Arizona's Community of Talents (A.C.T.) aka GreatTalents.net

Alexandria — Mon, 11 May 2009 14:56:08 GMT

GreatTalents.com is headquartered in Arizona and was originally founded in 2006 as GreatTalents.net - Arizona Community of Talents (A.C.T.). As a community, we provide FREE information to various talents and businesses in the industry to help enhance their career and/or business. We host networking meetings and social mixers. Community leaders are invited to share their expertise to help guide talents and the industry. Just to name a few of our past contributors and guest speakers: Elayne Stein, Faith Hibbs-Clark, C.S.A., Matt Englehart of Ford Robert Black Agency, Don Livesay, AZ SAG Director, and Linda Waymire, owner of Matlin Studio. As a community, we have given out over $2,000 of scholarships. We have also assisted and co-sponsored the Almost Famous Film Festival (A3F). At the request of our members wanting more features online, GreatTalents.com was created.

Here is what some of our community leaders are saying:

"This past year, the Almost Famous Film Festival celebrated its 5th Anniversary with several film challenges, kick-off parties and mixers. GreatTalents served an integral part of our success by helping bring actors, actresses and professionals from around the community to our events. GreatTalents is a respected organization with strong leadership as they help bridge the gap between filmmakers, cast and crew members in the valley." -- Jae Staats, Executive Director, Almost Famous Film Festival

“GreatTalents.com is a great networking resource to help the aspiring or seasoned actor connect with other legitimate industry professionals to either further their careers or simply garner some advice. I encourage all of my actors to join this online community.” -- Matt Englehart, Head of On-Camera, FORD/Robert Black Agency, AZ

“Arizona is indeed fortunate to have an organization like Great Talents here in the Valley. This wonderful, versatile, very enthusiastic group of actors, producers, filmmakers, and all those great people associated with the entertainment industry so unselfishly offer their services and savvy to their fellows. The many scholarships they offer are cherished, with wonderful, talented Alexandria Ballesteros and Scott Rupp at its forefront, Great Talents continues to be Arizona’s unselfish leader in the sharing of the Biz of the Biz to all.” -- Elayne Stein, Commercial and Dialect Coach

Our community involvement and activities will continue to grow. We encourage you to be active in your community…our community to better enhance the entertainment industry. Thank you for being a member of GreatTalents.com and we look forward to seeing you at our next event.
