Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
SAY NO TO AUDITIONS... they will leave you drained of your money . your children will be hurt emotionally and if they are old enough they will be left with feelings of guilt due to the facts that their parents have lost the family savings because they took a chance with this company for the sake of building a promising future for the child and his or hers desire to be like the children they watch in the movies and the hopes of meeting some of the child actors. the dude that took the check for my grand daughters training showed this little six year old child a picture on his cell phone of himself with mitchel musso ( the young man that plays the part of oliver on hannah montana show) his name is Zack Annous and claims to be a male model out of Paris and kept going on and on with oceanna about how he was sure she would have no problem getting snapped up for jobs and he was so excited that he would be able to claim her discovery as he did with mitchel musso and he looked forward to introducing her to mitchel as well as others he had discovered like a lot of the cast of high school musical and lots of other disney movies. how does somebody sit there and lie to a little girl in such a way knowing he is building her up for such a let down. she has been victimized and has watched her mother and grandmother be victimized. this is child exploitation. and another issue is where are the pictures of all the children. these scoundrels also have pictures of thousands of children. and also their personal imformation. i feel like we have to relocate so they wont know where we live. how many child predators are in with this bunch of criminals, and now know where the children attend school. they have pictures to become familiar with the faces to go with the names. they have even met these children and the parents have eased the minds of the children when introducing them to these people so as to not be nervous during interviews. my God it makes me feel like we have set our own children up for who knows what. i am so sick over this. i have cried and then i get angry and then i cry some more. i can't sleep a decent night sleep now. what is to follow this? we were so excited for oceanna and now i am terrified for her. i am heartbroken for her and her mother and all the other families that have been taken advantage of via the love and hopes for their children. this is a real vile bunch to set families up like this. and by the way for all the people that don't understand why so many have haned over so much money, well they had fake web sites set up , they gave out booklets with lots of pictures of well known actors speaking on their behalf. they had speakers at the auditions claiming to be representatives of actors like mario lopez from saved by the bell and america can dance show. they had a lady by the name of brandi gold claiming to be the sister of actress tracy gold and she was the one sitting in on the screen test. one of the main speakers went by the name kathy eisner and she claimed to have worked directly with brad pitt and tom cruise and many others. these people made it very believeable from setting appointments to advertising over the radio and claimed to be only accepting the first 200 callers for appointments but yet when we get there it is more like close to a thousand potential clients (per day) and their answer for so many is they just had such an overwhelming response that they just couldn't turn away the children so they had extended the auditions. they claimed to be very active with placing children in rolls for disney. they are pro criminal pro scammers, at committing fraud and their main victims are your children, our children... please help put a stop to this crime against children and their families. thanks for reading and may GOD be with us

Hey Tonya George and Misty, this is Zack. This has been a horrific nightmare for all the employees, the agents and everyone we have worked with so far and the worst part is that we didn't even see it coming. It was a disturbing and destroying shock to all of us and especially the kids, their parents and the employees. The owner Stanely Robinson has filed bankruptcy and they shut down all our phones and e-mails, so we can't contact any of the parents and we don't have access to a database or anything. We're all trying to connect online. Tonya please don't worry about all the little details and ruin your life and live in fear and move to make sure that your granddaughter is safe. I don't believe that the pictures or the information is what you should worry about; getting your money back like all the other parents should be your priority, join them with the lawsuit.

I too was caught in this scam. I am from lakeland, fl. Classes were supposed to be held in Tampa last Sunday May 31st but when we arrived the only thing there were cards saying they had been bought out. We called all the numbers given to us by the "ACADEMY" But all there was, was a recording that said the same thing as the e-mail that was sent out, that we happened to get about an hour after the classes were supposed to start. Join our fight, and go to the blogspot, and register under Contact info and you will be put on the email list and included in all news and lawsuit info. http://pacificmodelingandacting.blogspot.com Or contact me with what you are doing to fight these people.
