Lots of potential oportunites in acting

Well, the opportunities are there, but there is a lot of of competition as well.

@JamesHxstatic Okay, I won't hold my breath, but I will hold my autograph book just in case you make the big time!

Why of course, but don't don't hold your breath.

@moffittjc Talk about a late start!

@JamesHxstatic FB is very good to find groups of interest.

It is great and there are several FB acting groups in Portland where I can find out about these things.

@JudyEv Oh how dreadful that this happens over and over, so often that I said to Anne tonight that I wondered in what city was the next crazy person plotting the next one. One of the first happened in 1998 in the city next door to us when Kip Kinkel killed his parents and shot up Thurston High School, killing two more and wounding 25.

Hmmm, had not thought about that.

@JamesHxstatic Well, if the accent refuses to be dropped don't start carrying a violin case around as well! I was going to write 'you might get yourself shot' but I feel that is a very bad joke at the moment. So terrible what happened in Florida.

Here is what Wikipedia says, better than my answer: An independent film, independent movie, indie film or indie movie is a feature film that is produced outside the major film studio system, in addition to being produced and distributed by independent entertainment companies. Independent films are sometimes distinguishable by their content and style and the way in which the filmmakers' personal artistic vision is realized. Usually, but not always, independent films are made with considerably lower budgets than major studio movies.[1][2] Generally, the marketing of independent films is characterized by limited release, but can also have major marketing campaigns and a wide release. Independent films are often screened at local, national, or international film festivals before distribution (theatrical or retail release). An independent film production can rival a mainstream film production if it has the necessary funding and distribution.

@db20747 Good luck with your film!

@JamesHxstatic thank you Much for that excellent info!! I see a lot of terms I can get familiar with that will help me in hopefully making mine!

Hey, that's great line!

@JamesHxstatic Thanks James! I envy your hobby What a fun way to earn some income

@JamesHxstatic.......Thank goodness. LOL

Yes it is, keeps me off the streets.

@JamesHxstatic your right there.

I keep trying and having fun too. Thanks @amadeo! By the way, the director of the film Stars in His Eyes is a gay friend and some of the characters are as well. They outsmart the Mafia.

Thank you! No real expectations for "all," but that would be fantastic.

@JamesHxstatic I bet you are.

I am really enjoying pursuing those roles.

Yes, it has been pretty good lately. I think I have four IMDB credits now.

Thanks Scott!

Thanks @FayeHazel!

It really is always fun.

Yes, not always, but getting better.
