This is going to be a rather brief post, I'm picking up my bestie from the airport. I'm going to play tourist for the first time since I've been here, so I'll share what we did on Monday. I imagine it's going to be full of museums and food.
I've mentioned the Chicago Filmmakers networking event a few times, but I have some exciting news. The day before yesterday, I shot some test footage for a director I met there. I'm going to be involved in a cool project because I was trying to be proactive about meeting people in the industry.
At the event, he described what he did. I was genuinely interested and asked for his email so I could check out his work. We exchanged emails, and I followed up the next day, as I was instructed by said bestie. I watched his stuff, liked it, and told him so. He asked for for my demo reel (I don't have one), so I sent him an audition video I put together for an agent submission. He liked it and Tuesday I was testing.
I'm not sure how often this happens, but not bad for the first time out.
Thus, get out there, be proactive!
