REPLY TO CHRISTINA TORONTO

In response to this letter, the only reason Mr.Dutton would have taken cash or wad as christina put it, out of his pocket would be to pay for lunch which he often buys his staff lunch. further more if she had any problems in regards to her file she should have contacted Mr.Dutton, he speaks with every client and or anyone else who wants to speak with him..So I do not beleive she made any calls to us regarding her file..All talent knows it could be a few weeks or a few months before getting called for auditions. Every talent gets there headshot mailed out to them whether they are new clients or old...In response to we should be shut down..We have ongoing disney contracts, we have worked with mgm studios, corus ent., buchanan group, just to name a few.. OUr highest # of talent audtions in a month was 97. We are a principal role agency we do not do extra work for film all our talent is suggested and then they have to audition for the role and then they may get booked.

regards

Hi. I just wanted to say that I signed up with Silver Screen Inc. about 6 months ago - I never called them until last month. I paid about $550.00 They never sent me ONE photo, they never called me, they never returned my calls, they acted like telemarketers on the phone just trying to get more money for seminars etc etc.

STEVE DUTTON was very pompous and even went out of his way to show the wad of cash in his pocket during the interview. I think he is the owner, but he had some blonde talking on the company's behalf during the interview. Why haven't they been shut down yet??? - I now see complaints at the

WWW.BBB.COM too!!! Beware of this company all - they only want one thing, and it isn't to help us get into the "industry". They get rich from taking money from most of their hopeful clients. OUCH Yours Truly,

Christina, Toronto, Ontario.

I signed my child up June 2009, have never received a phone call for any auditions. I decided to go on their website and it is gone, I called their number and it is no longer in service. Where is my $$$$$$$$$$? What a scam. He also showed me is money in his pocket (all 100 dollor bills). Where is my $$$$$$

so my kid signed up in december and we were just contacted by another company saying that silver screen is no longer in business, and if we want to continue we have to pay even MORE to work with a new company.

WTF? so he signed my kid knowing he was closing the business 2 weeks later??

THEN, my friend who lives in another town tells me that she found an ad in the paper that is exactly the same as the one we called for screen testing, only the price and number are different.

BASICALLY-- STEVE DUTTON IS STILL WORKING UNDER A DIFFERENT NUMBER AND TRYING TO AVOID GIVING ANY OF US CLIENTS REFUNDS!!!!!!!!!!

His number (in the ad and will get you in contact with Steve Dutton directly, apparently) is 519-940-8815.

For everyone who was robbed by this man, let's ban together and get our money back or sue the hell out of him for screwing us all.

I was represented by Silver Screen before.

First of all this agency is not listed under Actra; therefore they are not legit. Secondly, a talent agent is not to charge up front fees to new talent. They are truly crazy for charging 100s of dollars just to join an agency that does not guarntee work.

SILVER SCREEN ARE SCAMS ARTISTS!

By the way, they do not have an 'ON GOING' contract with Disney! Nikki who is featured as a 'star of the moment' on their website does not even know of the agency. Horace V. Rogers who picture is on the website is not represented by them. The lies, the lies!
