The move will be a strenuous one, due to the cast and crew
having to make a possible move to Vancouver, Canada. The move is rumored to be taking place because of the tax incentives offered by Canada, which will make the cost of production less in comparison to the more expensive cost when filming in Los Angeles, California.

BREAKING DOWN THE NUMBERS: NEW YORK’S TV & FILM TAX CREDITS STILL PAYING OUT
It wasn’t so long ago that you had Canadian cities subbing in for New York City in the movies. Then came the years of Katherine Oliver under Mayor Bloomberg, and of New York State’s handsome tax credit, which encouraged production and helped make the Big Apple
competitive with California for the new Hollywood boom.
As the film industry fumbles, hatching formal “diversity initiatives” to shake up its ranks, how is Broadway already

JOANNA COLBERT AND ANNIE BURGSTEDE PRESENT TRUST: WHAT MAKES AN ACTOR GET THE PART?
What is that indescribable je ne sais quoi that the “it” person has? There is one thing that sets these individuals apart from the pack and it is TRUST. It is someone who walks into the room trusting themselves – trusting their choices, trusting they are enough,
and trusting that they deserve to be there.
If you forget a line, or trip over your words, fear will set in even stronger which will take the whole process up another level
meaning you are more likely to forget again or be unable to get your words out. We need to make sure we don’t get into this cycle in the first place! Here’s how.
Acting is about connecting with a character, being affected by other characters and the world, creating moments that capture what the character is thinking and
feeling and making it all real. Once all of the above is accomplished, then the work of building a film performance begins.
