Cannot be repeated too often-on either side of the Atlantic:
a)It's slow at the moment
b)It's the industry, not you
c) If there is something healthy that brings you joy, helps you stay active, or just gets your laundry done, now is a good time to do it.
Thank you danielle Eskinazi Casting CCDA

TV is a tough industry to break into, especially at the moment. We recently saw a great thread on how to make contacts and widen your network on here from emma luffingham (Head of Development World Productions) and asked her to expand on it for our blog. Check out her great, pragmatic advice…

'We have a huge responsibility, the press, our community, and the wider mainstream world of theatre and everything, is to get the language right because it's discriminating, demeaning and awful.'

Jenny Sealey takes a moment to respond to yesterday's Daily Mail article.
