Donald F. Glut
CONFIRMED!

While in his early teens, Chicago native Donald F. Glut made amateur movies.  These movies were so good that they caught the attention of a number of people in the industry.  Don's films played in theatres, they aired on television, and they inspired many people to enter the film business - people such as the legendary John Carpenter, whose quote was "I wanted to be like Don Glut!" 

Don went on to become internationally-known as a writer.  He wrote many, many stories for Marvel Comics. The New York Times #1 Best Selling Author wrote, for example, "The Empire Strikes Back" novel, "Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia", and hundreds of additional stories, books, and articles.  If you put his name in a search engine, you'll find over 12,000 references to "Don Glut," and over 33,000 to "Donald F. Glut."

After achieving world-wide success as a writer, Don decided to embrace his passion for producing and directing.  No more amateur movies, it was time to go pro.  Along with two partners, Don formed Frontline Entertainment, of which he is President.  At least 18 completed projects have come from Front Line so far, including "Dinosaur Valley Girls" starring Karen Black, the project The Hollywood Reporter named 'news item of the week'.  Don has hired over 40 actors whom he met at seminar events --  including a starring role in a SAG film for an actor who had never done a starring role before.  Don is going to be appearing as a featured speaker this Sunday afternoon at another special seminar event.  He will soon be looking for talent for his next film.  And, you are invited to attend.

Like the vast majority of producers, Don hires people he knows.  He can't hire you if he doesn't know you exist.  So, you have two ways to now be brought to the attention of Mr. Donald F. Glut:  (1) By far the best way, if at all possible, is to attend the seminar this Sunday afternoon, say Hello to Don, and hand him your photo and resume.  -- or --  (2)  If you absolutely cannot be there Sunday to meet this extraordinarily well-connected personality, at least mail him your photo and resume.


Donald F. Glut (CONFIRMED) A very well-connected producer/director, Don's origins in the industry go back to U.S.C. film school with George Lucas. The man who wrote "The Empire Strikes Back" novel, and President of Frontline Entertainment, Don's "DVG" feature (starring Karen Black) and was 'news item of the week' in the Hollywood Reporter.  The sequel will shoot next year.   During the past few years, Don has produced and directed five feature films, including the SAG film "The Vampire Hunter's Club", "Scarlet Countess" (which had it's premiere private screening at Sony Studios), "The Mummy's Kiss", "The Mummy's Kiss: 2nd Dynasty" (the sequel) and "Crimson Tears" (aka "Countess Dracula's Orgy of Blood").    His latest film, "Blood Scarab,"  enjoyed a double world premiere (Los Angeles and Chicago).  This is an excellent opportunity to hand your photo and resume to a very active film producer.  You can also find additional information on Don at these sites:  http://www.donaldfglut.com and http://www.frontlinefilms.com.  An expert on dinosaurs and horror movies, Don's TOPICS will include:

The Importance of Networking & Knowing The Right People

Who The "Right" People Are

 "The Art & Science of Networking in the Entertainment Industry"

Professionals in the entertainment industry must network in order to become successful.  They must network in order to remain successful  This is an absolutely amazing seminar event taught by active entertainment industry professionals.  If you live in the greater Los Angeles area, you run into people who can hire you every day.  Learn how to recognize them, what to say to them, and how to follow-up so they will want to hire you.  Learn what professional networking events are open to you -- networking events where you can meet producers (the people who hire and fire everybody) -- and there are multiple networking events going on every day.  Learn how to research these people, how and where to meet them in a professional businesslike atmosphere, how to design and utilize a "tickle" file to stay in touch with them, and much more.  And, if you really want to make the most of this opportunity, here are a few suggestions:

  1. Bring photos and resumes for the producers.  Approximately 50 actors have been hired as a result of meeting producers at these events.
  2. Bring a tape recorder if you're not great at taking notes.  There will be a great deal of insight and "inside" information shared with you on Saturday.
  3. Make a list of all the movies and TV shows you've seen in the last five years that you thought were extraordinary.
  4. See if you can find the names of the producers of those projects; then see how many current addresses you can find of those producers.  Don't worry if you don't have total success.  You'll learn how to do this quickly and easily at the seminar.
  5. Make a list of the producers and directors with whom you'd like to work.  You'll learn how to contact and approach them at Sunday's seminar.
  6. Dress professionally, as though you'll be meeting people who can hire you -- because you will.
  7. Share this information with your actor friends.  Invite them to attend.  One thing you will be taught is the necessity of having a support system in achieving major success quickly -- the greatest amount of success in the least amount of time (and how to totally enjoy the journey).
  8. Please be on time.  The doors open at 1:45 PM, and we begin at 2:00 PM.  It's better to be late than not to attend at all.  However, it's much better to be at least a few minutes early.  The producers will be impressed by your professionalism.
  9. Sign in when you arrive, take a free 13-page "Success Tips" booklet (or download it now), make a Nametag for yourself, take a seat, and get ready for an amazing career-boosting 2+ hour seminar event!
  10. Be sure to register for the drawing.  We often give away wonderful and valuable prizes at the seminar events.

You'll be amazed at the amount of usable knowledge you gain at this event.
