"I had a dream to make a career out of acting and through Studio 24 that dream is being realized. Since signing with Studio 24 in Sacramento I’ve signed with a major agent out of San Francisco, auditioned for Levi’s, Harley Davidson, and Disney, and booked the lead role in a feature film, which I’m currently working on. Without the dedication, professionalism, and reputation that Studio 24 possesses I would have been left with just a dream."
"Each client or talent is given personal attention, training and guidance throughout their journey in this elusive business. If you are lucky enough to get accepted as a student of "Studio 24" jump for joy, you will be part of a very, very special family."
