How's everyone feeling these days? Hard to believe we're almost out of June, huh? The behind-the-scenes at UTD has been heating up more than ever these last few weeks keeping track of the industry's reopening, and while we're very excited for everything coming down the pipe in the months to come, sometimes life gets the best of us, and this past week was one of those weeks. We've compiled all the must-read articles into a few different lists; please take some time to comb through them and see what the status of shows and films are as we continue to navigate reopening.
We also have another Seeking Representation workshop coming up in just two weeks! We always receive great feedback from folks who attend this event and feel empowered to take their search for representation to the next level. Sign up today!
Peace & Love ✌️
