In addition to all of the upcoming casting

during PILOT SEASON!
Get Networked ! Get Seen ! Get Results !
February 1st - 7th, 2010
What is it?
LA Connection is a seven-day actor “Boot Camp” that is produced in Los Angeles to help inform, educate, and launch your career on the West
Coast. Participants have an exclusive opportunity to interview, work and network with 15 top LA casting directors and agents. This trip is great
for “testing the waters,” planting seeds for your upcoming move, promoting yourself for current projects and Pilot Season, or to find out if you
could be truly happy pursuing your film/television career in Southern California.
Does it work?
YES!!! In the thirteen years we’ve run this program, we’ve had tons of success stories. During our VERY successful previous trips, the actors
were continuously praised by the guests for the level of talent they brought to the table, and how wonderful it was (unlike most of their LA
experiences) to finally have a room full of talented, trained and previously screened actors showcasing excellent work! Upon the completion
of our last trip, many were told by various casting directors to call them when they moved to LA; while others who had intended to return
to NYC found an apartment, sent for their things, and were at producer sessions the following week. Many actors have received auditions,
booked work, signed with agencies, and gotten over their fear of LA as a direct result from participating in this program!
Who goes?
Space is limited to 22 qualified actors per program. This limited enrollment assures a focused and
supportive environment that will remain both personal and educational. Actors Connection
feels that by screening our participants and keeping the program small and intimate, YOU
help us “Open Doors” to some of the most prominent Casting Directors and Agents who
ALWAYS return to our program knowing the quality and caliber of actors we present.
Highlights :
•
•
•
An LA Orientation including: a discussion of the LA market; the idiosyncrasies between coasts; the ins and outs of surviving in LA; as
well as valuable insider information from other working actors who have actually made the transition to LA.

adjustments on your work; followed by a Q&A wrap-up.
