NY: Godzilla

Question:

– -Would you share that list with us or not?  If not, I understand. … –He does principal as well as extras casting.  There are HUNDREDS of NYC –casting contacts that you can mail to directly and avoid paying –commission. We will be doing a mailing within the next few days. Ross Reports has many of them. Ross Reports can be bought in the news stand in the lobby of 1515 Broadway where SAG is. All of them however (three hundred) are in the lists that Imagemaker (Film Center Building, 630 9 Avenue #309, between 44-45 Street) sells. There are casting directors in that same building such as Maria Greco. But I don’t know how much casting Maria Greco really does. TO ALL —– Speaking of SAG;  Rita and I expect to be at the SAG party next week where there will be food and entertainment. There are fliers available at the SAG office. Look for us.                                 * * * * * [This message was posted to the ACTING-L mailing list and relayed to this newsgroup.  You may followup to the newsgroup or, if you are a  member of ACTING-L,  reply  to  the  list.   For  more  information  send E-mail to

- Except I didn’t have to worry about it since I ’snuck’ into yours and did -indeed wash my hands of all the day’s… messes.  Now, if you’d known, -would you have told on me? Rita and I saw you, remember you passed near our table. – -A girl I was placed with said she tried to use it, a SAG member told her -she better leave, told the SAG rep, or some kind of boss person who then -made an announcement to your room saying "NON-SAG CANNOT,…." That would have been a PA (production assistant). A gentleman with a little bit of an accent who was in your tent was the casting director; Ricardo Bertoni. His office hired us directly, so we didn’t have to pay a commission. He does principal as well as extras casting.  There are HUNDREDS of NYC casting contacts that you can mail to directly and avoid paying commission.

When I say I ran to the right, I mean further then that. I ran right, past the statue, and I did not go up the stairs. I ran to where the flatbed truck for the crane was. I had looked up to see where the rain maker reach extended and I ran so far to the right that the rain couldn’t touch me. – -Union extras get something like $220/day. – -WOAH!  Ray, don’t you guys get the $99/day and then they add smoke pay, -water, etc.?! $99.00 is the base in NYC for film. After our wet pay, smoke pay, etc. for first day we figured $265.00 each. Second day probably around $235.00 each. For commercials base is $230 or $240. Rita worked two hours in a commercial in January and got $290.00 including extras such as smoke and wardrobe fee.
