What A Great Dinner!!!

On Feb. 5th I attended a dinner event that hosted about 15 industry agents, managers, and producers. It was GREAT! I made many contacts and met a wide variety of actors. It was funny because I was one of the only actors there who had delved into the realm of writing. Sure there were others but I was the only one with his own book ;)

I learned a lot that night about approach and method of gaining attention. When I was too direct it seemed to turn off some of the producers but fortunately not all were as 'gun shy' as those few. Also, there is something admirable about being straight forward. Everyone there that night knew what the event was about and it was just a matter of schooze as to whom got to know the industry peeps the best. Plus, they were looking for specific types anyway.

Overall, I got to pass out a ton of my cards and I know for sure that there were several solid connections made that night. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures ( I didn't want to seem like a tourist amongst shark infested waters). If you are interested in attending the next dinner event it will be held at the end of Summer. Check out my other blog to see when and of course return to this blog for updates on my book BOY that is already at in the formatting stage at the publisher.

Remember to keep peace on your mind and love in your heart!!!
