FILM SCHOOL FILES

Most film schools have a file where they keep headshots of actors.
I just got back from a USC audition today and went by the STUDENT
PRODUCTION OFFICE in the George Lucas Bldg to drop off my pix. It is
highly advisable to do this as some of these students will be the
next big thing. Plus, you can get some solid work for your demo
reel.

You can probably get started from this link:
http://www.usc.edu/directories/dept/cinema_television.html

Other schools:
http://www.UCLA.edu

CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY (Orange, CA)
http://ftv.chapman.edu/academics/index.cfm?s=Students

AMERICAN FILM INSTITUTE (Hollywood, CA)
http://www.afi.com/education/Conservatory/default.aspx

SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY
http://theatre.sdsu.edu/television-film.htm

If the extended links don't work go to their homepage and type
in 'film' in the search field and you should be able to find it.

Also, don't discount community colleges. They always get a bad rep
in movies, but I've seen some great stuff come from them. Cameron
Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous) went to San Diego City College -
a CC in downtown SD.

Before you become a huge star, you might want to get your name as a
domain name. Even if you don't set up a site so you won't run into
trouble like Spike. The cheapest way is through
http://www.GoDaddy.com - where it's only $8/year. You can reserve
it up to 10 years at a time for only about $80.
