Dear Mary, and other fellow  "actors",
    Thank you for your  resume to Neopal disguised as outrage over our very 
successful  meeting.
 
    Mary - READ OVER YOUR  OWN LETTER and then ask yourself why you are not a 
SAG member after all these  years,  - approaching the business your way.
   Funny, my method of never selling  myself short made me an AFTRA member 
after about 6 months of becoming a  professional actor, and a SAG member after 
about 5 years.
   YOU may not care that  clients are running your commercials potentially 
FOREVER,  but  obviously SAG signatories do.
So, for all you new talent out there, I guess  it's your choice how to 
approach the business. We, as working actors are just  trying to help you not get 
caught in a vicious cycle of working for little to  nothing with no promise for 
your future.
Our effort is to lift up our occupation  so  that people like Mary won't 
spend their lives hoping to become SAG and be paid  well.
I do free projects for artistic reasons, and for  my friends who do not 
intend to make a profit off of me. 
We want this movement to be positive. It may not  always be pretty, because 
we are fighting some myopic views about the worth of  talent. Stay tuned for 
our progress on just one major breakthrough on a recent  call for free actors.
                                                                              
                     -Shelly Marks
