Every month I work with actors all over the planet – true story! I’ve got clients in Europe, LA, Australia, London, up north, and have even worked with peeps as far away as Malaysia (well okay that’s nearly as far away from London as Australia but not quite).

Happy birthday to us! This week B.A.B.E. turned 8 years old and we are thrilled to bits.

And of course I’ll make sure they are only the most awesome of offers….like when Shooting People offer 50% off their annual membership, which is AH-MAZING.

For the last six years I’ve been running the UK Actors Tweetup, alongside a bunch of incredible folk. And now the time is here for our first ever short film festival, AKA TWEETFEST.
