The Film Industry is full of talented and wonderful people. It is also full of talented, strange, dishonest and creepy people. An unfortunate fact.
For the past few months, I have been hearing stories from female actors and respected directors who have had actors come to them about male amateur directors/producers using facebook to seek out young girls/women to star in their films and constantly trying to chat to them online. The women feel like they are being stalked and don't really know what to do. This is very concerning to me, as I am aware that they could be using such groups as the Perth Film Network to find and contact girls. These Directors/Producers are in PERTH !
So I felt it was time that I write a blog, which is mainly aimed at young women, on how to stay safe and smart with online networking and in general in the Perth Film Scene.
