Stephen Stallone on making your own work and using it to market yourself to the right people.

Stephen is a London based Actor/commercial model. Since completing training at Kingdom School of Arts 2014/2015 he has gone onto perform at the Arcola theatre London, The Courtyard theatre in ‘Undercover’, and Brookside theatre in ‘The Buddy Holly Story’.

He has previously been cast as Detective Douglas in CBS network show Killer Cops and most recently in Feature film ‘The Stranger In My Bed’ Directed by Giles Alderson due for nationwide release at the end of the year.

Prior to this his latest short film ‘Unwashed’ which he wrote and produced has just won an Award for Best Cinematography (London International Film Festival).

In this weeks episode we talk about the way he used his short film to market himself to casting directors while it was still doing the rounds at festivals. Which for anyone who has produced their own work and thought “I cant do anything with this until festival have finished” THINK AGAIN. It was really interesting to hear his thoughts on how to get in front of the right people. We also talk about how he has been approached directly by an agent in the USA, pretty unexpectedly and what that now means for him and his family.

I hope you enjoy this weeks conversation with Stephen and as always, good luck on your journey to making it.
