In light of all of this confusion and uncertainty, movie producers find themselves more desperate than ever to discover the next big star of the silver screen. If you have just a little talent and a lot of ambition - well then, you might fit the bill!
Some might say it's a dangerous time to try and make a name for yourself in this business. Nonsense! What's the worst that could happen?
