The film world can get you tangled up. But it doesn't have to bring you down. Pursing a career in Hollywood has led me to some great decisions and opportunities, and quite a few mistakes. How do you get an agent? What makes a good headshot? Where should I live? How can I land a role? Heck, how can I even get an audition? How do I pay my bills while pursuing my dreams? What can I do right now to help make them happen? Stuck on a Ferris Wheel will answer all those questions and more, so let's ride!
In her first book, Abbie Cobb offers play-by-play instructions for being a working actor in LA. Acting is a business, and she explains how to market yourself, pay the bills, and get into SAG, while maintaining your personal values. Her advice comes from her own ups and downs in the film industry; she isn't shy about admitting her mistakes and what you can learn from them! Abbie offers practical advice that will boost your confidence and audition skills, and offer encouragement for navigating those moral gray areas in Hollywood.
