Well- we just sent out the worldwide call for submissions & live auditions email for the 2009 SFHHDF. The word is out!
It is being circulated all over the world. Now I must sit and wait for the magic to come.
Last year I received submissions from ALL over the world!
I never know what may come my way-
there is always something that is so exciting and new that not many people have heard of around here. Thats what I love to find.
and then share with you of course-
Just a bit of advice- if you are a company that wants to send a submission- do it sooner than later! Dont wait till the deadline! The show may possibly booked if you wait too late.
If you are a local company- Its fine to set a live audition time and date- the deadline does not apply to the live auditions- they will be held in september.
so if you want to pass this along - here is the info---
Love and Respect
