The links below are the people, schools and services that have made all the difference to me. 

Dissave Pictures is where you find Rory Dean and his wife Malissa.  He directed me in their production of "Once Beautiful Past" Which he wrote as well.

He also produces my "Actors Reel"!  He is the man to see if you need one put together. Or a director for your film!

Now, if you need photos? See Malissa. Her fees are good and and her talent is worth every dime.

Kelly Hobby is a story board artist and animator. She can do your whole project. "the whole project."  

San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking is a wonderful place. Not only do they have a film school, they also have acting classes and it is at this place where you find Warren David Keith, formally of A.C.T.  David is one of the best in San Francisco, and I cannot recommend him enough. plus there is the added benefit of being able to audition for, and work with all the students shooting film with the blessing of SAG.

T.V.I. (Talent Ventures Inc.) Is very cool. Here is where you find "Mark Teschner's Master Scene Study Class." A vary, vary good class that is based around one premise. "It's about the work." Mark is one of best. Any one at any level could learn lots form him.  

Along with TVI's ongoing schedule they also offer an "Actors Intensive!" This is a five day event where you work with Casting Directors, Agents and other Industry Pro's. It's not cheep but if you really want to get your feet on the ground. This is a good start. It sure helped me.  

The Actors Creative Workshop, Here is where I started studying with “Jeffery Brook. He offers a class on Auditioning for Film and TV. I have taken it more than once and plan to take it over again. Why? After I won the audition for Walter Tennis in All About Evil. When I arrived on set.. I was complemented several times about how great my audition was! Enough said?

Also, The Actors Casting Workshop is held here too. You have to audition for the group, but once your in your in. You can work with a Casting Director every week! It’s fantastic.

THE ACTORS NETWORK.  Power is information. TAN is were you get that.  TAN is devoted to the "business" side of the business.

Actors support groups, lectures, and classes on how to market yourself, the list goes on and on.  Their library is full of books and all the trades.

I could spend all day just in the library. And then there is the "Book" the manual.  It is my bible.  It has info on casting agents, managers, agents and production companies, and more! Getting a hold of the TAN Manual alone is worth the cost of joining. Remember...It's tax deductible!     

ED HOOKS ,is now based in Chicago, but offers lectures and workshops in other cities.

I studied with Ed for well over a year maybe longer when I returned to the business in the 90’s. Although I had been acting for years it was Ed Hooks who gave it and made it “craft.” All I can say is “the guy is great!”
