SHOW NOTES

August 4, 2007 TeleSeminar Call: APS President Rock Riddle introduced the call with these words: 

"Welcome to HOLLYWOOD SUCCESS!  This is TeleSeminar Event #6 for August 4, 2007 Show Notes for today’s TeleSeminar call and for all additional calls are available online at HollywoodSuccess.com.  The best way to utilize these TeleSeminar Events is to join us live every week. You can interact with, and ask questions of, our professional entertainment industry guests. You can even have your photo and resume on the "Show Notes" page if you let us know ahead of time that you’ll be joining us for the call.

"This series of TeleSeminar calls is being marketed currently to hundreds of producers. Eventually, these TeleSeminar events will be brought to the attention of thousands of producers. Please remember, producers hire and fire everyone in the film and television business. Whether they are guests speaking on the calls or whether they are simply listening to on-line recordings of previous calls, the producers are looking at the Show Notes pages. Actors, you might want to have your information on the Show Notes pages of future calls for those thousands of producers to see. This is another free service from APS Entertainment, Hollywood Success, and me. My name is Rock Riddle. I am your host for this series of TeleSeminar Calls. I am also President of the organization that is sponsoring and producing these events for you. The organization is APS Entertainment and, of course, HollywoodSuccess.com.

"For over 30 years, APS Entertainment has been in the business of marketing, promoting, providing networking opportunities, and empowering professionals in the entertainment industry – both in front of and behind the camera. We have produced 17 cable television shows, one of which was nominated for a Cable Ace Award, and we have shot nine days of footage for the opening and closing of our upcoming feature film, the working title of which is "When Wrestling Was Real." APS Entertainment has a unique mission statement. In short, our goal is to empower and enable serious, passionate entertainment industry professionals to achieve their dreams ... and go beyond. By the way, if there is anyone on this call who is thinking, "I’m just a struggling actor; I’m not an entertainment industry professional," allow me to please correct you. Professionalism is much more of an attitude than a long list of credits. So, for everyone who has joined us live on this call and for everyone who is listening afterward to the recording: We are here to empower YOU. We are here to share insight and inside information with you that will greatly accelerate your success. We are here to help make your dreams come true. But, before we can make your dreams come true, we need to ask you to do three things.

1) Determine exactly what your dreams are concerning the film and television industry.
2) Dream bigger.
3) Realize that your dreams are attainable: Yes, you can have it all!

"In an industry where most information is misinformation, we are here to give you truth – blatantly and even brutally honest truth. Of course, from your point of view, our truths, even though based on actual professional experience, are simply opinions. You will hear from highly opinionated professionals today ... including me. I will have the opportunity and the honor to be able to introduce our special guests on today’s call. I will be able to share with you some of their background and accomplishments. When you know the experience of the speakers, their credibility will increase and their "opinions" will probably mean more to you.

"Because I am your host for today’s event, I have no one to introduce me. Therefore, I can either introduce myself at this time and share with you a little of my professional background ... or we can ask for a volunteer from the audience. Please allow me to explain. At the top of the Show Notes page on the HollywoodSuccess.com website, there is a link to the 13-page booklet that we are using for this and subsequent calls. Hopefully, everyone on the call has either downloaded and printed the booklet or is displaying it on their computer monitors. If you have not already done so, go to HollywoodSuccess.com. Scroll down slightly and click on "Show Notes & 13-Page Booklet Here." That will take you to the Show Notes Page where you can get the booklet.

About the author: Rock Riddle, your Master of Ceremonies at the seminar events, has over a quarter of a century and more than 125,000 hours' professional experience in the film and television industry. His background includes: President of APS Entertainment, of course, as well as: SAG Franchised Talent Agent and Agency Co-Owner, Personal Manager, Producer, Casting Director, Stunt Person, Talk Show Host, Film and Television Actor, and Amazon.com Best-Selling, Award-Winning Author ("How to Become a Magnet to Hollywood Success").

His greatest talents include (1) his mastery in the marketing of entertainment industry professionals and (2) his amazing ability to motivate, inspire, and teach actors how to achieve and go beyond their dreams.

On April 21, 2007, Rock was presented with the prestigious Reel Honoree Award, an award which is presented once a year to an individual who has made a difference in the entertainment industry. Past recipients of this award include Sylvester Stallone, Charles Bronson, David Carradine, Robert Conrad, Kirk Douglas, Cesar Romero, Mickey Rooney and others. Rock has dedicated the majority of his life to helping people achieve and live their dreams in the entertainment industry, and he is very proud of this honor.

"Special note: If you have questions that do not get answered on today’s call, please feel free to e-mail them to me for next week’s call. I get hundreds of e-mails everyday, so please put the words, "SEMINAR CALL QUESTION" in the subject line. My e-mail address is rock@hollywoodsuccess.com.

"Today’s special guests include Lisa Mueller and Melody Jensen. There are additional producers who are listening. If we have time, we’ll bring them on towards the end of the call. So, I will make the announcement now: If there are additional producers on the call who would like to join us during the last 10 or 15 minutes for the question and answer session, please feel free to announce yourself at that time and join us.

Lisa Mueller, Executive Director of Celebrity Entertainment Corporation, joined the call early. 

Rock informed the listeners of the new contest (see above) and how you can double or triple your results!

Lisa Mueller was introduced.  Those on the call were reminded that they could click Lisa's photo or name at the top left of this page to visit her website.

Lisa briefly described her not-for-profit corporation.  She talked about networking.  She mentioned an upcoming once-a-year major convention that will feature some major entertainment industry people.  "Take advantage of us.  We need volunteers at the convention," she said.

The importance of joining these free TeleSeminar calls was mentioned.  The informal alliance between Celebrity Entertainment and APS Entertainment opens hundreds of doors for actors.

Lisa discussed her connection to Star Trek and some of the major Star Trek stars with whom she works. 

She also discussed her Spirit Haven Center project.  She was told it would take ten years to get this 9-figure budgeted project off the ground.  It took her one year.

Lisa talked about her upcoming PSA's and additional upcoming projects.  Rather than listing the information in the show notes, we'd like to suggest that you listen to the call and hear it directly from the lips of Ms. Mueller.  You'll see why the ethnicity and the age of actors being considered is unimportant.  You can submit directly to actors@celebrityentertainment.org.

Rock talked of his plans to re-incorporate APS/Hollywood Success as a not-for-profit corporation.  Lisa discussed Celebrity Entertainment's upcoming projects.

Melody Jensen was introduced.  She spoke about her production company and her 35-year old international image business.  She discussed her upcoming projects.

Melody's upcoming feature films were discussed.  All APS actors and all actors on the call (including those listening to the recording over the internet) were invited to her upcoming November 3, 2007 Red Carpet Event in Newport Beach, California.  A few of Melody's celebrity actor/producer friends were discussed.

The psychology of color.  Dress for Success.  ... Wow.  Great information.

And, lots more.  Do yourself a favor and listen to the recording.  And, please join us live next week!

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. :-) 


Tasha

Hi there,

I want to RSVP for the teleconference this Saturday - I am attaching a headshot and resume to be put on the 'show notes'.  I have been to your meetings before, a couple years ago, and follow through your newsletter...

Hope you are well!

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.
