I was supposed to get an exclusive contract since I was originally in a non exclusive contract. They decided not to renew my contract at the last minute due to having to get a certain number of people. I'm so devestated. Help!! Please!!!
If you push them to keep you, you could end up with a contract with an agent who then does nothing for you. Better to find someone who is excited about promoting you :-)

Expand commentNathan, my advice to you - coming from an experienced writer-director and a producer, and someone who has taught an acting workshop (now twice-monthly) for seven years (please check out my BLOG here on STAGE 32 on 10 things actors need to avoid, posted this past Monday) - would be to be more proactive. NOT to worry so much about management, and instead concern yourself networking with TALENTED Indie writers, producers and directors. Ones that make PROFESSIONAL films with name and character actors, as well as up-and-comers. Those relationships with Indie filmmakers can really help you rise in this business. Saturate yourself in the Indie marketplace and at festivals. (And, if you tell me, you don't believe in festivals, I say 'Lots of Luck to you!' ;) ) Seriously, FESTIVALS and INDIE FILMMAKERS can be the lifeblood of unknown actors! There is a great opportunity to work. Truth is, that most agents and managers aren't really going to help you until you can make some serious money for them. I'm not saying there aren't a lot of good ones out there, but if you went to festivals, networked with INDIE filmmakers, went on Actors Access, Backstage and IMDb for their castings, came here to STAGE 32 and got really proactive, you can do a better job, I believe. I believe it was Wes Craven who said, "You're always your own best agent." Remember that. Stop concerning yourself with management, and start getting more proactive meeting Indie Filmmakers. SATURATE YOURSELF in the marketplace by getting cast in Festival Films and Indies with distribution. Check out my BLOG and make sure you're doing "The Bare Minimum." That is my advice to you. GOD BLESS, Onward and Upward ... and Stay Fresh! ;)
You had an agency, not an agent. What kind of work did they find you? Print? Speaking roles? Voice over? Or was it mainly extra or background work? An exclusive contract would have worked in favor of the agency, not in your favor.

Does anyone know where I can rent a 16mm Steenbeck editing console in the NJ & NY area? Thanks all.
@Amanda: Thanks for the list! Besides the machine I needed splicing accessories too. @Ethan: East Coast (NYC). I called everywhere. The few spots that did offer rentals are out of business.
Have you contacted Millennium in Brooklyn? http://millenniumfilm.org/equipment-rental/
I did contact Millennium but no one returned my messages. There were 3 other businesses in the Brooklyn area also with similar services and they were out of business. The one option I'm leaning towards is to digitize the film footage and edit off computer.
The gratitude is all real despite the electronic delivery.
Are you sure that you aren't also a comedian?
It is true that some people find an email thank-you impersonal, but I personally don't. That's why I found what you said comical. It is common practice for people to write post-job interview thank you notes, after all. They are not deemed as inauthentic, so the same can be said for emails.
Here's my impersonation of actor Vincent Price reading Tim Burton's poem, Vincent. https://soundcloud.com/julian-dilorenzo/vincent-audio
Vincent would give his hearty approval ;-)
Eh, I personally feel I could do much better in some parts now.
We always look back and see what we could do better. That is part of growing.
Congratulations to one and all.

Expand postHi, I'm financing a short film called POLLY with a group of female filmmakers from London who have come together to create a story that will explore the pressures of societal femininity and how young people are able to combat this.This exciting new project promotes self-beauty, self-acceptance and self-worth, rejecting stereotypes of beauty and celebrating diversity. Also as a team of women, we're fighting to break into and change a male dominated industry. Our hope is to partner with companies (think Dove, Always, Simple, etc.) which can sponsor/support us. Does anyone have any companies/contacts/schemes they could recommend speaking to? Thanks!
Thanks for all the suggestions guys! It's going well - we're in the middle of casting & starting to move into pre-production so it's moving :)

Perhaps try with some charities, that maybe deal with the subject your story is about.
My American Civil War romance JACOB'S OCEAN took first place all Drama and Family in the Creative World Awards Screenplay Competition.
Congrats!!
