However, I want to be in film more than anything. Im from tucson az and I am just starting my senior year in a few months then I plan on moving to NYC or LA. Ive heard that its easier to get your SAG card in New York. Is this true? Do I even really need a SAG card or can I go without it? I know the process of getting one is difficult and that I could get in easily by joining aea or aftra. I just have so many questions HELP!

  1. You can pursue your dream, but don't stop your education. You need something to fall back on in case you don't make it in the competitive acting field.


  2. Move to LA.  Become a waitress, there's good money waitressing or pizza delivery.  While you're doing that get a website for yourself, they're really cheap.  Audition for local commercials, independant films, and documentaries.  I've heard it can be easier to get your SAG card if you've done some Extra work, especially if you're face is shown.  Go to lots of parties and be social, totally social.  Get a friend who's an editor and make a kick *** video portfolio tape.  Check out Leil Lowndes and Social Dynamics on the internet.

    That should give you some ideas.
