Hello, my fellow artists! Welcome to another exciting edition of my weekly blog. As you all know, I have two goals that I am focusing on this year. And each week, I am alternating between the two goals to provide updates that are hopefully inspiring and engaging. This week, we are back to my acting goal for 2024: Book supporting roles in feature films produced and distributed by independent or mid-sized studios.
I’m still at it! Since my last update, I have continued outflowing support to my relationship map. I also researched the 2024 feature film lineup at Cannes and Tribeca (I will finish my research with the 2024 feature film lineups for Telluride and Toronto.) During this meticulous research, I came across three names I recognized and reached out to them to offer congratulations. I’m looking at these specific film festivals because the independent films that screen there are the kinds I want to be in and the kinds that already have distribution in place with a mid-sized or independent movie studio or will acquire a distribution deal with them after they screen. Through my research, I see what’s out there and what is being made. Which films speak to me so that I can watch them later? Who are the directors and producers behind these films? Who are the casting directors behind these films? How can I outflow to them in a supportive and professional way? I’ve also researched more SAG-AFTRA Foundation Casting Access classes to find classes with my target list of casting directors. Keep reading below 🙂
In assessing my year so far, I am adding a few more things to my DOIN for my acting goal (including a friend’s idea that I write my own film in the style of a mid-sized/independent movie studio and cast myself in it.) I also looked at opening up the aperture to bigger studios. I realized it could be that role in a Universal Studios, Warner Bros., or Netflix feature film that creates the pathway to booking roles with A24, Focus Features, Searchlight, etc. Keep reading below 🙂
See you all next week!
