SEPTEMBER 13, 2003  

Mears Center* (new location)

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO ASK BUT WERE TOO AFRAID!  Talent agent, Kim Dorr and Casting Director, Chuck McCollum will help diffuse some of the mystery and misunderstandings actors continually face in their careers.   This open forum will help enpower you by eliminating the intimidation factor that actors often feel when working with agents and CDs.  Sample topics:

  • Mistakes actors repeat that keep them from having a career (ways to avoid sabotaging your career) 
  • How to market yourself
  • What is the process from submission to booking? 
  • Actors feel out of control and don't know what is happening on their behalf.  What should they do/not do?

KIM DORR – Has worked in entertainment for 19 years. She was the Head of Casting for The Arthur Company from 1985 to 1993. She became a talent agent in September of ’93, when she was asked to run the Kids and Young Adults Division of Bobby Ball Agency. As this division evolved, Kim’s aptitude for working with adult talent lead to the establishment of the TV/Film Department at BBA. Last year, due to the success and growth of this department, Kim launched Defining Artists, a breakaway boutique division of BBA. Kim came to her faith in Christ in March of 1993. She has completed the M. Div. degree at Fuller Seminary and is certified ready to be ordained in the PCUSA. She hopes to continue working in both entertainment and ministry.
 
CHUCK MCCULLOM – Has been a casting associate in Los Angeles for four seasons. Shows that he has helped cast include: Judging Amy, The Guardian, and Six Feet Under (the pilot). Short films include Maple and Lock Her Room. He is currently casting Joan of Arcadia with Vicki Rosenberg. Chuck came to Christ on September 6, 1998 and has been committed to his faith ever since.
