Kentucky Movie Net

Kentucky Movie Net has several resources to help out local actors and filmmakers.  First is the web site that you are on, http://www.KyMovie.Net . This is designed to introduce new actors and or production people to the local film community.  It doesn't change a lot, but makes it easier to to find other locations.

If you would like to sign up for our mailing list on Yahoo! Groups you can go to http://Yahoo.KyMovie.Net .  You need to have a Yahoo account to use it, but everything is free.  This service is the main part of KY Movie Net.  It will send messages to your e-mail account with information about area productions including auditions, crew needs and premieres.

KMN also has a MySpace group at http://groups.myspace.com/KyMovieNet.  If you have a MySpace account you can join.  It doesn't send out messages to you and you have to remember to visit it occasionally to see what's new.  I don't usually post messages like those on the Yahoo Group to this group.

Where do I get the information that gets posted on the Yahoo Group?

Many of the local area filmmakers are members of the KY Movie Net group.  When they need cast, crew or other types of help they often post directly to the group.  Some prefer to just send me an e-mail and have me post it for them.  I also re post information that I find from other sites and/or groups like this the KMN Yahoo Group.  I do filter which posts that I put on KY Movie Net based on my best judgment of what Kentucky actors and filmmakers would be interested in.  If you live in central Kentucky, KY Movie Net might be the only group that you need to join.  Many of you may want to join other area groups or check out web sites that don't usually send out mailings.  

Below are the sources that I use for most of the information that I post on the Yahoo Group above.

WEB SITES

VSM Entertainment in Louisville, KY has an excellent web site that includes casting call from various states:  www.vsmentertainment.com

Another site that gets checked daily is the announcements page for the Kentucky Film Office (commission): http://filmoffice.ky.gov/bulletinboard.htm

Currently the only source for information that I have in Indiana is:  http://www.indianaauditions.com/forum/index.php

If you know of other local area sites, please let me know and I will add it to this list.  Additionally there are several national sites.  I can't list them all here, so I just list what I call "Grass Roots" groups.

I hope these links are valuable to you,
