Hollywood Extra Casting Experts Angela Bertolino and Carla Lewis Pen ‘Extra Work For Brain Surgeons,’ A Guide To Break Into Movies, TV, Commercials And Videos In LA

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) March 17, 2006

Successful Beverly Hills businesswomen/authors Angela Bertolino and Carla Lewis, considered the premiere casting info resource for Hollywood extras — and who were previously both ripped off by unscrupulous Hollywood scammers — have penned the book “Extra Work for Brain Surgeons,” a must-read guide for anyone who has ever dreamed about coming to Hollywood to make it as an entertainer.

This riveting, informative and often humorous book includes:

·    How to navigate the “Hollywood Jungle”

·    How to get cast as a Hollywood Extra in movies, TV, commercials, music videos

·    How to avoid the Hollywood scam artists who can prey on newcomers

·    Where to find and how to reach reputable casting agencies

·    How to join the Hollywood talent unions, such as the Screen Actors Guild

·    How to work on the set alongside some of Hollywood biggest stars

Angela Bertolino, who years earlier was the victim of Hollywood scam artists, describes her book by saying, “It’s a definitive handbook and comprehensive directory for novice and working extra performers in the entertainment industry. This annual guide delivers practical, objective advice on how to navigate the world of extra work, from getting jobs to getting paid.”

“There’s also a near-exhaustive listing of current casting directors and how best to get work from them. Written in a conversational yet straightforward style, our book boasts easy-to-understand explanations of union contracts, labor laws, and heavily researched listings of questionable companies to look out for. And there’s an extensive reference guide containing glossaries, maps, and many useful phone numbers.”

“Extra Work for Brain Surgeons” is designed to aid the performer in having a positive experience in the industry,” emphasized Ms. Bertolino.

AUTHOR BIOS

Angela Bertolino came to Hollywood from her hometown of Sacramento, CA, in the 1990s, and quickly immersed herself in the world of Hollywood by going out on casting calls with the hopes of perhaps one day becoming a Hollywood icon or maybe a writer or producer. Instead, she ultimately founded Hollywood OS® (Hollywood Operating System®) with aspiring actress/model Carla Lewis (who has since gone on to become a top casting agent), which today is regarded as the one-stop information source for those seeking a career as a Hollywood actor or extra, or even those who just want to learn more about how the “Hollywood jungle” operates.

Climbing pro Timmy O’Neill to screen Return2Sender at Portland’s Hollywood Theatre

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 24, 2005

Climbing pros, outdoor enthusiasts, and their buddies won’t want to miss the big-air antics of free climbing pro Timmy O’Neill in the hot new Peter Mortimer film Return2Sender (www.return2sendermovie.com), which makes its Oregon debut at 7pm, Wednesday, May 4 at the Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy Blvd. in Portland. Return2Sender is distributed by Lenticular Pictures, a new Seattle digital film distribution company led by Seattle film maker Riley Morton.

Tickets can be purchased for $ 8 (pre sale) and $ 10 (day of show) at US Outdoor (www.usoutdoor.com) 219 SW Broadway in downtown Portland.

The Portland screening is one of three Oregon dates for the film and is part of a 14-city western tour in Colorado, Utah, Washington, Oregon, California, and British Columbia, Canada.

For the pilgrimage of serious climbers and the curious, the evening includes the high-energy tales of America’s funniest climber as he guides his disciples, “Warren Miller style,” on a thrill-ride up some of the tightest cracks, intense faces, and amazing monoliths the west has to offer.

The series of six short climbing films that make up the 90 minute Return2Sender is presented by Montrail and distributed by Seattle’s Lenticular Pictures, which specializes in the emerging business of digital film production and distribution.

O’Neill, a 35-year-old Boulder, Colorado resident, is a cult-figure among climbers and regarded by those who attended his 40 shows in 2004 as one of the “funniest climbers to scale the comedy circuit.” Those in the know call O’Neill a “cross between the hilarity of Robin Williams and athletic ability of Tiger Woods.”

“I’ve already injured a pro athlete at one of my gigs,” quipped O’Neill. “Next I need a member of our audience to give birth and go into cardiac arrest.”

Once the domain of the highly adventurous and mildly insane, rock climbing has become a relatively mainstream adventure activity in the United States with nearly 1 million participants according to the American Sport Climbers Federation. Return2Sender features some of the hottest climbers out there.

While you’re busting a rib laughing at his antics, you’ll experience the technical and mental intensity of O’Neill slack-lining (that’s walking on a 1-inch nylon strap for the non-climbers) the Bridger Jacks Towers, 1,000 feet off the deck in Indian Creek, Utah.

Ten-year-old “bouldering” phenom Cicada Jenerik will take you on a v.10 (that’s tough) gymnastic ascent up some of the coolest boulders the west has to offer near Bishop, California.

And you’ll free-solo (that’s “look mom, no rope” for the rest of us) with one of the brashest dudes that the climbing world has to offer, Michael Reardon, on the intensely technical 5.12c Perro de Los Guerros at Tic Rock and 10c/d (still pretty intense) EBGB Boulder in California’s Joshua Tree National Park. Both were the first free-solo attempts on these routes. Beware – Reardon takes a whipper in the segment.

Bouldering (climbing massive rocks close to the ground) has taken off as one of the hot new areas of rock climbing,” said O’Neill who’s antics include bouldering’s mischievous cousin, “buildering” (climbing the face of buildings – Spiderman style) in the climbing cult-film, Urban Ape, a winner of over five major Mountain Film Festival awards. “It’s brought the same awareness and youth to climbing that snow boarding brought to skiing,” said O’Neill. “You don’t need any gear – only a pair of shoes and a chalk bag. Just about anyone can drive to a cool boulder and climb it without the risk of catastrophic injury.”

O’Neill will appear this fall in the new Discovery Channel series Urban Explorers featuring ascents of several notable structures including a Cold War era Titan 1 missile silo in Colorado, the Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee, and the underground tunnels of Chicago. He is perhaps best known among climbing elite for his 2001 world speed record 3 ½ hour climb of the famed 3,000-foot “Nose” on Yosemite’s El Capitan and through climbing, has explored many of the world’s great mountain ranges from Pakistan to Patagonia. His adventures include ascents of Cuba’s limestone cliffs, the massive granite monoliths in Greenland and a four-day ascent, with double amputee Warren McDonald, of the “biggest big wall in the world,” the extremely overhanging 2,000 foot Grade IV “Tangerine Trip” of Yosemite’s El Capitan.

About the Hollywood Theatre and the Oregon Film & Video Foundation

The OFVF’s mission is to engage in activities designed to foster the growth and development of film and video in Oregon for the artistic, cultural and educational benefit of Oregon residents. In 1996 the OFVF saw an opportunity to further its mission by acquiring the Hollywood Theatre as a venue for film, video, educational, and cultural activities. Since then the OFVF staff and Board have revived the Hollywood Theatre’s as a cultural asset, creating a center for film, video and multimedia education and promotion as well as serving as a facility for films, community, and private events.

About Timmy O’Neill

Star of Peter Mortimer’s Front Range Freaks (Urban Ape Segment), O’Neill returns in Return2Sender as co-producer, comedic host, and star climber – seamlessly executing his multiple capabilities both on and behind the camera. O’Neill is one of America’s most accomplished big-wall climbers, with first ascents of many long, hard routes in remote locations around the world. He is also one of the fastest climbers anywhere, and holds speed records for blazing up Yosemite’s half mile high El Capitan in just over three and a half hours. O’Neill is even more renowned for his wild public speaking appearances and slide shows, in which he combines inspiring tales of climbing and adventure with irreverent humor and outrageous antics. He is currently starring in the new Discovery Channel TV series, Urban Explorers, which explores “buildering” on structures throughout America.
