The Business of Show
"From in-depth industry research to the glitz and glam, 2012 at CIF is all about the business of show.
Happy 2012! Children In Film is excited to announce this year's theme: The Business of Show. Whether you're just getting started in the industry or you've been a working minor in entertainment for quite some time, we've got something for you this year.
Each month our calendar will be packed to the brim with networking and VIP events, our newsletters will be filled with informative tips and tricks, and our ever-growing membership directory will continue to allow click-of-the-botton access to the industry pros you need to know.
Work Hard, Play Hard
As you're probably well aware, there are many young people who aspire to become working, paid performers. It is a position within show business that many covet due to the appeal of fame, wealth and a glamourous lifestyle. Additionally, performers are often perceived as people who work very hard at their craft, but also get to play hard along the way. But you may also be aware that the limelight has a way of casting shadows, and in these shadows lie the tough-hitting issues that the "get-famous-quick" websites and programs aren't willing (or equipped) to address.
In 2012, Children In Film is going to shed some light on all of these areas. We'll give you the star treatment via events, networking opportunities, industry news and success stories. Yes, we agree this industry is more than what you know - it's who you know- so, we'll load you up with the information, and have you shaking hands and exchanging messages with the pros who can help you take your career to the next level. But we won't stop there...
...A Step Above the Rest
We'll also continue to help parents responsibly prepare for some of the pitfalls that may come up along the way. So while we're educating you on how to secure representation and ace casting calls, we'll also be discussing important concepts like avoiding scams, dealing with rejection, managing expectations, healthy gossip and earnership.
At Children In Film, our mission is to help you achieve your goals, but we're also dedicated to raising up healthy, contributing members of society. So, with a little elbow grease and a dash of glitz-and-glam along the way, Children In Film hopes to make 2012 your best year yet!
Don't Miss Out on the Opportunities We Have in Store for You This Year. Join CIF today!
