Survival Jobs for Actors is a job board that helps actors find a way to pay the rent, audition, take class, AND have a little fun in the process!
Actors can put up to 5 resumes on the website and use them to apply to jobs that employers post. Actors can also sign up for job alerts – which is an e-mail whenever a job is posted that they would be interested in – either by keyword “catering” or by city.
Employers can search through the resumes on the site, and if they want an actor’s contact information for a specific job, the actor has to approve it, before any contact information is sent out.
Carl Theodor Dreyer’s 1932 classic Vampyr (aka Not Against the Flesh) is one of the most trance-inducing films ever made: less vampire picture than lyrical nightmare.

Vampyr (Film screening), Sunday, October 31, 2010, 2:00 pm at the Frye Art Museum, located on First Hill at 704 Terry Avenue, near Boren Avenue and James Street, steps from downtown Seattle and Capitol Hill. Free parking is available in the parking lot across the street from the entrance on Terry Avenue.
