI students when I started out. I've been loving the podcast, Audrey Helps Actors if you need help focusing on finding work. Keep at it!

Expand commentYes .True. Work slow for the past few months. Don t get frustrated. It will take few years to be success what we want in US. Until that time we have to struggle. Don t give up. I was well established in my country . But in LA, everyday life is challenge. I am also waiting for a right time to make my second feature. Looking for producers. For survival, central , LA casting etc etc.. ! Cheers
