AKA Talent Agency Signing & DMI Audition

3/15/09 - Saturday - Exciting News...As stated earlier in my blog we have been a bit frustrated because we were hoping for more Theatrical(TV & Movie) auditions. There are many variables why this happens. Hines & Hunt(Managers) had been handling those submissions. To help bolster the amount of submissions Hines & Hunt found an agent interested in signing Hunter. We met with Julie at AKA Talent Agency and feel really good about her ability to help our Theatrical possibilities. This completes our team of management and agent. Hunter had an audition in Santa Monica at 10 am this morning for the Dairy Management Inc.™ (DMI) is the domestic and international planning and management organization that builds demand for dairy products on behalf of America’s 60,000-plus dairy producers. DMI and international, state and regional organizations manage the American Dairy Association®, the National Dairy Council® and the U.S. Dairy Export Council®. This is a campaign to provide better nutrition in public schools. It's a print job that would be marketed through Internet, newspaper, banner ads, and posters in schools. We showed up, they took multiple pictures, and were on our way. After the audition we had lunch with our manager(Eddie) from Hines & Hunt. This was a great opportunity to pick his brain and get to know him better. After speaking with Eddie I feel good about what we have accomplished and the amount of auditions we have gone out on. I have heard of lots of kids that have been out here for 8 months with 3 total auditions!! Our plan is to leave at the end of this month. If our new agent at AKA is able to drum up theatrical auditions we will consider extending the trip a couple of weeks. Thanks for all the prayers....they are working and we are grateful for what we have accomplished so far. Keep the prayers coming.

  1. Sean, It was great hearing your voice today. I know I tell you all the time, but I really do love you very much. I hope when you and Hunter return home that we are able to find time each month for our two families to get together. I love spending time with you and we simply don't do it enough. I take for granted that you will always be near by :( You and Hunter need to try and do and see everything you can in the time you have left there. Have a blast for all of us!
    Love, Danny
