Playtime

(Not gonna lie, I've been REALLY excited to write this blog for months, now!)

Soooo...we're all about plumbing the gifts of social media, right? I mean, chances are you're on Twitter and FB; chances are that you have a blog or a fanpage or a Pinterest. 

And chances are also that you have friended, liked and followed not only your favorite casting directors, but also your dream collaboration team of actors, directors, writers (etc.) whom you admire. You like their posts, you comment on them, you at-reply, you retweet. You rock star, you! 

But what if there was a way to make this even more FUN? Even less schlocky or hammy? What if there was a way to make it, also, 100% about just having fun and building a rapport together instead of marketing?

Oh friends, there is. :D

Who here has tried Words With Friends or Draw Something? Maybe you're addicted to one or both (I totally am). Well, as you may know, it integrates FB friends who have the app--and I'd put money on the idea that you have a few dream collaborators who frequent them--and you can then play loads of games with your targets. :)

Have fun bonding on a whole other level--pure play! 

Ahoy, mateys!

Back from LA!

Ahoy, my friends!

I've been for a while without writing because I recently spent over a month in LA, and I'm writing to share with you the bounty of my trip. :)

As I've shared here, part of my unique trust in ships has to do with the fact that I've been called in from SOLELY those...across the country. By people I've never met before.

While I didn't get to meet those particular offices in person while I was in LA, I DID meet several more who recognized me from my efforts!

At a workshop, one CD stopped in the middle of her speech to a 30+-person class and said, "I know you! I get your postcards!" Another said that she always got my mail and always opened it. While doing drop-offs, yet another peered at me and said, "I know you, you've come in for us before, right?" 

These are just. Ships. Being sent 3,000 miles away to tremendously busy offices. My friends, your efforts will not be wasted--my experiences are totally proof!

I also maximized my trip by shipping every single week to my selected offices; did as many drop-offs as possible, and I also workshopped with 8 of my selected 11. :) Those touch-ins count as ships, too!

Now that I'm back with LOADS more goodies in my noggin, what questions might you have about my experience? Serve 'em up, friends!

Ahoy, mateys!
