I came across another site that someone didn't have a good experience with them but I don't see anything about the above on backstage forums.

Does anyone know anything about them?

I think that if any AGENT, CD, MGMT or any other company has the word "STAR" somehow worked into their name, then you should run fast. another word to avoid "POWER" or "powers"

and also avoid "scout".

Hi All -

I am not sure why the person below is calling me a scam, I never heard from them after explaining what we do. To that person. . .did you pay for something that you did not receive service on? If so please let me know so we can rectify. I can assure you that we are legit, we provide breakdown services, coaching and more. It is unfortunate that people who have a problem have to air it on a public board instead of just talking to the person.

It's amazing how lately whenever an actor puts out a concern about an agency, talent, mgr, or even a school as being wishy washy. The next day or so either the actual rep comes out to defend it, or someone claiming to be an "actor" comes to defend it. Which we know that person claiming to be an actor is probably the agent, mgr, or talent themselves responding. Like that whole "Explore Talent" post which I found to be very funny. Stardust if you were to see my email I'm sure you would recognize why I made the statement.

This weekend, they made a Craigslist post, asking people to donate money "for the needy" in exchange for being submitted for paying gigs.

Help feed the homeless this cold holiday season and help your career at the same time. Donate $20 or more and get submitted to paying principal roles on shows such as CSI, Ghost Whisperer, Knight Rider and more. These are roles not available on breakdown services and are reserved only for those with representation. We wil personally submit you directly to the castin directors.

This is a great cause that we implemented for Thanksgiving with great success. If interested please email a headshot and resume that you would like to use for submission and your donation amount.

Thanks everyone!!!


Feeling naughty, I decided to contact them for details, so I e-mailed to let them know that I'd just made a sizeable donation to the L.A. Food Bank (which is true), and would that count? Their response:

Unfortunately not but if you want to do just 10 to us that would be ok and we will submit you. You can pay via paypal to lisapixiegirl@gmail.com. Let me know.

Lisa


Ummmmmm, yeah, I don't think so ..... Roll Eyes
