All Idaho Craze Agency Talent Please read great news!!!!

I have spent countless hours speaking with Catrine McGregor Casting about building the Idaho market. She is dedicated to making Idaho a hotbed for Talent projects. We need everyone at Craze Agency on board and professional to make this happen!!!

Please read!!!!

After 40 years of working professionally in the film industry, I am living in Boise. Though most my work is not in this area, I have committed to living here, and raising the professional bar.

Representative Tom Dayley and I have started a film advisory board, not linked to the State of Idaho in any way. The board is taking a different approach to growing the industry in this state. In doing so, we are focusing on building a stronger infrastructure in Idaho and helping local film makers in attaining their goals before we reach out to out-of-state film makers. Since the board’s inception, less than two months ago, we have made great progress. We now have an in-state full service entertainment law firm, and insurance company that will provide entertainment coverage, and a payroll company specializing in entertainment and SAG/AFTRA.

These are important issues!!!  They will help bring many more Commercials, TV, Modeling and of course film projects to IDAHO. This is what Catrine expects from our talent when we send her our talent for consideration for her projects and what Craze expects for our talent to understand for all types of projects we book!

·        Make sure for all acting auditions they have their sides when auditioning (if any) and that they are memorized! Make sure that they bring a Craze approved headshot and resume – STAPLED.

·        They need to clearly know what ‘slate’ means

·        Encourage them to STUDY

·        They need to know about the project is – I have people come in to audition for a feature film and they ask me if it’s a play

·        THEY NEED TO BE AVAILABLE FOR CALLBACKS AND THE SHOOT

·        If I see the same actor represented by two agents, he is automatically removed from further consideration on that project

Those of you who have worked with me for a while know how much I care about talent being represented properly, and how much I care about the process, because “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” There is a great process in place – let’s keep it that way!

Craze Agency and Catrine are committed to IDAHO and are doing everything in our power to help the industry and talent grow!!!
