ScreenPlayLab Networking Tips

This is the reminder that went out last week. Has some tips that I good to remember any time you're networking...

[ScreenPlayLab] REMINDER: Got Your RSVP for Tonight

Hi. Got your RSVP for tonight's mixer. Look forward to seeing you. That's at Sharky's Mexican Grill, in the back room, 435 N. Beverly Dr., Beverly Hills. Monday, August 10th, 6:30pm-9:30pm. Free street parking or park under Crate & Barrel for $3.

ScreenPlayLab is fun and a great place to meet others in the industry. Please bring your most upbeat outgoing self. When networking it's important for everyone to remember that they're creating a first impression of how much fun they'll be to work with. If you encounter anyone engaging in career self-sabotage by being less than positive about their experiences, please let me know right away.

Sometimes people feel unsure what to talk about at a mixer. If that's you, be prepared to talk about some little Hollywood success from your life this week. For example, that could be an audition that you had or that you completed writing some pages of your latest screenplay. How big a success is less important than that you're grateful for your success.

Some people feel shy at first at introducing themselves. If that's you, please seek me out when you arrive so I can introduce you to a few people to get you started. If I look engaged speaking to someone else, don't hang back approaching me. I'm there to talk to everyone. A question I often ask people is, how can I help you?

When you sign in you're also signing our audience release. You can read a copy from the link on our home page. In essence, it says you understand that ScreenPlayLab is a public event. Please don't reveal your secrets at ScreenPlayLab. If you need to discuss something in confidence with someone, arrange a private meeting for later.

Thank you!
