I reckon this has gone far enough. If someone doesn't put a stop to this Claude McNamara then i will notify the authorities. It seems that every time a young girl asks for work, he's there. As a perfect example: there is a post from a young girl 13 wanting a job in acting/modeling. The only person to reply is none other than Claude and he states and i quote "I need someone your age to model a product for me.
If you are interested E-mail me with enquiries and a photo at Claude_McNamara@hotmail.com

I hope to meet you soon and make your drem come tru!

Claude"

Now this coming from the guy who was just looking for young 13-17 year old girls to act in his motion picture with the chance of being noticed by hollywood. Get help Claude and get off this site.

Is this the same Steve Johnson who was the Managing Director of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment in Australia... responsible for the promotion and release of their DVDs? When did you change departments?

You of all people should know that we have far stricter employment visa regulations in Australia than to allow passing Czechs to wander in and start casting feature films in their spare time before they have to get on the plane home.
And our film industry won't grow simply by adding people..! What made you come up with that thought?? It requires legitimate films being made of a professional standard, not random calls for unrepresented young girls from an amateur performers' theatre website..! You're right, someone IS abusing this site...so I'm glad he's decided to go home before the culprit was revealed.

A search for 'Arameus' and 'Vampire' comes up with several sites that are to do with a hardcore metallic punk band from the UK called Arameus... so your idea's already been taken, I'm afraid. Maybe you can come up with an alternative film title, like "Salieri and his Were-Wolf gang"...?



I'm glad you are Apologetic, because I was under the impression you were something else that also rhymes...


Cheers
Craig
