Join us on August 22nd at 8:00pm ET for our Awards Ceremony!! You can view at the STAR Festival Online Facebook Live event or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/user/j1g0u2a8
Join us for the first ever online festival to recognize ACTORS for their expertise and skill in the art of self-tapes. All done online as a professionally-judged event over a three-week period.
WHY: We decided to create something brand new that all actors could be a part of. This is your opportunity to show our judges your skills as an actor. With self-tapes becoming more and more prevalant to our industry, we thought now would be the perfect time to show off your talent and your professional set up.
HOW: You pick the genre, the script and the reader you want to use for this and create your self-tape audition. These should be at least 1 minute in length and no longer than 2:30. Remember to bring your A Game!! Since this is a self-tape, we ask that you record as many as you like and submit your best work!! Choose the genre that fits you the best!!
