Scams...
Tue, 25 June 2002, 07:04 pmThis may sound like I'm paranoid. It may have happened before.
I found out about this audition for a feature film. It was reported on in a local rag, giving a phone number to call for more information about getting a part. I rang the number, the bloke that's directing the film said that I had to send a letter to a certain address requesting a copy of the script and my documenting previous experience... as well as $20 for the cost of the script.
It's not a nice thought that in today's society that we are sometimes a little hasty in our judgements, but the people I have spoken to about this have given me a piece of their mind... and they are, needless to say, a little sceptic. I'd prefer to give the benefit of the doubt, though...

Thu, 27 June 2002, 07:15 pmName name's? Nooooo, I was trying not to mention any names actually, not in the public eye anyway; I believe people are innocent until proven guilty. I was thinking about whether or not the director visits this site; I sent a letter of today saying I'd pay for a script if and when I get a part. Maybe I shouldn't have used MY name...
