chore. With the right tools you can achieve almost anything on the

dealing with professional actors. You can use my years of
experience to your advantage right now! You can start pushing your
talent in the right direction without hours of study and torment.
An actor doesn't have to ruin your movie or play. I will help you
keep control of your set from day one.
My eBook will give you the tools necessary to fight the five
"wars" that every director must fight and win to have any kind of
influence over their actors:
| |
War #1: Scriptwriting
You must write a script that actors will respect.
War #2: Search
You must select your stars from a slushpile of wannabes.
War #3: Audition
You must make good first impressions and select actors
who will take you and your script seriously.
War #4: Rehearsal
The battle here is the most complex. Win authority over your
vision or your actors will sink your ship!
War #5: Production
Perhaps the greatest battle you fight is on the set. If you
cannot maintain control here all the work you've
managed so far is for nothing!

Do not
run an audition or rehearsal without these forms!
As a FREE
bonus, when you order my eBook you will also receive two free forms
that you can print out and use on a real production! The first is
for all your auditions, to help keep you organized and sane. The

Hello, my name
is David Horatio. I wrote this book out after sorting through my
experiences as both an artist and filmmaker. My films have been shown across the globe, from New York to Tokyo. I am a graduate from
New York University's famous Tisch School of the Arts. I hold a BFA
with Honors in Film Production. I've had actors that love me; I've
had actors that walk out on me. I know what to expect when you're
just starting out. My eBook will give you easy to follow examples
of how to choose the right actor for your film or theater show and
make sure they don't suddenly quit. I know how to keep actors. I
know how to work under limited budgets and limited resources.
Whether you think you are just starting out or think you are a hot
shot, I can help you improve your approach with actors. I don't use
any mystical, academic, hard to grasp system. I use common sense
tools that are effective, fast, and easy to remember. My book draws
from life examples and is intended to help anyone who has ever been
frustrated with an actor either because of their conceited attitude
or their lack of insight. I'm on your side. I know the obstacles
you face. If you've never done a casting session, rehearsal, or
production, then my eBook should be one of the first things you
read. You don't have to find out things the hard way. You don't
have to go it alone.
