Today We Welcome Multiple-Award-Winning Producer/Director

Philippe Mora

Philippe Mora is an internationally-known, multiple-award-winning producer and director.  He has produced dozens of feature films, including "Communion" with Christopher Walken.  And, yes, there will be a "Communion II.  "In fact, Philippe is currently seeking talent for four upcoming feature films!  In addition to being busy with his numerous feature film projects, he is in demand internationally as an entertainment industry expert/icon and professional speaker.  It is quite rare when Mr. Mora is able to speak at our events.  On Saturday, July 28, 2007, however, we are very pleased to be able to announce that Philippe Mora will be our special guest on our weekly ninety-minute TeleSeminar call.  This is an extraordinary opportunity to meet Mr. Mora ... from the comfort of your living room.

If you let us know ahead of time that you will be joining us for the call, we will put your photo and resume on the Show Notes page (the page to which Mr. Mora will be referring).  We suggest that you research this man.  The more you discover, the more impressed you will be ... and the more you will appreciate this opportunity!  Then, during the question and answer portion of the call, ask a good question based on your research.  Mr. Mora will see your photo and resume on line when he answers your question.  After the call is complete, you might want to send him a thank-you card with your photo business card enclosed.  If you would like to potentially work in a Philippe Mora film, this could be a good way to initially open the door.

We hope to have Mr. Mora as an in-person guest at a future Sunday seminar event in the Los Angeles area.  If we can, we will get a commitment for a future in-person appearance from him during the course of the TeleSeminar call.  Once he commits to a specific date, we suggest to all of our readers, no matter where they live, that they make plans to attend that event.

"If an actor were really serious about his or her career, that actor would fly in from anywhere in the world for an opportunity to meet Philippe Mora!"
     

Special note:  Gary J. Levinson, CEO of Hollywood International Pictures has confirmed that he will be our special guest speaker for the August 25 Tele-Seminar Call and our In-Person guest speaker for the actual seminar in Studio City the next day, August 26.  Mark your calendars.  This is an opportunity that rarely presents itself.  Gary is a very busy producer/director and is seldom available to speak at our events.

PLEASE NOTE:  There are a number of people on the call today who did not register ahead of time.  Those who register by midnight the night before a can have their photo, resume, website link, and even a mini-bio on the show notes page (where producers are directed) if they so desire.  IF YOU DID NOT PRE-REGISTER FOR TODAY'S CALL, please be sure to do so for next Saturday's call.  Again, 3:00 PM Pacific US Time.  As this call becomes more and more popular, we may change the access codes, even on a weekly basis.  Also, only those who pre-register for future calls will be eligible to win prizes that we give away during the calls.  So, please register for each call.  Thank you!
PLEASE let your actor friends know about these calls.  We provide them as a free service.  Be sure that your friends register for each call.  rock@HollywoodSuccess.com They should put "Seminar Call" in the subject area.  In the body of the letter, they need to put their name, the city from which they will be calling, and the phrase, "Referred by (your name here)."  They can either attach their photo and resume or include a link to it.  The person who has the most referrals on each call will get a nice prize.  The person who has the most referrals for each month receives a very nice prize.  And everybody who gets a minimum of five referrals on any call gets a gift as well.

Professional Actor/Producer/Author/Casting Director

"Alien Actor" Bill Blair was a special guest on the call and at the live seminar event two weeks ago.  He wrote the book on professionalism for actors  -- literally -- entitled, "The Professional's Talent Handbook."  He has agreed to come back for more calls and seminars!  He is confirmed for the July 29 In-Person Seminar Event.  What a fascinating speaker! 

We will have producer Eugene Mandelcorn as a featured speaker on future calls -- possibly as early as next Saturday.  We'll let you know soon.  Check him out at www.filmartistsnetwork.com .
Congratulations are in order for our friend and APS member Janét Vincent Lee, an amazingly talented lady, who landed a fairly large role in a feature film with ... oh, no; we can't say the name of this number one box-office star until it is officially announced in the trades.  Hmmm.  I suppose we can only say that the feature is shooting in France (her role, at least, with this person we can't name who makes France his home now) and that the star has a connection to a certain attraction at Disneyland and has broken a couple of box office records.  Hopefully, we can break the suspense soon and let you know this actor's name.  Maybe Janét will tell us on today's call ...
Upcoming confirmed speakers:

Donald F. Glut: Late August
(Exact Dates TBA)
Jim Goddard: August
(Exact Dates TBA)

SHOW NOTES

July 28, 2007 TeleSeminar Call:  What an amazing call!  We took advantage of the rare opportunity to talk with producer Philippe Mora for over an hour.  Mr. Mora discussed his past, present, and future film projects.  He talked about why he has been in the headlines recently.  He shared inside information with a couple of famous stars he directed.  And, he gave his e-mail address so that all who joined the call and all who listen to the recording can contact him (click on the i-pod player logo at the top of this page to hear it).  We're not going to put it here in the show notes, because we want you to listen to the call before you e-mail him.

Mr. Mora agreed to speak at an in-person seminar event in Studio City.  His schedule is pretty full, but we do have a commitment.  He will give us at least several day's notice, and he will be joining us in the "near future" for the seminar event.

Congratulations go to Virginia Montero for being the first live listener to e-mail the call's five-word answer.  Virginia won a $100.00 APS gift certificate.  Because Virginia is an APS member, her membership dues just went down by a hundred dollars!  We intend to give away a $100.00 gift certificate each week.  Be sure to join us at least a couple of minutes early on the next Saturday afternoon call!

Cortelious

In addition to being an extraordinary actor, Cortelious is one of the most fascinating people I have ever met.  He has "beyond top secret" status in his "other job."  Knowledge he will never share makes him even more interesting.  I believe he has answers to many of my most intriguing questions.  "Gee, Rock," he will occasionally say, "I don't know.  Of course, if I did know, I couldn't tell you.  And, if I did tell you, I'd have to kill you."  The slight smile on his face tells me there's an underlying truth to his statements.  For certain types of movies, he could be an extraordinary technical advisor --- without giving away any sensitive information. :-)  ¨

Larry Elliott was invited to join the call and the following day's in-person seminar event by the "Alien Actor," Bill Blair.  Thank you, Larry, for taking advantage of a gift and a wonderful opportunity.¨

Michael
Gavino

As a boy in Maryland, Michael Gavino used to walk through the woods dreaming of all sorts of fanciful stories. He would often dream of being different characters in those stories. Little did he know that dreaming would lead to a lifetime of acting. After leaving Maryland, Michael attended Florida Atlantic University where he excelled at academics and played for FAU's NCAA intercollegiate baseball team. After earning his Bachelor and Master's of Arts from FAU, Michael pursued his artistic dream. He continued his studies by attending The New York Film Academy and studying under several prestigious private teachers. He also started to act. As an actor, Michael has been in over 30 films and played the lead in 16. Among the films he has starred in are: Detour to Hell, Reaping the Girl, The Devil and the Girl, Etiquette of Dating, The Unknown Hero, Yes You Do, Upside Down Dan, Murder by the Book, Night of the Escorts, I Wish I was a Fish, Vietnam Worm, Mary's Secret, Tutorial 666, Urban Shootout, Caught Stealin’, and The Encounter. Michael is happy for all he has achieved and has a simple formula for success -- acting + hard work = happiness. Michael is a successful business man who has created several successful businesses.  His success is assured in the film and television industry as well, because he is approaching the acting business as a business.  He will also be on the production side of the industry in the near future, producing his own feature films ...¨

Tom
Schroeder

TOM SCHROEDER from Seattle, WA.

I plan to get a lot of information from this teleconference before I come down to the LA area. I would like to attend one of the events in person in the very near future or see any of the producers and casting directors on an appointment basis. I can fly weekly from Seattle with very little expense, so it would be easy to arrange a time to meet with all of you (if possible) as I intend to become an actor full time.  Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to participate in the conference. ¨
