Production Companies
- If you need help with casting, setting up
auditions, or other services in central Kentucky please contact Bob Cooke by
E-Mail.
Some independent movies and all major productions get listed on the
Internet Movie Database (IMDb). I maintain a list of area
movies
that might be of interest to local people on IMDb.

Welcome to
Kentucky
Movie Net
Kentucky
Movie Net is a free service to local actors, crew and
production companies.
If you are interested in becoming involved in the local area film
community, this is a good place to get started as well. Most
people begin as extras, production assistants or interns in low budged
independent films. Those with theater experience may give the
movies a try in a featured role.
Most local movies are shot on weekends and in the evenings.
This
allows the crew and actors to hold down full time jobs. Don't
expect to make a lot of money!

Kentucky Movie Net is not an agency. We don't
find you
jobs. We simply have a Yahoo! Group that post news and
casting
calls for regional movies. When you find a movie that you are
interested in you need to contact the production company directly.
Even when it was posted by me (Bob C. Cooke), I usually don't
have have any more information than what I posted on the Yahoo Group.
When I am acting as a casting director, I will include a
link
to my e-mail address in the text of the message for more information.
Most posts that go out in my name were found on other sites
and
copied or forwarded to the Yahoo Group.

those sites

Networking
Some times it really is who you know that counts.
Many small productions may not post on these sites.
They use people they already know. People who
auditioned
for earlier movies or people that they have worked with before.
That is why you need to meet the local filmmakers.
Working
as an extra or a production assistant is the easiest way to make
connections. Going to premieres of local productions is
another
way to meet people who might be able to help you get started.
You
can usually talk to the producers after the screening.

Warning:
Do not assume that a production is legitimate just because it
is
posted on KY Movie Net. We do not have the resources to
investigate all the information on the site. Most messages on
the
site will be OK, but like any other business there are predators.
Please investigate anything that you are not sure of before
investing your time or money.
Sometimes
I can help. I know some of the local productions and can
vouch
for them. Other time I have my own concerns, but post the
messages anyway rather that to have members miss out on getting a part
just because I don't know them. Please fell free to contact
me at BobCooke@juno.com
to see if I know anything about the production.
If you find out that any post are not legitimate, please let
me
know as soon as possible.
Network
on MySpace
MySpace
has become a popular site for filmmakers. Some even post
casting
calls on their MySpace bulletins. Since you need to
be a
member I usually can't repost these messages. If you are a
member
of MySpace, please check out my profile at http://www.myspace.com/bobcooke

your profile mentions something about
movies
I may not accept you as a friend, but anyone can join the KY Movie Net
