Mentioned it before: I was elected to the Equity committee, I'm in the habit of investigating offers made by questionable producers to ensure that vulnerable actors aren't ripped off, but are respected.

Thanks. What a relief.

HELLO??? Of course it's bloody hazy to us what you want! Why do you think everyone thinks you're evasive and is unsure about you? This post is the first time you've come close to responding to anybody's questions!

A little bit disappointed in your tendency to treat the people you expect to be working with like mindless cattle. Forgive me, this is probably not the case, but it's the impression that you give in your written responses. See my first point, about respect for actors.

Thanks for the encouragement. Sorry I'm unavailable, my next job involves me spending time at the beach! (true!)

I'm not sure either what everyone's expectations are of you, but I'm guessing more than a touch. Like I said, this is the most information you've been forthcoming with, and the end result is: no information.
Keep in touch with your advisers, and good luck in getting this whole ship afloat...after all this discussion, I really do hope the project floats successfully.

Of course, be aware that the acting community here reading this is probably going to follow advice also. I would have thought the problem is not so much of moving mountains, but of instilling faith in your followers...as the proverb goes, that would probably solve all the issues.

Cheers
Craig
