ACTORS ~ How to find/keep a great Agent! (Skillshare)

Actors, artists, musicians... this is all the information you need to: Best way to find a new agent if you do not have one; If you already have a good agent, this course will ensure that you and your agent are working TOGETHER; Most professional way to "break-up" with your Agent. (Unfortunately happens to most everyone)

If you are looking for a new Agent:
Project A ~ Download the attached documents and follow the step-by-step process for securing a meeting with an Agent and then follow the template for "Meeting with a New Agent".
If you already have an Agent:
Project B ~ Contact your Agent and schedule a meeting as soon as possible. Download the attached files and follow the step-by-step process for "Meeting with Your Current Agent".
NOTE
If your Agent is reluctant to meet with you, or if when you do meet you feel that there is no synergy between the two of you, please watch the two BONUS videos
"Are You Walking Dead with Your Agent"
"How to Serve Notice to Your Agent"
I truly hope you do not need the bonus material. However, it's called "Show Business" for a reason. You are the CEO of your career. In order to succeed you must be willing to take care of YOUR show business.

Understanding Memory: Explaining the Psychology of Memory through Movies (Coursera)

Welcome to Understanding Memory. Someone once said that memory is fascinating because sometimes we forget what we want to remember, sometimes we remember what we want to forget, and sometimes we remember events that never happened or never happened the way we remember them. I want to show you how memory works, why it sometimes fails, and what we can do to enhance it. Based on my recent book – Memory and Movies: What Films Can Teach Us About Memory (MIT Press, 2015) – I will provide an introduction to the scientific study of human memory by focusing on a select group of topics that hold widespread appeal.

微影人的自我修养 (Coursera)

拍微电影,没什么必须要走的路,可以从任何地方起步。但起步之前,需要对拍微电影有个较为正确的认知。 拍微电影,很多人以为是关于“拍”的问题,而实际上,“拍”只是一个关于微电影实现的动作而已,好比露在水面上的冰山上一角,只是冰山庞大山体的很小部分。拍微电影这座冰山,更多的是关于“拍什么”、“怎么拍”这些隐藏在水面之下不为大多数人知道的真正内涵所在。所以,本课程从水面上可见的冰山一角——“拍”开始,逐渐深入水面之下,挖掘“拍什么”、“怎么拍”的问题,揭开冰山的真相。
