Course Overview

This 1 day seminar style session is aimed at actors who are looking into transitioning into the US market, in particular LA.

If you are unsure on where to start with the US, and how to do it, this day will cover it! This day is going to be filled with lots of information and will give you a better scope of what to expect, and also what steps you need to put in place, here in Australia to make it happen!

Rather than trying to find things online and wondering if you’re on the right path, Kat is a living and breathing example of someone who is doing it and ready to share her journey on how she’s doing it.
