Jesse Malinowski sits down with actress, director, and Cosmic Film Co founder Amanda Fallon Smith — a former Miss Pennsylvania who told her entire family not to show up when she competed, then won with no one in the crowd, and later accidentally became a vertical film director when her hired director dropped out last minute on her very first project. Amanda breaks down the $27 billion vertical film industry, what it really takes to run a 7-day film bootcamp, why film acting is technically harder than theater, and how Bob Krakauer's class changed everything about how she directs on Get Scene Unscripted with Jesse Malinowski.Join Our Newsletter:https://getscenestudios.us7.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=7660af20fdb3c04d6b6516591&id=eecb804958Join out Patreon!⁠https://www.patreon.com/cw/GetScenePod⁠

Jesse Malinowski breaks down the three things actually holding Southeast actors back from getting signed — and calls out exactly why the "you need a referral" and "you need a demo reel" advice is costing you time.

If you've been chasing an agent in Atlanta or the Southeast and feel stuck, this episode is the game plan you weren't given.

Jesse Malinowski sits down with Stacia Crawford — Netflix director, intimacy coordinator on ABC's RJ Decker, producer, and working actress — to pull back the curtain on what directors actually see before you say action and why actors who nail the self-tape sometimes get replaced on set. On Get Scene Unscripted, Stacia also breaks down IC rights every SAG actor should know, why saying lines wrong can legally breach a writer's contract, and the mindset shift that separates actors who last from ones who burn out.
