How do you find workshops?
Hi guys,

“I was wondering where the best place is to look for casting director workshops in London/England? My agent has recommended them to me, but I can never find them before people are tweeting about how great they were! Any tips? Thank you!” —filmgeek19

Looking for creative, motivated collaborators:
Hi there,

“My best friend Faith Jaggernauth (@faithjaggernauth on Instagram) is looking for talented photographers, makeup artists, stylists, and hair stylists to help her build content for her professional and fast-growing modeling Instagram page with 70k+ followers. As this is a collaborative effort, it will be free of charge on both ends.

“Please reach out directly to her through her IG handle saying you’d like to collaborate and make sure to mention any past work.” —sophiaaxx

Back at it again: 
“Folks, where do you find auditions? And are places generally hiring right now due to COVID? I just quit my job and wanna pound the pavement and do this full-time.” —thatcraigactor
