KID BIZ: Check out this web site...
An online resource for parents who want to know the ins and outs of kids working in the talent industry, Children in Film is a membership site with lots of valuable free info worth checking out, including:
- Laws and policies regarding child talent (Coogan’s Law, Union Rules, Safety Guidelines, etc.).
- Education on the set
- An excellent questionnaire to help parents consider whether their child is marketable.
- Sample child/baby resumes & cover letter.
- Handling your child’s money and other tips for responsible parenting.
- Listings by state for industry professionals (agents, casting people, coaches, etc.).
- Member networking and much, much more!
I recommend you have a look around using their free membership, then upgrade if you want full use of the site. Professional design. Easy to navigate and full of information parents of industry kids can make use of.
Worth the trip even if you just take advantage of all the free info on the site.
Enjoy!
