Carolyn Alyce: Makeup artist in Los Angeles, California.

I'm located in greater LA and I want to create content. I went to art school so have a general idea of how film and audio equipment, editing, post production, etc works. I have two YouTube channels that are eligible for monetization and no this won't be your typical beauty blogger/guru video. I want to create shorts and incorporate my knowledge of SFX as intros, pay at first will be minimum wage since it will be out of pocket, but once the revenue starts rolling in, pay will be increased. I'd like to keep the team the same, but I am open to new members. Also at first a crew will be needed once a month and once again when revenue picks up it will be 2-4 times a month. Thanks for your time! I hope to hear from folks soon, even if someone needs a makeup artist, let me know :)

So I have a question, more so seeking advice. I was asked to work on a "short film" with deferred payment. I began to ask questions, come to find out, it's actually a feature and they are not supplying anything. This will be a month and a half of no pay and my time, for only copy, credit, and meals. Should I just let this go, or should I work on this feature? They managed to get a whole crew together, but from what it seems, no one will be getting paid, correction deferred payment. I am 1 of 2 makeup artist, and they want nationality change, old age makeup, etc.

Hi Carolyn. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
