Should I reapply or try somewhere else?

Hi. A few months ago I applied to Uarts for acting and I was rejected. My grades are great and my audition went well (so I thought). They obviously don’t give you any reasons why but I think it is because I did not have much acting experience. Is it worth it...

Website works on desktop but gets 404 on mobile

Posting here because the forum for the dreaded Weebly is a little dead. I was hired to do a redesign of an actor's website (on Weebly which I wouldn't have chosen but it's what it's) and it's working perfectly on desktop and mobile but is getting 404 on...

I want to become a child actor, but don't want to miss too much school or school sports.

I want to become a child actor. I live in Montana. Want to act for Netflix. Don't know how it'll affect my life. I also don't want people to be jealous of me. I have friends and I would call myself pretty athletic. How would acting affect my life?

I don't know how to overcome the nepotism in the LA theatre/film industry

I grew up in the South in an area where no one ever left their hometown, and as a result went to my BFA program and MFA programs without any real connections (other than to the acting professors I worked under). Despite being told by my mentors I'm just as...

Should I spend all my time trying to become an actor?

I understand that very few people make a living as an actor. I looked it up and sources say only 2% of actors actually make a living. My goal is to make a living off of acting. I’m not saying I want to be the next tom cruise, but I do want to be able to...

Is acting even a realistic goal for me?

I have always been interested in films, and have wanted to be an actor since I was younger (9 or 10 y/o) and I’m 16 now I just feel like the amount of people who want to be actors is so insane there is no chance I can actually do it.

Filmmaker - Question about Acting contract

I've found myself in a bit of a conundrum. For my previous shorts I'd get in touch with actors directly, sign a contract, shoot the whole thing, then pay them at the end. Now, for an upcoming project with a bit of higher budget, that shoots in 2 months, I've...
