CFAA TESTIMONIALS: ​
​The most important thing I've learned about being a filmmaker in Sacramento is that the CFAA has your back. I'm just getting started with my journey, but at every turn, CFAA has been there with information, connections, and most importantly, encouragement.  ​I highly recommend you join so you don't get left behind. Thanks, CFAA!

Friends, peers, partners and co-conspirators for many years...

What does it take to succeed? Find out all this and more.

Dennis Glasco is an actor, filmmaker, casting session director, acting coach and musician, with experience in the industry that spans over four decades. Many of his students and colleagues have achieved much success in the film, television, commercial and music world. He's been a friend, teacher and mentor to many actors, including our guest.

Chris Holley is a SAG-AFTRA actor who works with Universal Studios Entertainment. His first acting role was an uncredited appearance in the 1995 film Black Panther. He has since appeared in a number of other films including Smokin' Aces, where he appeared as Beanie. He also appeared in the 2010 direct-to-video sequel, Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball. He has had a number of small roles in films like 21, Pride and Glory, and the VOD 2014 film Stretch. He has appeared on a number of television shows including Trauma and Those Who Kill.

Get an inside look at the making of a feature film and what the pair have coming up next. 

Sally Forcier is the region's top casting director and acting instructor - who has successfully ventured into producing in recent years - making her a triple threat! 

Mark S. Allen is an iconic presence in movie entertainment, who has made a name for himself all over the world, but he is investing his time and future in building a film foundation in Sacramento.
