News and Master Class in Madrid

By | Blog

Filming of Fox TV Pilot, Masterwork, begins next week in Prague. We’re all hoping that it will go to series and will be shot here. Cross fingers. It will mean lots of work in Prague. Yay!

I had a wonderful class in Paris, thanks to Rosy Allary and Jean-Christophe Luccesi. 

I’m excited that my former student Andrea Balbis is now working on organizing a new Master Class for me in Madrid. That will be the last week-end in May. Stay tuned for details, or keep in touch with Andrea at: dulcinea_h@hotmail.com

RED TAILS IS UP ON THE CASTING SCENE

By | Blog

REDTAILS

directed by Anthony Hemingway
produced by: George Lucas and Rick McCallum
shooting in Prague: April – June 09
It’s the story of African American pilots fighting during World War II.

For any African American actors who are willing to work as locals in Prague, please see The Casting Scene website. You can view sides and record yourself on a webcam and I’ll view the casting. I am not accepting submission from white actors who live outside of Prague at the moment. 

Sorry, girls, no roles for females. We’ll have to write our own film, but that’s a subject for another time.
