Scams...
Tue, 25 June 2002, 07:04 pmThis may sound like I'm paranoid. It may have happened before.
I found out about this audition for a feature film. It was reported on in a local rag, giving a phone number to call for more information about getting a part. I rang the number, the bloke that's directing the film said that I had to send a letter to a certain address requesting a copy of the script and my documenting previous experience... as well as $20 for the cost of the script.
It's not a nice thought that in today's society that we are sometimes a little hasty in our judgements, but the people I have spoken to about this have given me a piece of their mind... and they are, needless to say, a little sceptic. I'd prefer to give the benefit of the doubt, though...

Hmm... frankly, I'd be tempted to run screaming in the opposite direction of anything that asked me to fork out $20 for a copy of a script for an audition I might not be cast in.
Mind you, it's an interesting idea for future fundraising activities for local clubs... :-p
