New to the Gold Coast! Help!

mackidee19 | 05/02/2010 - 12:49

Hi Guys & Gals! I'm wondering if you can help me!

I'm new to the Gold Coast and am looking to find my way into the film and T.V industry here. I've been working in Perth, W.A. for the past year as a Casting Assistant & Actor.

I would like to involve myself in any networking functions around the area, and i'd also like to know a little bit about the Actors Agents on the Gold Coast, good and bad feedback as I haven't dealt much with Agents over here.

Any info you could give me would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, and have a fabulous day!

Hey Jeff,
Thanks for that. I've been looking into Nebula. Do you know anything about them or can you recommend another??

Cheers,
Danielle

Being located in WA, I have very little knowledge of QLD Agencies. Below is a link to the Alliance (MEAA) list of Agencies for QLD. You could start with these and note the disclaimer at the top of the document very carefully.

Doing a variety of Google Searches for Nebula Agencies brings up not a single entry of negative feedback. I even got some actor profiles on various sites stating their agent as Nebula Agencies.

My advice, find out what you can about Nebula's policies by talking to them directly, then compare with others on the QLD List. Also, do a search on the net for the different agencies specifically for key words like "dodgy", "bad" and so forth, and then another for just the agency itself. See what comes up. Use this as your guide on who to talk to first.

Once done, you should have enough to make an educated decision on who to go with.

Hiya Jessi,
I've just joined Nebula Agencies They're located in Surfers. Have a look on their website. www.nebulaagencies.com.au
I haven't had any auditions through yet but have only been with them for 2 weeks and am still waiting on my headshots so hopefully things will pick up soon.

Best Wishes,
Danielle
