That's a great analogy,Beau, and I appreciate every word you said...I know it's a long shot and you've really got to be lucky just to get your foot in the door. But...when you KNOW you've got it, when you KNOW that you CAN be that guy if you had your shot...if THAT doesn't keep you from never giving up, then nothing will. And that's why I will never stop trying to get my foot in the door...I know how things are here in LA...hey, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS!! So live with it, but don't ever stop...because you WILL get your shot...if you don't give up...

Hi Beau,

I read you remarks dated Sept 29th as to why studios won't use anyone new for trailers, and I wanted to thank you for your continued frankness and no BS policy when it come to the industry as a whole.

That being said, it seems like a policy wrought with danger and pitfalls. It would be like the car companies saying that since Carroll Shelby was one of most (if not the most) successful car designer that he's the only one who can design cars. I'm not questioning your explaination on what IS happening, only the mindset of the trailer houses for doing it.

Anyway, since that is the world we're living in...What about the secondary releases in DVD or Blu-Ray formates? Are the studio and trailer house more likely to take a chance on a new talent for those trailer commercials, and could that lead to to the coveted theater trailers?

I guess my bottom line question is, if someone would like to make it into that elite group are there any baby steps that could put you on the right path.

Talk Soon,
mike

Beau's explanation about why trailer producers are not open to new talent:

The truest and most accurate statement so well put.
