Relocating to any “major” film & TV market is a vital step to pursue your acting career. While self tapes have enabled established actors to remain remote, it’s important for developmental talent to be where the COMMUNITY is. This enables you to attend in-person networking, educational, and social events on a regular basis to build trust, contacts, and become part of the ‘tribe’. In this class, you’ll learn how to choose the best market, the steps to prepare in the months leading up to your move, and what to do once you arrive. Please note: This is event is at 10am AEST (Sydney/Melbourne time) and 12.00 pm NZ time. You will be sent a Zoom link to tune in. Kym would love to offer you a free class to watch prior to the workshop, called “Understanding The O1-B Visa”
