I am not well know on the west coast because I just moved out here. I shot mostly on the east coast the past four years prior to my move. I have only worked for two REAL producers (Steve doesn't count!)in CA and several in Las Vegas in the past five months. I am regretting moving out here now due to how slow the industry is. I keep encountering agents promising work that have nothing. Agents trying to tell me they have had companies turn me down for work because they have heard bad things about me. Well hello people, since I just moved here and haven't worked for many companies, how could you have heard anything that you can not take with a grain of salt? You should realize how people talk in this stupid industry. I have a lot of good references from Vegas and the east coast who hire me repeatedly, so I can not be that bad to work with.
