Face National Models and Talent
To Whom It May Concern:
I have a response to the letter
Jennifer Gill wrote regarding her agency.
She said: "During a talent search, the potential
models are interviewed."
Last year I went to one of the searches, and signed
a contract. However, I was never interviewed.
When I arrived, and after hearing a guy named Keri speak,
he sat me down and took notes about what I looked like
(in some strange code-like thing that neither I nor my
friend could figure out).
I was never once "interviewed."
Also, in Gill's letter, she says that we can contact
FACE through email (info@facemodels.com). However, over
a month ago, I emailed the agency at this address asking
for a list of references (jobs models have done with
certain companies).
I haven't heard from them yet, and I am skeptical about
hearing from them soon.
Not only are they not returning emails, but Gill mentioned
about the agency moving "to a large downtown office
in Charlotte to accommodate our growing booking team."
I have been signed with them for almost a year now,
and besides never once getting me work, they never informed
me of their address change.
Not only that, but the address on my composite card
is not the same as the agency's current location.
Couldn't this be a problem?
I would appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you!
I think you need to call them. See if they hang up on
you.
Ask the same questions you asked by email over the phone.
Then report back what they say or how they respond.
There are two phone numbers their staff recently provided
with their letters: here and here.
(One is the main number, another has the main number
and an ext. number.)
If you sign a contract with a company after spending
hundreds of dollars (in this case, for photos), you can't
make it an email relationship. It has to involve in-person
and/or by-phone interaction, IMO.
