Synopsis
VICTOR BELLOWS, a powerful casino owner and drug dealer, rules with ruthless charm and brutality. ANNA, his battered wife of fifteen years, is controlled by Victor the same way. His business associates are not immune to his tactics either - like the high-strung Buenos Aires drug dealer GIOVANNI RUSSO. Victor is convinced that his employees are under his thumb, too; including his most-trusted, MICHAEL and the loyal but deadly CHRISTINA. But Victor gets his comeuppance when Anna finally can no longer take his abuse.
This film will most likely receive a PG-13 or R rating as there is some nudity and some language.

Characters
VICTOR BELLOWS- Handsome, distinguished looking, wealthy, powerful, capable of charm and ruthless brutality, psychopathic beneath his cultured facade, Victor is a casino owner and high-level drug kingpin who owns an apparently vast empire. Married to Anna for fifteen years, Victor mentally and physically abuses his wife and keeps her a virtual prisoner, gloating over his power to keep her from any kind of happiness. Deftly wielding his power both domestically and with his new business associate, Giovanni Russo, Victor is confident that his employees are loyal since he keeps them in a state of active fear as well. However, he doesn't take into account Anna's own power, and winds up a victim of his own deadly game...LEAD Pay rate- $7,500 flat rate
MICHAEL- Is a younger guy (late 20's early 30's) that is working as a "strong arm" and in this case a trusted bodyguard for Victor. He's rough around the edges, comes off as sort of a 'thug" at first, but as we get to know him, he's smart and has a heart of gold. He also falls in love with Anna, of course, and you know the rest of the story. LEAD Pay rate is $5,000 flat rate
CHRISTINA- This beautiful young woman is an accomplished soldier who winds up working for the ruthless Victor as an assassin. Intelligent, confident, sensual, Christina connects with Anna, and the two women realize there's a definite sexual chemistry between them. Though she's ordered by Victor to spy on the unfaithful Anna and ultimately kill her, Christina is part of the clever, intricate plot to give Victor a taste of his own medicine...LEAD Pay rate is $3,900 flat rate
GIOVANNI RUSSO- A wealthy, powerful, high level Argentinean drug dealer/businessman, authoritative, arrogant, with a refined Spanish accent, obsessed with Napoleon (to whom he frequently alludes), bad-tempered, Giovanni is a difficult man who has a long-standing business arrangement with Victor in the heroin market. Giovanni has some tempestuous dealings with Victor over the years and gives Victor an ultimatum when he believes some of Victor's men have been stealing from them. He apparently isn't well liked by the people who work with and for him, and he's ultimately killed by Victor...LEAD Pay rate is $3,200 flat rate
MARGARET- Victor's mother, wheelchair-bound in a nursing home, she's a querulous, bad-tempered old woman who's obviously struggling with memory loss.

What hiring casting clients look for in actors and models!
With 25 years experience and as President of the Craze Modeling and Talent Agency booking 1000's of models and actors, here are some of the most important tips that hiring client's look for when booking talent for paid speaking roles or modeling assignments!
1- Polish- The talent must be polished and confident enough to do the job with little or no direction if needed.
2- Experience-Does your portfolio or resume show you have worked and trained successfully in the past?
3- First impression-Often they have to make a hiring decision within 30-60 seconds. If they cast you and they have not worked with you before they are taking an educated risk. A good impression is made by being early, prepared, looking like a professional and having amazing charisma!
4-Can you think quick on your feet? Sign of an experienced professional. Can you make the adjustments they ask for?
5-Are you worth the money they are paying? If the client is going to pay a rate of $400-$1500 a day, you must show them you are worth it. They have to account for every dollar spent.
6-Originality-When auditioning many models or actors it becomes hard to differentiate between each talent. You need to make a creative statement and lasting impression within the context of the project.
7-Be prepared to be uncomfortable. It is natural not to feel natural. (That is why it is important to constantly be practicing and training).
8-When you first get into the acting business, go to every audition that you fit the profile on regardless if it is a lower or non-paying project. This business is all about networking and exposure.
9-Ability takes time. Be patient with yourself and your agent.
10-You can spot an experienced Model or Actor a mile away. You cannot fake it!
11-Keep your sides after every acting audition, sometimes it can take weeks for the callbacks to occur.
12-Keep a journal and detailed notes on all of the auditions you attend. Track what happened, how you did, things that worked and things you need work on. Note how you adjusted to each audition, who you met with, etc.
13-When you book a job, always make a note on what the project was, what part you played and who the production company, casting director or client was. Update your resume and make copies for your agent and yourself. That may land you your next job.
14-Pay you agents commission ASAP, they really do notice who pays quickly and will send you out more often. After all it is a business.
15-Never get discouraged. That is why most Actors and Models fail!
Circle yourself with positive people who are also in the industry or support you in your passion.
16-Always aim to become the best Actor or Model in the entire world.
It takes that kind of mental approach and dedication to achieve results in this competitive
Always remember these tips and your chance of obtaining success will dramatically increase. The Craze Agency is here to help! If you would like more Information about us call 801-438-0067 or go to www.crazeagency.com

Key modeling and acting tips!
1- When you are booked for any job write down the director, producer, casting director, TV Network etc... You need this info. For your resume. Also remember the part you played. (If it was extra work you must put that in a separate Extra category not acting). Always update your resume the day you do the project. You would not believe the amount of work people lose out on because their resumes are not updated.
2- To insure payment when you are booked on a job, please remember to bring appropriate ID and fill out all forms legibly and correctly. Also keep track of the dates you work and what job it was just in case.
3- Keep your look close to the photos your agent uses to promote you, or you must update the photos. Clients really get upset when you do not match your photo or if we send you out to meet them and you have gained or lost weight, have longer hair or a different color we could lose that client permanently.
4- Never say a negative word on set. Even among fellow actors or models. Even about other agencies. It never helps you or us in the long run! Let's take the high road even though many people and agencies don't.
5- A successful Modeling and Acting career is like any other career it takes time, persistence, dedication, knowledge, skill and patience!
6- Many National Clients take time to pay you, even when your agent bills them with a 30 day voucher. We all hate it as bad as you do, (we all have bills to pay). Often they have 2-3 clients they bill to get you paid. Legitimate agents will do everything in their power to collect, but it has always been that way and will probably never change with the big national companies. They know they get a lot of people work so if you harass them too much the client will just use someone else.
7- Do not accept an audition unless you are 100% sure you can make it and be on time. Usually agents are limited in the time slots we have and we do not have time to replace you. We also give the casting director a list the night before and they will too be busy the next day of the audition for us to schedule someone else with them. They just figure you are unreliable.
8- No matter how you feel inside you have to portray self confidence when you are interviewed. Clients never hire people who let them know they are new at this or who are not a polished finished product.
9- Don't show it or be shocked if the audition is not what you visualized. A pro expects it to always be different and is ready to make quick on the spot adjustments. They almost want it to be tough because they know the amateur will let it affect them. Half of success in this business is

Being very adaptable on the fly. That is why it takes training and experience for many of the jobs.
10- Always just have fun with this business. Clients love to be around smiling, funny, happy people. Many actors, models get too serious when they audition because they feel the pressure.
11- If a client ask you what your rate is say, call my agent or let us know. That is our job and we will make sure to get documents signed if needed and get you the best rate possible for that type of project. Usually clients that do not want to initially go through agents will either never pay or low ball you or work in an unprofessional manner. Plus you are responsible to let the agency know about these projects.
12- If you need an agent research the Better Business Bureau, call your local Film Commission and ask casting directors who they use. If you live in the western U.S. except California contact the Craze Agency 801-438-0067, www.crazeagency.com
