On this episode of #PitchChris we're

gonna be talking about how do you

network on social media? How do you run

your day job and side hustle? And how do

you convert theater acting to film

acting? Hi and welcome to episode 29 of

#PitchChris where you guys ask me

questions about the entertainment

business and I answer them for you. To

ask me a question find me on social

media at Chris DeBlasio #PitchChris

 they'll be happy to answer all the questions you guys have.

 Let's get started. 

This first question comes from

Michael. Let's see what Michaels got. -Hey

Chris, Michael DeMaria here from Gulf

Breeze Florida on the Emerald Coast. I am

a filmmaker and actor here just back

from LA and I'm looking to connect with

others, possibly to do a web series. And

finding other like-minded

to cast and crew that might be

interested in doing something like a web

series. So, I know about Mandy.com

Actors Access but I'm interested in other

options if you know of any. Thanks so

much, have a great day.

Hey Michael, so Gulf Breeze Florida is

not far from my old stomping ground,

Panama City Beach in Destin 30A area.

Really do miss those sunsets!

So yes you do have Actors Access you

have Mandy.com but there's another thing

that you can use is social media. If you

go on social media you could actually go

directly to a director, look at their

work and see if it's somebody that you

want to work with. See if they might want

to collaborate with you on your web

series. That would be a great way that

you can actually start networking with a

director or somebody in the business and

leveraging social media. Because if you

leverage social media you'll be able to

start accessing talent that you may not

 be able to find a project or

something that fits on say Mandy or say

Actors Access. You're able to find

somebody directly and build a

relationship. And what I say all the time

 On this episode of #PitchChris... is it easier for a dramatic actor to move to comedy or the other way around? Where is the best place to network in the entertainment business in Atlanta? And if you are a writer and you get your one shot to pitch your script how do you best prepare? Hi and welcome to episode 27 of #PitchChris where you guys ask me questions about the entertainment business and I'm gonna answer them. To ask me a question find me on social media @ChrisDeBlasio #PitchChris and I'll be happy to answer all the questions you guys have.   This first question comes from #BigAndrewKay. Let's see what he's got. Hey quick question for #PitchChris this is big Andrew K my thoughts from the bench. My thought today is as a young aspiring comedian you think it's easier to take a dramatic actor and teach him comedy or take a comedic actor or comedian and teach them how to do drama? Here's my answer, one man's opinion, if you're a talented actor you can accomplish pretty much anything. But for a majority of some of the actors out there I would say that it depends on a couple of things. One of the biggest things is public perception. If you look at an actor that has been taking serious roles for a really long time, it may be a little bit more challenging to break into comedy. Whereas if you have a comedic actor say like an Adam Sandler or a Jim Carrey we've actually seen this done before where they've actually worked in comedy for a long time and made that transition into more of the dramatic roles. So one man's opinion.. but I would say you know moving from comedy to dramatic probably probably an easier transition.

On this episode of #PitchChris. If you're a producer how do you land an agent? If you are a sound design student how do you break in the entertainment business? And if you're producing a movie, what's more important to the investor your creativity or the bottom line? Hi and welcome to episode 24 of #PitchChris where you guys ask me questions about the entertainment business and I'm gonna answer them for you. To ask me a question find me on social media @ChrisDeBlasio #PitchChris and I'll be happy to answer all the questions you guys have. This first question comes from Tsadiqwah let's see what Tsadiqwah has to say. Hi Chris my name is Tsadiqwah and I am a daytime talk-show TV producer also a reality TV producer and my question is this. Because there aren't any unions for talkshow producers and for reality TV producers unlike the PGA that represents film and movie producers... how can I get the attention of an agent or a manager or even or someone who represents me someone who can submit me as a talk show reality producer to those type of jobs? That's my question. Yes you are correct. So the PGA does not represent say TV hosts or producers like yourself. But if you're trying to capture the attention of some representation to get you more work... what you're gonna want to do is you're gonna want to keep building your reel. So it sounds like you've already started doing your own things. One of the biggest things that say a manager or an agent is gonna look for is that you actually have an eye for a good content which means that you can s spot something and just know that it's gonna be prime.

It comes from Don, let's see what Don's got to say. Chris, my name is Don McCullough. I'm with an organization called Earth Quest. My question to you is this, in 1975 a movie called Their Only Chance was made. The star of the movie is Steve Hoddy, who is also the founder of Earth Quest. We would like to retain the rights to that movie to do a remake. How can we do this? Thank you Hey Don, so when your obtaining rights what you're going to need to do is you're going to want to find an entertainment attorney that specializes in intellectual property. There is a lot of things that go on in a deal like this where there's character rights and story rights.
