Lori Wyman Casting Announces:LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN

Miami, Florida May 24, 2008 - Since the state of Florida has decided to do away with millions of dollars in filming incentives, we, as a film community, are going to do something about it!

On Monday, June 2, 2008, a letter writing campaign will take place at the offices of
Lori Wyman Casting. - 16499 NE 19 Ave #203 North Miami Beach, Fl. 33162

The hours of our campaign will be from 11AM - 5PM!!!!!
You do not have to stay very long - just long enough to turn in your letters.
OR you can stay and take advantage of the many lectures we will have going throughout the day.

We ask everyone who shows up to be prepared to turn in 3 stamped, addressed letters that they have written to our governor to ask for that film incentive money to be reinstated.
You may either write the letters at the office, come to the office and drop them off, or bring letters that you have collected from your friends in the business. We do not want you to mail them directly yourself. We feel it will make a much greater impact if we send the many letters we collect at the same time. Imagine the surprise when 1000 letters are delivered on the same day. WE NEED TO MAKE AN IMPACT!!
Don't complain that the money has been withdrawn. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Here is your opportunity.

We will have lectures and workshops being conducted all throughout the day of this letter writing campaign. If you have questions that you have wanted to ask, this is the day to show up and ask those questions, BUT YOU HAVE TO TURN IN 3 LETTERS! If you want your contact sheets looked at, June 2 is the day to do that, BUT YOU HAVE TO TURN IN 3 LETTERS. If you want to learn some auditioning tips, June 2 is the day to hear them, BUT YOU HAVE TO TURN IN 3 LETTERS. We will have representatives from various aspects of the business. Casting Director, Agent, Photographer, Acting Coach, Manager. You can hear them speak, BUT....that's right, YOU HAVE TO TURN IN 3 LETTERS.
This will be a great networking day. Don't miss out on this chance to make a difference. You just never know who you might meet at this very important event.
Just imagine if we had 200 people show up throughout the day and each one of you brought 3 letters. We could mail out 600 letters to our governor's office.
Don't miss out on your chance to make a difference.
Here is all you have to do.
Bring in 3 pieces of paper, 3 envelopes and 3 42 cent stamps. or more if you want. :)
You may ask your friends to write letters and then you can bring them into the office with you.

IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT IN THAT DAY - FEEL FREE TO MAIL THE LETTERS IN THEIR STAMPED, ADDRESSED ENVELOPES TO US SO THAT WE CAN INCLUDE THEM IN THE MASS MAILING. SEND THEM TO:

Here are some of the points you may want to make in your letters.

1) The letters you write should come from your heart .

2) Write about losing your home to foreclosure because you can't work here anymore because the loss of the incentives means losing your income

3) You might have to close your business because the incentives are driving the production companies to film in other states that are offering incentives.

4) The cast/crew need to leave the state and move to where the production work is: i.e., you are moving to States that offer film incentives because that's where the production companies are going to film instead of Florida. You can name New York, New Mexico, Michigan, Louisianna, Texas, etc.

5) Tell them how great this past year has been due to the incentives.

FYI - for every dollar of incentive money they give us, the state gets back $7.
Giving us money should be a no-brainer.

Below is the address you should put on the envelope:

Govenor Charlie Crist and Lt. Governor Jeff Kottkamp

Office of Governor Charlie Crist
State of Florida
PL-05 The Capitol
Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001

PLEASE - Take an hour out of your day to help!

PLEASE FORWARD THIS ONTO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN!!!!

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!
