Pilot Season 2014

Has pilot season been different for you this year? The word on the street is that is has been for most people. Why? TV as we know it is changing. The networks are seeing that the cable format is the way to go. So many good shows have been lost due to the pressure of the May upfronts. If the advertisers don’t like a show it gets dumped. SeeVariety’s article. Fox chairman Kevin Reilly declared R.I.P. Pilot Season. So what does that mean for us? Well, there will be less pilot opportunities for developmental talent. There is nothing we can do about the grand scheme but we can handle ourselves. Create your own work. Create your own opportunities. Continue to network. Continue to STUDY! Do you have a drama degree and think you’re set for life? Wrong. This is a craft and you must always be working on it. Always. Don’t let your first audition in six months be your practice run! You need to be ready! I guarantee you the best of the best continue to study. Some of this years most recognized actors, Jared Leto and Margot Robbie sought coaching for their critically acclaimed roles. If you want to be successful in this business then you’ve got to work just as hard as everyone else if not harder.
