About VIP Talent Connect

VIP Talent Connect is not an agency, not a school, not a management company- VIP Talent Connect is a revolutionary, one of a kind, way for new talent to create personal and professional relationships with leading tastemakers and industry leaders in the entertainment field. We invite you to join us and have discussions with the VIP Talent Connect guests in this unprecedented gathering of powerful entertainers, artists, producers and style gurus.

There are many different avenues to enter the entertainment business. Models can attend “free” open calls at various agencies in any major city. However, many persons interested in a modeling career are not aware of exactly what is involved in attending “free” open calls. Many models are confused at an open call when certain less than reputable companies demand upfront fees for a variety of usually unneeded items, especially “professional” photographs.

Meet the founder of Against the Grain and THE Pathological Optimist. Against the Grain is a way of doing business and living life that believes anything is possible, that there is no “right” way to attain success in business or to live the life you want, and that without creativity and just doing what everybody else is doing only guarantees conformity and mediocrity. Against the Grain helps it’s clients to ask tough, provocative questions, and then connects them with the Rock Star people, partners and causes needed to build the bridge, and cross the gap to attain their goals. It then also provides the solutions and services they need to execute and profit through that access, with best of breed specialties in business development, business strategy, Internet marketing and search engine optimization.

Referred to by many as “the lightning storm in human form”, Chad (or his company Against the Grain) is the co-owner of several companies in various industries, including health care (World Dental Club), author/speaker/publishing (BE); fashion (A.L. Gems Global); real estate investment (Cross Ocean International Finance Corp.). In addition to serving as a board member for V.I.P. Talent, Chad sits on the boards of Arts for Humanity Global; iDuplicate; SANG IV; Revolution Yes / Revolution 9; and a new independent film festival to be formally disclosed later in 2010.

His serial entrepreneurial exploits have made him an expert generalist with a mastery of the specifics and nuances comprising the areas of business development and strategic and operational planning. He has designed and project managed multiple client business development operations, that have included the design and implementation of organizational and departmental strategies, operational models, financial models, and marketing operations contributing to hundreds of millions in revenues for his clients in the energy sector, the real estate sector, the health and wellness sector, the technology sector, and at various levels of government.

Chad has worked with and motivated, inspired, and empowered business teams to achieve excellence, while providing them with the strategies and guidance to do so. Also a writer and business philosopher, Chad has co-developed and implemented several intellectual property business and marketing strategies, including the Non-Competitive Advantage, the D-N-A Matrix Marketing System, and the Metaphysics of Money.

VIP Talent Connect Event Director featuring a beautiful design from Jules Smith Designs featured on Life.com. It was the hottest event in town as the stars came out to celebrate Corbin Bleu’s unveiling at Tony Di Napoli.

Gina Nigrelli’s JULES SMITH collection is reminiscent of influential runway looks of decades past, infused with modern day influences. Gina’s aesthetic marries her unique contemporary point-of-view with the classic statement-making trends of the 70’s and 80’s. She’s identified the free-spirited essence of the 70’s and the glamour and excess of the 80’s as her brand inspirations. JULES SMITH styles include bold cuffs, star motifs, engraved monochromatic animal print pieces, chain link silhouettes, vintage charms, rings and bangles.
“My collection pays homage to the iconic trends in fashion,” reflects Nigrelli. “One strong accessory, such as a dominant necklace, cuff or bold pair of earrings, completes a look that is timeless and effortlessly chic.”

Great job and everyone at VIP Talent Connect looks forward to more from Danielle. We know one day you will be on the cover of Vogue Magazine.

“BODIE is shooting a major motion picture – he shot yesterday and today – its called ‘Necklace’ – its shooting up at Columbia University.
BODIE is also in Maxim this month and next month” – Thanks VIP Ryan C. V.P Models International New Faces Division

“Bodie” real name Matt Bodenheimer came to our office on May 18, 2009. Bodie is from Virginia. He attended his first VIP Talent Connect event July 2009 where he met Ryan Colby. This is what Bodie wrote in his paragraph on why he wants to get in the industry one year ago:

“Though my own personal journey, I’ve learned that entertainment industry is anything but predictable. There is no given or specific path on how to make or break your career. Although I have learned many things from my experiences, I feel that I have only gotten my feet wet in terms of my goals and capabilities for the future. This year, I want to get my food in the door and take my acting career to the next level. I see myself no constricting my acting opportunities solely on the DC area. I hope to be working on more professional projects and be able to get my name out. I want to find more work, go on more auditions, work in DC, New York, and Philadelphia because I know the harder I work, it is only a matter of time before I can get my career rolling. In one year, I see myself surrounded by people who believe in my abilities and are will to help me find the opportunities and I in return am willing to put the effort to try my hardest to put myself out there and not miss out on opportunities. If there is one think I have learned, it is that opportunities don’t come to you, you have to go out and find them.” Congratulations “Matt” we always knew with the right connections you had what it takes to be a star!

Shark Tank
The producers of the new ABC reality series Shark Tankare on a nationwide search to discover the next successful – and possibly wealthy – entrepreneurs, inventors, businesspersons, dreamers, promoters, creators and innovators. In each episode, budding entrepreneurs are given the unprecedented chance to make their business ideas come true. The show will premiere over the summer following the special 10th anniversary primetime return of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

If you have an existing business that needs a financial injection or feel you have a lucrative business idea but just can’t seem to secure the financial backing to get it off the ground, then Shark Tank is just the show for you. Casting is looking for aspiring entrepreneurs who can pitch their breakthrough business concepts, products, properties and services to moguls in hopes of landing investment funds. If selected, five real-life, tough investors could be willing to part with their own hard-earned cash and give you the funding you need to jumpstart your idea. But the investors, also known as Sharks, aren’t just out to invest; they too have a goal – to own a piece of your next big idea.

Your business idea should be top-notch and something the Sharks will really want to sink their teeth into and might even spark a bidding war between them. Who knows – you could be the fortunate entrepreneur who gets the Sharks to reveal the true level of their interest and bid up the price of your investment!

EMAIL US AT: SharkTankCasting@yahoo.com
Please include your name, age, contact info, a recent photo, and a brief, NON-CONFIDENTIAL description of your idea. Good luck.

Audition Stategies is BACK!
Audition Strategies: an Actor’s Workshop from a Producer’s perspective

Join us in the widely popular Audition Workshop!

When Sean Young, donning a leather costume, mask, and a whip, stormed into the studio demanding an audition for the role of Catwoman in Batman Returns, director Tim Burton hid under his desk.
Case-in-point: Persistence vs Pestering

When asked to read for a role, Shelly Winters once slammed down her two Oscars and asked the casting director, “Ya still want me to audition?” She got the part.
Case-in-point: Confidence vs Cockiness

The night before his audition, Mel Gibson got a broken nose and disconnected jaw in a bar brawl. Director George Miller loved the look and cast him as Mad Max.
Case-in-point: Looking the Part vs Being Yourself

AUDITION STRATEGIES is a one-day, intensive workshop for actors who want to learn simple and effective techniques, facts, and tips that will get them the parts they want.

Who Should Attend: Aspiring actors who have talent, passion, discipline, and even agents, but hit a wall every time they audition, never able to pinpoint exactly what goes wrong.

Why This Class: This workshop is NOT an acting class. It is not conducted by an acting teacher, a coach, an agent or even a casting director. Instead, it is conducted by the casting DECIDER, aka the producer/director. He is the one who actually sees what mistakes actors make and knows the dos and don’ts of auditioning.

What You Learn: In this 1-day, intensive, hands-on workshop, actors will go through each step of the audition process and learn fast, simple and effective ways to build your portfolio, your confidence, and your chance to get the part. Participants will quickly become adept at handling real-world situations through lectures, Q&A’s, and demonstrations, providing them with the tips and tricks necessary to capture the audience- the Producer

Audition Strategies Workshop runs on 2/06/10 (Saturday), 10:30 am-1:30 pm.

FOX Reality’s “Solitary 3.0 & 4.0″ Invade “Robert Galinsky’s RealityWanted Radio”!!!

FOX Reality’s “Solitary 3.0 & 4.0″ Invade Robert Galinsky’s Reality Wanted this Wednesday February 3rd! Join us for exclusive interviews and access to: Executive Producers Andrew J. Golder and Lincoln Hiatt, Andrew Sabat winner of Solitary 3.0, Maureen Francisco and RobRob from Solitary 3.0, and Nick Leland from Soliatry 4.0.

Call in live at 877.242.8212 between 6-8pm EST to talk to our guests and listen live at http://chataboutit.com/about/robert-galinskys-reality.

More About FOX Reality’s “Solitary”
Solitary is the thinking man’s reality show. Part SAW, part 2001: A Space Odyssey, part Portal Aside from being thought provoking it also offers up plenty of grim and guilty pleasures.

This is how it essentially works: 9 people are quarantined in they’re own personal pod. They’re food and sleep deprived. They are also made to undergo maddening and near torturous “treatments”, Like sitting on a bowling ball for an hour or having to smell the worst smells you can possibly imagine (such as “liquid ass”) or having to keep their tongue fixed to a plate of glass. Anyone can quit anytime they want to. All they have to do is push a big red button conveniently placed in their pod. The first one to push it gets kicked out of the game. As long as you don’t push the button first, you’re still in. Nobody knows how anyone else is doing during “treatments”. No one knows who has or hasn’t pushed the button. It’s a total mind screw. Now add to this mix a computer companion named “VAL” who’s voice is the only company any of the contestants have during their stay in Solitary. Part sadist, part confidante, and sometimes friend, a slightly less sinister version of 2001: A Space Odyssey’s HAL, VAL is the game show host for the new millennium.

It’s fascinating to watch how people react when pushed to the limits of their physical and emotional endurance and it’s one of the most interesting pieces of television out there right now. It’s no surprise to me that it’s the most successful show in Fox Reality Channel’s history.

“RobertGalinsky’s RealityWanted” – Every Wednesday 6-8pm EST on ChatAboutIt.com energized by CBS. Call in live to 877.CHAT.212 and be a part of the show… featuring the Kodak Zi8 Pocket Camera. RGRW is Co-Produced by RealityWanted and the New York Reality TV School.

“Robert, we have an open slate to cast whoever we want… for whatever we want or need. Anyone that you might be able to send along, I would 100% guarantee that they get face time.” Producer Director “Rock In A Hard Place”

“Rock In A Hard Place” – A series that features eccentric employees, wild musicians and the larger than life club-owning Frank Pallet, all under the same sun operating a rock theater, dance club, multiple bars, and a restaurant. An original reality series, that chronicles the “actions, adventures and mischief” inside the legendary Chance Theater complex in Poughkeepsie, NY – as well as all the behind the scenes antics involved with putting on shows with national recording artists. The cast of the show is an assorted bag of personalities; from the owner-manager sexual tension relationship, to the blistering performers, to the misfit employees (including an quiet endearing all around guy and a hot-headed bouncer), the city PD, sexy club goers and the mob all of whom join together to turn this aged complex into the city’s place to be for a good time….oh, yeah, it’s haunted too… //////////

On Friday 02/05 we are filming with the bands Five Finger Death Punch and Shadows Fall. They will encompass live performance footage and backstage/tour bus debauchery.

We are poising this for potential, subsequent seasons, casting, i.e.: Rock In A Hard Place-Poughkeepsie, next season Rock In A Hard Place-Miami, next season, next city…

Please email Daniel.Bucci@comcast.net or Robert Niebrzydowski at loveactingalways@yahoo.com for more info!

You are cordially invited to the hilarious new comedy When Joey Married Bobby opening February 6, 2010 at Theatre 80 St. Marks Place.

“When Joey Married Bobby”, starring Lady Bunny, two-time S.A.G.Award Nominee Tina McKissick and introducing former Detroit Tiger Pitcher Matthew Pender as Joey, opens February 6, 2010 for an open-ended run at Off-Broadway house Theatre 80 St. Marks, between 1st & 2nd Avenues.

From the comic mind of GLAAD Award winning playwright, William Wyatt (Peachtree Battle, A Sunday Afternoon At Loehmans, The Limousine Ride and Veranda) comes a tale about gay marriage in an ultra conservative household. Bright-eyed hunk Joey (Matthew Pender) has finally met the man of his dreams and ready to take a plunge into marriage. The thought of a gay wedding has Joey’s southern socialite mother Sarah Edwards (Tina McKissick) in quite a tizzy. Worried that the news of her son’s nuptials might jeopardize her chances of winning “Christian of the Year,” Sarah stops at nothing to protect her name, image and reputation. The legendary Lady Bunny co-stars in the play as the power-wielding, Baptist Minister’s Wife, Charity Divine.
