FFT MODELS
“Absolutely hands down one of the best events for Children, Teens and Adults to gain a wealth of knowledge and experience about the world of Acting and Modeling. The coordinators run a very smooth and free flowing and professional event. The caliber of participants and their talent are always very engaging and eager to learn while at the same time hopefully having a positive, informative and most important fun time. Beneficial to both the participants and their parents alike.”

“CMTC is one of the most organized events I’ve been to. From the moment I was invited, every detail of the event was in place. If there were any changes we were alerted right away. The first night I met Audra and her staff, I knew right away I was going to enjoy myself. The entire staff and volunteers at CMTC were very accommodating and treated all the VIPs professionally. The best part of CMTC is seeing the contestants and hopefully finding future Stars in the making. The contestants seemed to have a great time and I hope their experience was beneficial. There was a lot of information to learn and take in, that’s why we as Talent Reps are there. To provide the best information and advice from our years in the bizness. And its a great way for us to find great talent. Looking forward to many events at CMTC.”

SELECT
“I attended CMTC for the first time recently as an agent from Select Models out of our Los Angeles. I always find searches like this to be such a great opportunity for us agents to be able to meet models from various locations (some very remote) in one place all at once. This event is so well coordinated which I know we agents appreciate. The talent pool is so interesting and diverse. I met a few models that we either expressed interest in signing on the spot or made plans to follow up with after some additional development. I hope to have the opportunity to attend the next one!”
