Day 84: Emailed 9 regional agents who are based in Louisiana, Austin and Houston for theatrical rep. I'm not sure how much work Texas is getting lately but I know that film production in Louisiana is booming and with HBO's Treme in their second season, they have television production as well.

Now I know emailing an agent on a Friday afternoon isn't typically a good idea {especially when they are 2-3 hours ahead of you} but despite this, I had the following email exchange with one of the Louisiana agents:

Agent: We will have an answer for you Monday. Are you able to come out for producer sessions as pre-reads are taped submissions for our Los Angeles talent?


Me: Yes m'am. I've put myself on tape before so I'm very comfortable with that and if it's a great project and the producers really want to see me in person I am definitely willing to fly out there. I know there's a lot of film and even some TV work in Louisiana so I'm willing to go where the work is. Thank you for considering me.


Agent: Sounds great. Mondays are hectic so please check back in.
