Spotlight – change to performer membership criteria

From Lauren McKinnon, Head of Membership at Spotlight. Please contact her directly if you have any queries on: lauren.mckinnon@spotlight.com

Dear Agents,

We wanted to advise you about a change to our performer membership criteria, that may benefit your clients.

Spotlight will now accept qualifying short film credits as part of the four professional credits required to be eligible for Spotlight membership.

We know that many actors gain valuable experience when working in high quality short films, and many people in the industry have asked us to reflect this in our membership criteria. This change recognises that experience and the fact that performers may take many different routes to develop the experience required of a professional actor. We hope that this will allow a more diverse pool of talent to start a career in the industry.

If you have clients who you feel may now meet the criteria for Spotlight membership, please go to our website to check the full qualifying criteria.

If you have any questions about this change, please get in touch with Lauren McKinnon, Head of Membership at Spotlight on lauren.mckinnon@spotlight.com
