WHEN TO SAY NO: NAVIGATING POLITICS, ETHICS
AND ARTISTRY
Actors, and especially those that are new to the industry or lack connections, are often counseled to say yes to everything.

But in acting, as in any career, there is a time to say
“no.”

UPCOMING EVENTS
UCLA FESTIVAL OF PRESERVATION TOUR
June 7 –
21
The UCLA Film & Television Archive in Southern California is a world leader in the preservation of motion picture heritage. The Archive’s important work is showcased in its biennial UCLA Festival of Preservation, featuring glorious new 35mm restorations of important classics, nearly-lost masterworks,
neglected treasures, and rediscovered rarities spanning more than a century of film history in the United States and elsewhere.
At the CRS we cast brand new scripts on the spot and watch them fly in front of a live audience. Local musicians are also invited to share
their work-in-progress in the “unplugged” musical segment of the evening. Every live reading ends with a party in the Lounge where you can meet up with other artists over a cold beer. The CRS is the place for Vancouver’s artists to meet one another, share their work, and create more.
