WHY Discovery Spotlight

1 Exciting Event!
Discovery Spotlight has a proven track record of networking models and talent with the most influential agents, recruiters and casting directors in the entertainment industry. The Expo is much more than just a model and talent showcase though. Beyond the training workshops and networking with show business professionals, the Expo is structured to teach assertiveness and independence, build confidence and self worth, and stress the importance of preparedness and hard work. We truly believe that discovery starts within.

Testimonials
“I think this showcase will break that ice for newcomer actors. The best thing about the [expo] is opportunity for a lot of people in the smaller market[s] trying to make it to Hollywood. A lot of people could get discovered.” —Antwon Tanner, Actor, Moesha, The Parkers, and One Tree Hill
“An event like this gives people an opportunity who may never be discovered to get in a room with a bunch of people who are entertainment professionals, and get to mingle.” —Timothy Woodward, Professional Actor and Director
“There are not many places you are going to be able to come in and see this many agents, casting directors, and others involved in the business in one place.” —Richard Futch, Futch-Mullins Casting
