About Be Free To Choose [befreetochoose.org]

BeFreeToChoose.org is a site designed to inform actors about, and persuade California legislators to fix, AB1318, known as the Krekorian Talent Scam Prevention Act.

As it stands, AB1318 has a chilling effect on actors who want the choice to pay to attend casting workshops and meet potential customers, the casting directors that work in the LA film and television industry.

It also has a chilling effect on workshop and networking companies who organize these classes, and on the casting directors themselves who don’t want to risk running afoul of this poorly constructed law.

We seek to fix this, in particular with the help of the law’s author, Paul Krekorian. Now an LA city councilman, Krekorian managed the passage of this law while a California State assemblyman. We want you to help us, not hurt us, Mr. Krekorian. This site was built especially for you.
