30 minutes private consulting session costing 420$ !!! And this is supposed to teach you "how to sell yourself in the film and TV market place"... I can think of two options here:
-it really works... because it's a private consulting voodoo session.
-it really works... but what it teaches you is in fact "How to sell your SOUL in the film and TV market place" !

BTW, even if it was working, I doubt I would really want to learn "how to sell myself"...
I'm still optimistic and naive enough to think that talent, time and connections (made with more time and experience) should be enough to finally get a job... How naive and optimistic is that?!!...
My humble opinion: stay away from the crooks.

With the film industry in a slump, apparently some enterprising folks have discovered that there's a lot of money to be made in the course and workshop business. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

real simple , you just have to do what nobody wants to . how about a porno star [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
( basically everybody wants to do this ... hrhr )
we all know that this is supposed to be a monkey business . i would think about if you can stand the pressure or if its more healthy to be " realistic " . theres a lot that has to come together to make it work .
but most of us are still little kids and have their dreams , so am i [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
dont hesitate , welcome to the real world

keep on goin yall , good luck & success
