Message from Faith Hibbs-Clark, CSA of Good Faith Casting, LLC

ARIZONA’S #1 CASTING DIRECTOR

“Because Experience Matters!”

Hello friends and colleagues

…I ask that you please read it in its entirety. Read this on your computer rather than your phone ) so that you can fully benefit from it.

For the past few months, we have been working to gain our tax incentives for the state to provide more film and television production. I enjoyed casting on many of the projects (see list) that came to Arizona as a result of our previous tax incentives and I would like to see these types of projects back in our lives and in our state.

• Hidden Palms (WB Network)
• The Savages (Fox Searchlight)
• Take Me Home Tonight (formerly Kids in America) Univseral Pictures
• S.I.S. (Sony/Spike TV)
• Middle Men(Paramount)
• Maneater (Sony/Lifetime)
• Piranha 3D (The Weiinstein Company)

I continue to cast films (On The Road, Goats) but it is harder to get these films without the tax incentives. I know we have lost some important productions of late because they chose a state where there ARE tax incentives.

We can bring them back. We can do that by:

#1 having a healthly and professional film industry here to meet their needs.

#2 Giving them tax incentives to make it financially beneficial as well.

I believe these two things need to go hand in hand for us to continue to produce quality productions.

I have learned that opportunity doesn’t just “find” you. You have to go out and make it happen. I built a business on this concept. Even without the tax incentives, I still do everything I can to bring films to this market. I recently wrote a four page article for the Hollywood & Vine Magazine (see links below) to inspire filmmakers to our great location. As a result, I was able to lure two feature films to Arizona. (filming starts this fall) Download and feel free to pass along this article along.

So, now we are at a critical time for our tax incentive bill. Many hard working and committed folks have gotten it this far, now we need your help to bring her home.

We need for you to call Senator Pierce (President of the Senate) TODAY to ask that HB2127 be put on the agenda. This is key.

Senator Pierce 602-926-5584

You don’t have to be an expert to call. I am including a list of talking points for you to read so that you can have some ideas of what to say. But, please BE RESPECTFUL. Negativety doesn’t get you heard and it doesn’t grow a market. Just voice your desire to do something positive for our state. For more talking points, click on the attached.

Together, we can do this!

Good Faith Casting, LLC- AUDITIONING FOR FILM I, workshop

Good Faith Casting, LLC
Workshop Announcement  AUDITIONING FOR FILM I:

Greetings!

       I have had a few cancellations for tomorrow’s “Auditioning for Film I” workshop that I can open up to my general list on a first come – first served basis. If you don’t get a spot in tomorrow’s workshop, please note if you would like to be added to the Auditioning for Film wait list.  Remember that this is the 1st of a series of 3 required workshops that allow you to participate in the free “L.A. Showcase” in the spring of 2010. Take just 1 workshop or take all and participate in the showcase.  It is up to you!

      No matter how many film classes you have taken, or books you may have read, it won’t help you get parts in movies if you don’t know how to audition for film!   You will never get the chance to strut your stuff on set or use what you have learned in other classes, if you don’t first get the part.   Auditions are the gateways to your dreams and the process is often overlooked in training.   As a casting director, I have seen many capable actors who didn’t get the part only because they didn’t present the producers with a strong audition.   Auditioning for film has its own set of rules and skills that vary significantly from what you do on the set.   The trick to landing a part in a film, is KNOWING this stuff.   Auditioning actors is what I do all day long.   I see what works and what doesn’t. I watch in sadness as I see great actors sabotage their chances of success.   I have taken mental notes and decided it is time to share this information with the people who matter most – THE ACTORS! You will learn valuable skills, knowledge, and tricks of the trade that only the pros know, and who better to teach that than a casting director who makes it all happen.   It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or experienced, I guarantee you will learn things you have never been taught in other classes and you will audition better for knowing it. With lots of time on camera, and individual feedback, you can’t afford to miss this intensive one-day workshop.

REGISTRATION:

      The fee includes a comprehensive workbook for you to take home with you.   For actors of all levels who are age 16 or older. GFCworkshops@gmail.com and state you desire to register.   If you get a spot, you will be emailed a registration form and will be expected to attend. I  f you did not get a spot for this particular workshop, you will be sent an email stating that you have been put on a waiting list.   Once on the waiting list, you will be given priority registration for any and all upcoming workshops and be allowed early registration.
