subject: Feature Film Casting Success [print this page] You will have to deal with feature film casting success as well as rejection. Ive seen some very celebrated people stumble and perish. Suicides and accidental drug overdoses that cause the death of celebrities and film stars are never out of the headlines for long: Anna Nicole Smith, Kurt Cobain, River Phoenix. If I had known them, this is what I would have said. It might have made a difference:
* Wheres your anchor? To make it in acting, youre going to need a good anchorsomething that will keep you from being smashed into the rocks when storms come. Most of all, when success comes. My faith is my anchorit keeps me afloat when everything around me is sinking.
* Hang onto the rock: Every human being is created for a reason. No one comes into this world by accident. No professional award, no amount of wealth, can make life worth living if you have not discovered Gods purpose for your life. To be successful in any career, you must have a vision. A vision is your personal roadmap. It reminds you where youre going, and it shows you how to get there. It keeps you from getting lost. Write down your vision. It will help you focus on feature film casting success. It will let you know if youre going in the right direction, and it will sound an alarm when you get off course.
Without an anchor, even the most talented and skilled people perish. River Phoenix had all the talent in the world, but talent wasnt enough to save him. Without a rock in your life thats stronger than you are, no amount of feature film casting success can save you from yourself. God is my anchor and my rock. Hang onto the rock and you will be all right.
