BOOKING UPDATE!
Early enrollment savings for August classes ends Sunday!
Many masked hugs to PAUL BUXTON on booking an amazing part playing the infamous Bull Mannion of Alabama in a feature! More below.
FYI: The DGA, IATSE, IBT, SAG -AFTRA and AMPTP recently announced a tentative agreement on the COVID-19 Safety Agreement reflecting vaccines and other scientific advances. Modifications center on workplace practices for fully vaccinated cast & crew, including changes to outdoor masking requirements & updated mealtime protocols. Producers will also have the option to implement mandatory vaccination policies for casts and crew in Zone A on a production-by-production basis.
So, Actors:
If you are comfortable making it public, it would behoove you to put your
"FULLY VACCINATED" status in the top HEADER of your resume at Actors Access, Casting Networks, and Casting Frontier. ( until they create a Skills category to note that status)
