Aloha Focus Talent
With the new and exiting changes coming our way this year,
we thought it would be a great opportunity to express our gratitude for the
amazing talent we have in our midst. We want to provide valuable information
to those interested in becoming a part of our agency. Moreover, we want our
talent to understand our philosophy so that we can better assist you in
obtaining work. We would love nothing more than to make each and everyone of
you a superstar, but the reality is this is a competitive business, and we
want to make sure our talent are prepared to work hard and maintain some
perspective. Most importantly, to know you have a knowledgeable and
dedicated staff behind you.
First, we would like to clear up any misconceptions
regarding our agency. We are primarily a lifestyle agency. Basically what
that means is that we choose models who help fill the needs of our clients,
locally, nationally, and internationally. Our looks need to be diverse, all
heights and ages. The potential of each of our models are not only dictated
by our client needs, but by the motivation and participation of our talent.
While we can help models with training, networking, websites and
scholarships, we are by no means the end all.
Those who think you don't need anything but Polaroid
pictures to send to an agency are sorely mistaken. That Polaroid/digital may
get you into the front door of a top agency, but there is a tremendous
amount of work and effort that goes into the making of a super model....and
frankly, that costs money. For some reason there is this confusion that
models don't have to invest in their career, that it will somehow magically
manifest. Yet, if you want to be an actor or dancer or anything else for
that matter, you have to invest in years and money into developing your
career. Just because there isn't a degree involved in learning and investing
in your craft, doesn't make it any less valuable, nor is it any less costly.
The model WILL pay whether on the back end and/or immediately with
photographers, books, clothing, travel etc.. There are the rare thoroughbred
beauties that are 5'9" and above, who may have more opportunities
available to them; but even those models are turned down time and time again
before they achieve experience, refine their look, and develop their book.
That being said, we are living on a rock in the middle of
the Pacific and while we have a tremendous amount of hits on our website,
getting the work here in Hawaii can be challenging. We are providing a
service, just like any other business. We create and provide training and
exposure for our talent which would not otherwise be available on an
national or international level.
We realize we are only as strong as our talent, so
it only makes sense for us to focus on the quality of our programs,
seminars, our website, and our ability to get our talent the work. It is
however, the responsibility of our talent to be ready, trained and prepared
for the opportunities that arise.
Mahalo Focus Team !

"The River,"
a new ABC series starring Bruce Greenwood as a wildlife expert who goes
missing in the Amazon, is relocating to Hawaii.
"The River," an
ABC television show described as an adventure-mystery set in the Amazon
jungle, is relocating production to Hawaii, network representatives said.
The pilot for the show,
which stars Bruce Greenwood as a wildlife expert and TV host who goes
missing, was shot in Puerto Rico, but plans to move to Hawaii had been
rumored in March. Network spokeswoman Erin Felentzer confirmed the move
today, adding that shooting will begin in August with the series premiere
scheduled for midseason.
"The River"
stars Greenwood as Dr. Emmet Cole, who travels the world to film a popular
nature television show. He goes missing in the Amazon, and his family,
friends and crew set out to find him. "The shocking truth about his
disappearance is out there, somewhere, just waiting to be discovered,"
says a statement released by Felentzer.
The show co-stars Joe
Anderson as Cole's son, Lincoln, who has a strained relationship with his
father, and Leslie Hope as Cole's wife Tess, who convinces Lincoln to join
the search. Paul Blackthorne, Eloise Mumford and Daniel Zacapa star as
Cole's filmmaking crew who are recording the search, and Thomas Kretschmann
is the group's bodyguard.
The show's executive
producers are Michael Green, Oren Peli (creator of "Paranormal
Activity"), Zack Estrin, Jason Blum and Steven Schneider.
Felentzer said the show
will use the same stage settings as "Off the Map," the ABC medical
drama that was canceled after one season.
"The River"
joins "Hawaii Five-0" as the two television series shooting here
in Hawaii.

HAWAII WITH FOCUS-ONLINE
MAGAZINE !


Workshop Photoshoots:
Focus is offering (8 or more) workshop
"photoshoots" per year @ Local Photographers. No cost to the
models for the photographer-if you're interested in purchasing images -
cost per photo is $20 each. These purchased images can go up on model
websites at no charge- (Two website changes per year at no charge). Mahalo
!
Portfolio:
DO's
use images that you can be readily seen - in focus, light enough, etc.
use images that vary your expressions - smile, no smile, etc.
Don'ts
don't use images which have other people in the image (unless a
well-known tear-sheet or photo's being used in a "couple or
family" category).
don't use images which are just repeats of another image (quality over
quantity)
don't use swimsuit shots in which your body is not being shown at it's
best
don't use images that you know are not showing you well, just to have
more images
marketing yourself is important to both yourself and Focus
Use "quality over quantity" as your guide to choosing only the
"best"
images to market yourself.
