AAFL WKSHP 24OCT2006: AAFilmLab Actor Series Pt II: The Acting Manager

Posted: Thursday, October 19, 2006

AAFL_20061024

We are proud to present our third workshop of this year. Many thanks to our Directors, Natalie Kim, Son Tran and Matte Chi and our adventurous Actors who participated in our script reading last month. We would like our monthly meetings to be a place where actors, writers, directors, and others can come to re-connect with the rest of the world. Too often we are in our own bubble and it's only through collaboration can anything be accomplished, especially for film and theater.

Our next meeting will be a doozie. For the first hour we will focus on Acting Managers. Makalina Abalos from Jadin Wong Talent Management will be joining us. This will be a great opportunity to get to know their group and for them to get to know you if you are not represented or are looking to change managers. For the second hour we will hang out and network as we have done in the past, but this time will will be announcing the new AAFL management team and give you an opportunity to get to know us and vice versa.

During the Acting Manager workshop we aim to addresses the following:

2. Agent vs. Manager, also the working relationship
3. Commercial vs. Legit work; why don't I get sent out on more legit things?
4. What can I do to best work with my manager and vice versa
5. How do I get represented if I don't have representation?

We will have a suggested donation of $5.00/person to help us with administrative costs for this workshop. Thanks for your support!

CURRENT PROJECTS

“Reminiscence” Chinatown Film Project

Posted: Thursday, July 09, 2009



The AAFilmLab partnered with MOCA and APEX to provide a mentor who could guide a high school student's endeavor at creating their first short film. "Reminiscence" is one of the films completed. This film is now part of MOCA's Chinatown Film Project YouTube Channel.

The synopsis:
A young girl celebrates her grandmother's birthday as they reminisce about the grandfather who has recently passed away. We travel back in memory to 1965 - the grandparents, as a young couple, overcome what looks to be the end of their burgeoning relationship when the grandfather returns to China to tend to his sick mother.
