 Actors Resources

Callback Studios started because I really believed that we could offer a high quality service to my fellow actors and filmmakers, and do it in a way that takes out the mystery and frustration behind the process. I’ve been at it a few years now, both behind and in front of the camera, and know that it can be confusing and daunting to navigate the business. 

So, I’ve tried and put together a list of resources I thought you might find helpful, and have written a few blogs over the years that (hopefully) answer some common questions.

Hope this helps you. If you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer at our shoot, or if you DM me Instagram or Facebook.
