Hey guys,
I'm hoping this is still free-for all Wednesdays (If its not I'm so, so sorry) I love this fandom because its mostly made up of women who are very supportive of each other and everyone shares their thoughts in an honest and non-judgemental way (most of the time).
I am working on a project that is very dear to me. I am an actress, born and raised in NY city. I have been acting for 12 years now. I didn't start out extremely young, in fact I was in my late 20's, when I finally got the courage to pursue acting. After dealing with insecurity issues and leaving a bad marriage, I finally decided to begin living my life to the fullest and go after my dream.
According to most, at the time, I should have given up because it takes years and years to be noticed and blah, blah, blah. I have had some mildstones in my career so I'm glad I didn't listen but as I have gotten older, I've noticed fewer and fewer parts are written for women over 35. So I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I don't want to explain too much because its all on the video that is attached to the link. I'm reaching out because I am trying something new and I know how supportive this group is. I am producing a show in Sept that I will be starring in. I have to raise a certain amount of money in 52 days to make this show happen. If I don't reach my goal in 52 days I don't get any of it and I have to start from scratch again.
I am forwarding this link to all of you in the hopes that you could give me some feedback. If you choose to donate then that is amazing but I know everyone is going through tough times and I don't expect it. What would really help me is if you can give me suggestions on how to better promote this and get it out there. I have to create my own opportunities and this is how it begins. Thanks for reading and I really hope I haven't broken any rules with this campfire.
Please click on the link, view the video and send me your suggestions. I would love to hear from you!!
