Support Local Talent - Send Damian to England
Last year, one of Damian’s teachers thought that he would be a fantastic actor. She suggested that he sign up with Actors Access. Damian was signed up and soon after was auditioning for roles. He auditioned for the lead role in a short film called The Difficult Kids being filmed in Toronto and although he didn’t get the lead part he was called back for another role!! He plays David in The Difficult Kids which has since been selected to be in the Toronto Short Film festival.
In April of last year he attended a workshop hosted by Talent INC Canada and was 1 of 8 out of almost 40 attendees selected to participate in the Talent INC Canada Envision 2020 Showcase in Toronto in February. The cost of the showcase was $2400 CAD not including hotel, travel or meals.
He also attended workshops in Sudbury and Sault Ste Marie in preparation for the Showcase. In addition he travelled to North Bay to do background work in The Trickster a TV Series for CBC.
In February he attended the Toronto Showcase and his acting skills were tested. He competed in 5 categories! Casting Directors & Agents from across Canada were judging, scoring & looking for new talent. He received 7 callbacks because of his fantastic performances. Damian received a silver medal (2nd level) score in his age group. He was then selected to represent at the 2020 Showcase in Manchester, England in October. 1 of 11 out of over 200 Showcase participants of all ages!!He received a full scholarship to the Showcase worth over $3200 CAD
Now, we need to get him there! Funds will be used for airfare & accommodations so that he can participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity to represent Sudbury and Canada!! Your support will mean everything to us and will ensure that Damian can pursue his dreams.
