Entertainment Industry Insights: Jul. 05 2022
Happy Tuesday, UTD!
I hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th weekend with friends and family. As would be expected, the news cycle is a bit slow. Blame it on the Summer heat and the long weekend. If you're still in holiday mode, check out this topical op-ed: - July 4th for the Film Community: How Hollywood Can Make the Country a Better Place for Filmmakers.
We're adopting our holiday list format this week. I encourage you to find some time to recharge during these Summer weeks. We often get wrapped up in busyness, and I'm still a proponent of continued daily work toward an attainable goal, but sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses too.
While enjoying the sunshine, mark your calendars and join us at our next workshop. As always, this is an excellent opportunity to ask your Up-To-Date Actor Questions! This month we'll be discussing follow-ups and continued communication with the industry. Hope to see you there!
