We have spent nearly a century trying to make another gangster movie this good and some could argue we haven't done it yet. Being released before the Hay's code allows this movie to really speak it's mind and it does. With its loud commentary about the state of the US, strong female characters, sex, openly gay characters and nuance this movie is the perfect reminder of what the code took from us. It's a cliche for a reason, they don't make them like they used to. THE HAYS CODE:  The "Don'ts" (Absolutely Forbidden) Profanity, including "God," "Jesus," or "hell" used irreverently. Nudity, in any form (including silhouettes). Illegal drug use. Sexual perversion (code word for homosexuality, fetishism, etc.). White slavery (human trafficking, especially of white women). Miscegenation (interracial romantic or sexual relationships). Scenes of childbirth, in fact or in silhouette Ridicule of clergy. Willful offense to any nation, race, or creed. The "Be Carefuls" (Sensitive Topics Requiring Caution) Use of firearms. Theft, robbery, and safe-cracking. Brutality and gruesomeness. Techniques of murder. Sympathy for criminals or crime success Adultery, if presented sympathetically or explicitly. Seduction. Sexual relationships outside of marriage. Excessive kissing or lustful embraces. Drunkenness, especially if humorous or sympathetic. Use of liquor in the presence of children. Mocking the law or law enforcement. Revenge in modern times as a moral justification. Surgical operations, unless essential to the plot. Cruelty to animals. Apparent cruelty to children.

Onset Atlanta: https://www.onsetatl.com #PitchChris #Agency850 #ChrisDeBlasio #CelebrityCEO #TheaterActing #FilmActing #Film #Movies On this episode of #PitchChris we're gonna be talking about how do you network on social media? How do you run your day job and side hustle? And how do you convert theater acting to film acting? Hi and welcome to episode 29 of #PitchChris where you guys ask me questions about the entertainment business and I answer them for you. To ask me a question find me on social media at Chris DeBlasio #PitchChris they'll be happy to answer all the questions you guys have. Let's get started. This first question comes from Michael. Let's see what Michaels got. -Hey Chris, Michael DeMaria here from Gulf Breeze Florida on the Emerald Coast. I am a filmmaker and actor here just back from LA and I'm looking to connect with others, possibly to do a web series. And finding other like-minded to cast and crew that might be interested in doing something like a web series. So, I know about Mandy.com Actors Access but I'm interested in other options if you know of any. Thanks so much, have a great day. Hey Michael, so Gulf Breeze Florida is not far from my old stomping ground, Panama City Beach in Destin 30A area. Really do miss those sunsets! So yes you do have Actors Access you have Mandy.com but there's another thing that you can use is social media. If you go on social media you could actually go directly to a director, look at their work and see if it's somebody that you want to work with. See if they might want to collaborate with you on your web series. That would be a great way that you can actually start networking with a director or somebody in the business and leveraging social media. Because if you leverage social media you'll be able to start accessing talent that you may not be able to find a project or something that fits on say Mandy or say Actors Access. You're able to find somebody directly and build a relationship. And what I say all the time
