Hello!

My first post on CIF was about 2 months ago. We had lots of questions about starting in the industry and had comments about JRP.

Thank you ChildrenInFilm and Members for all of your responses! You Rock! KidStart program is awesome, forum, the webpage itself, gives a lots of education to us "newcomers". 

Our daughter Severina is still attending JRP, things are lot better, she likes it, that’s all it matters. She auditioned couple of times with reputable agents, but getting no feedback, was very hard to see if she’s doing something wrong or not. I wasn’t sure what to do until I decided to submit her myself.

Thanks to CIF again, I was able to e-mail couple of agents, and then after about a month I got one response, that changed everything.

Just last week we went to LA, met Lynne Gray with RPM and signed our first contract in a heart beat. Lynne is great, very professional, and to the point. She took the time to get to know us, and I can tell she knows with kids. Severina likes her very much. We are looking forward to our relationship with Lynne.

Living here in Vegas and getting started in industry is very hard, “bigheads” are around us everywhere, no one to turn to with questions, until…

…Until we met and I hope become friends with this awesome lady, Tracy Sanzone and her daughter Maranda Ramos. We initially met on this forum which led to a “girls lunch”, texting, e-mails and phone calls.

I was really blessed meeting Tracy; great woman, professional-full of information, caring and very positive. She there, devoted to her daughter Maranda but also to the other parents of child actors needing education and information to better protect their children in the industry. Thank you Tracy!

We have no idea what the future holds for our daughter, but finding a good agent is the great start!

L.A., HERE WE COME!!!
