TV show looking for abandoned locations
Date: 2012-03-26, 6:23PM EDT
Reply to: john.adams3@hotmail.com 

Do you know of a vacant, pre-WWII building near you that has a
fascinating history? Pictureshack Entertainment has a great new show
on a major cable network, and we're looking for abandoned locations!
Ideally, these buildings are time capsules full of the artifacts that
tell the story of the people who lived, worked, and played there. We
are working with an extremely talented salvager who will lead the
audience through these buildings, in search of items to purchase so
the location owner must be willing to negotiate a fair price to sell
some of the items inside. Is an ideal location popping to mind? Email
us with all pertinent details (pictures would be great!) at
developmentgroup@pictureshackentertainment.com

MARK MULLEN WORKSHOPS - ORLANDO AREA

 

The busiest part of the commercial season is just around the corner and the regional episodic television series are all about to go back into production. There has never been a better time to dive into a workout with one of the many workshops being offered at Mullen Casting this winter!

INSIDER SECRETS WORKSHOP: AUDITIONS & CALLBACKS

Adults 17 and over are invited to join us on SAT., JAN. 21 - 10AM TO 4PM when Casting Directors Mark Mullen and Shannon Ready share over 10 years of expertise about the auditioning process by revealing what goes on after the callback. This is a rare opportunity to take a walk inside the minds of the directors, producers, ad agency execs and clients who set the trends and call the shots that ultimately result in whether you're booking jobs or just going to a lot of auditions.

Mark will share stories of audition mishaps, close calls, missed opportunities and that rare moment when the planets align and the elusive role is booked. Actors will be put on camera reading actual commercial copy, television sides, and feature film scripts. The performances will then be viewed and analyzed in front of the class.

Q & A Session (3 pm to 4 pm): By the end of the workshop you will hopefully possess answers to every question you've ever had about the business in Florida and beyond. Prepare for straight-from-the-hip answers to the questions others tend to skirt.

Each participant will receive a flash drive of their performances from the workshop! This is a great way to continue reviewing and refining your skills long after the workshop has concluded.

Lunch will be provided.

She is an award winning actress, director, and producer with over 200 national, regional, and local commercials. She has appeared as an actor and/or spokesperson in commercials for such companies as Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Microsoft, Nissan, Publix, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Bob Evans, Maxide, Subway Restaurants and numerous others. She has also worked as a casting director and account supervisor for an award winning advertising agency and spent years in the talent agency business. Come to this amazing workshop and you too can learn what she knows!

Last year alone, over a dozen hosting jobs came through the audition studios at Mullen Casting. Make sure 2012 finds you at the top of your agent's list when the next hosting job comes to town.

Jeffrey maintains a career in the on-camera acting field as well. In 1988, he began adding Television and Film acting credits to his resume, getting his start on the NBC TV pilot 'A FATHER'S HOMECOMING' with Michael McKeon (Lenny from 'LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY').
