HOW MANY HOURS OF INFORMATION ARE INCLUDED ON THE FOUR DVDs ?
The Actor's Journey for Kids DVD Set is a complete "professional" course. There are five hours of critical information presented on five DVDs. These DVDs are not about craft. They are not about acting. These DVDs are strictly devoted to presenting, learning and understanding the unique and mandatory "non-performance" business skills necessary to launch a career and succeed in the the industry. Each DVD is approximately 75 minutes long.


WHAT MAKES THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY PROJECT AND “THE ACTOR’S JOURNEY for KIDS” DVD SET SO REVOLUTIONARY ?
Although the movie industry is over one hundred years old, the specific information related to the business side of the industry - or the essential "non-performance" skills - have never been made available to the general public before in a complete and comprehensive course.

Additionally, most of the information presented on the Internet and related to child and teen actors is delivered by individuals who have never worked in the industry before or function on the periphery of the business. The information presented by THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY PROJECT is delivered by established and prominent INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS. THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY PROJECT brought together over 100 highly successful members of the entertainment industry. These pros - on average - have over twenty-five years of hard-earned experience behind them. They have come together to illuminate every aspect of child and teen actor's involvement in the entertainment industry. These pros are your insurance that the information you are receiving is quality, comprehensive - and cutting edge.


WHO ARE THE INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT AND APPEAR ON-SCREEN ON THE FOUR DVDs ?
Each industry veteran who appears on-screen was carefully selected because they possessed the kind of information, wisdom and dedication that only years and years of hard-earned experience can bring. These are pros with substantial CREDIT LISTS.


HOW ARE “THE ACTOR’S JOURNEY for KIDS” DVDs DIFFERENT FROM OTHER DVDs, VIDEOS, & BOOKS OFFERED ON OTHER WEBSITES ?
In a word: professionalism. We invite you to check-out as many websites offering information and advice as you possibly can – then ask yourself one question – Who are these people? We don’t know either.

The Actor’s Journey Project is about presenting information from trusted industry professionals – not one, but over 100 of them. These are pros who have been there - done that. The essential "non-performance" skills - or the business side of the industry - cannot be taught by individuals on the fringes of the industry! Why? Because unless that individual has spent years, if not decades, in the trenches of the industry gaining first-hand knowledge and experience - they are not equipped to impart the type of knowledge that you and your child or teen need to succeed.


IS THERE A LIST OF THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY VETERANS AND PROFESSIONALS APPEARING IN THE DVDs ?
Yes. Please go to the web page titled: INDUSTRY VETERANS – or just click the Link.


WILL WATCHING THESE DVD’s SAVE ME TIME ?
Yes. The traditional way of learning the business is through the time consuming process of trial and error. Assuming parents pursue a career for their child or teen on a daily basis - it could take 5 to 10 years to learn all the information presented on these DVDs. With the information as presented in “The Actor's Journey for Kids” DVD Set, parents can streamline this process to five hours.


WILL THESE DVDs SAVE ME MONEY ?
Yes. Launching an acting career - whether child, teen or adult is not without costs. However, the true professional knows WHAT to spend money on and WHEN to spend it. Additionally, there are individuals and companies out there that are dedicated to exploiting your lack of knowledge about the business. These individuals and companies range from what we classify as gray areas (legitimate – though not inexpensive opportunities) to scams to outright criminal activity. The Actor’s Journey for Kids DVDs dedicates an entire segment to these unethical activities. Parents will be fully informed as to WHO to give their hard earned dollars to. We want every dollar spent – spent on useful tools, industry compliant photos, meaningful training and career advancing activities. Don’t become a victim!


TAX-DEDUCTIBLE BUSINESS EXPENSE FOR CHILD & TEEN ACTORS -

If you are seeking to become a professional child or teen actor, the entire cost of the "THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY for KIDS" - FIVE VOLUME DVD SET may be ZERO!

"The Actor's Journey for Kids" DVD Set is a business and educational tool for Child and Teen Actors - and as such, it may be a legitimate Tax-Deductible Business Expense.
Parents - please consult your - or your child or teen's - tax advisor.


MY CHILD OR TEEN JUST WANTS TO ACT AND PERFORM - WHY IS IT EVEN NECESSARY TO LEARN THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THE INDUSTRY ?
This comes as a surprise to all actors – but the real work of any actor (of any age) is finding opportunities to work. When an actor is up on stage or in front of a camera – that is his or her reward for all the hard work they did to get that job! Trust us on this one: without a complete understanding of the business side of the industry, you won’t know what to do first – let alone find work!


DO WE NEED TO MOVE TO HOLLYWOOD TO LAUNCH MY CHILD or TEEN’S CAREER - AND TO SEEK WORK ?
No. That is one of they myths that is perpetuated about the entertainment industry. The Movie and TV industry has become more and more decentralized over the years. The Screen Actor’s Guild (the parent union for all professional actors) maintains offices in over thirty cities around the USA. These offices exist because there is a permanent base of actors living and working those cities. It is advisable for all actors to start locally. There is much less competition. After you have launched your career and have a fairly sophisticated demo reel of your work to show – then you may want to test the waters in Los Angeles and Hollywood.

THE ECONOMY SEEMS TO BE IN SHAMBLES - IS NOW A GOOD TIME TO ATTEMPT TO LAUNCH A CAREER AS A CHILD or TEEN ACTOR IN THE MOVIE AND TELEVISION INDUSTRIES ?
Surprisingly, the Entertainment Industry not only thrives during hard times - it actually - historically speaking - flourishes. During the Great Depression of the 1930s - the entertainment industry experienced one of its largest growth periods and prospered - as did those involved in the industry! During the economic turndown of the early 1990s - the entertainment industry grew by 20%. During the economically depressed years following the September 11, 2001 attack - the entertainment industry - grew by an astounding 50%.

RIGHT NOW is prime time for anyone contemplating a career in the entertainment industry. The motion picture and television industries are undergoing another period of growth and expansion as both areas struggle to keep up with demands for content by the networks and theater chains. Additionally, new opportunities and demands for new media content by the Internet could be limitless. The work is there for Child and Teen Actors. The question is - are you and your Child or Teen prepared to take advantage of this
situation?
