[NEohioPAL] Feedback Needed!

[Xinakes at aol.com]

Is there anyone familiar with or paid for workshops  with "A.C.T", the 
Academy of Cinema and TV.  They discover  and launch Actors, Singers, Dancers into 
Commercials, TV & Film.  
 
They recently blazed through Cleveland looking for talented kids age  6-16.  
They boast their connections w/ MGM, 20th Century Fox, ABC Family as  well as 
major casting directors and agents.  After sifting through about a  thousand 
kids they call back about 75 "who have potential" and then trim the  group 
again.  Then they "suggest" workshops to attend with industry  professionals who 
fly in once a month to conduct them just for the chosen kids  in Cleveland.  
They stress "talent potential,"  "committment" and  "readiness to be launched."  
 
Their worksops start at $1,950 and go up.  Anyone know if they  successful 
beyond the glossy brochures and claims?  Is this expensive in  the industry?  
Anyone know if the workshops are good or actually launched  them into the 
business? Their website is _www.academyofcinemaandtv.com_ 
(http://www.academyofcinemaandtv.com) .  Hugh Ridell is the National Director.
 
Much appreciate feedback on ACT, their workshops, professional  business 
acumen and their true success stories.  
Thank you
JX
