Who called from 4152876734

How can you say  has anyone else who was scammed and you weren't scammed. Your not even signed up with HNE castings. I think you should really watch slander (it's illegal).  They are not asking for fee,  you have to print comp cards (you can print them yourself and they will represent you) If printing your self you just have to let them design it. I printed myself but i own a printing company.  Hne Castings is a solid company, I have informed them about the slander on this website

This is what I know. I did go to the website sometime in october 08. They did contact me telling me that they would make me comp card to distribute to reality casting producers/agents. It would cost somewhere around $300.00. Then if you do get on a show and win money they get 10%. I didn't do it and didn't reply to any of their voice mails he left me in Nov into Dec 08. I figured I could apply myself to the same show's and Keep what ever money I won. This is the bully style email I received this month Jan 09, I'm glad I didn't spend any money. I found it very unprofessional:  
I have attempted to contact you by email and telephone. you had originally signed up on Hollywood North Entertainments' web site and after repeated attempts I must assume you are not really ready for Reality TV. We receive over 1500 applications a day and work directly for all of the major networks casting over 300 shows, unfortunately we need talent that is accessible and dependable. I assume you are not interested  and will remove your name from our lists meaning your chances of getting onto reality tv no longer exist. Unfortunately, you have missed a great opportunity.

Hello all,


My name is Shawn Mitchell.  I'm the CEO of HNE Castings.  It never ceases to amaze me how people offer up opinions like they are fact.

Here are the facts:

HNE uses industry standard comp/talent cards to market individuals that they have selected or deemed a high percentage cast within the Reality TV genre.

HNE provides the creative work for these cards free of charge.

The client is responsible for the print production of these cards.  They have the option to outsource the prints on their end, or use a recommended print company by HNE.

HNE does not profit one cent from the print production of the cards.  They outsource the prints to a third party vendor.

HNE does not make a dime until they find work for their clients.  They recieve a 15% commission on any income securing opportunities that they provide for their clients.

Therefore, if HNE does not provide their clients with work they LOOSE money!!!!!  If it was a scam, it would be the dumbest scam in the history of the world.

If your going to offer an opinion or answer someones question, at least have the decency to do your due dilligence or have some knowledge in what you are talking about.  They say ignorance is bliss, but not when your ignorance affects others.

I'm always available to answer any inquiries one may have.

Sincerely,


Shawn Mitchell
