A LETTER FROM IMAGES DIRECTOR
Dear Model and Potential Subscriber, I guess when somebody wants more information. They want to know more about the company they are dealing with, and more info about the quality of service the company offers. My name is Daniel Bruening, I am the CEO of Prestige Entertainment Corporation, the parent company of The Images Agency, which is the operator of Model Job Board. I've been involved in the modeling industry in one way or another since 1987. That's when I photographed my first model in a rigged up studio in my parent's basement. As I photographed more and more models, and listened to their requests, and often pleas to help them find modeling work. That was when my hobby, combined with my previous entertainment experience lead me into becoming a personal manager and now a full time State Registered Agent. Over the years I used my entertainment connections, and photography skills to lead models to potential jobs. And, through consistent efforts, my models attained small successes here and there. My credits and achievements have been listed and published in the Wisconsin Film Office Production Guide annually going back to 1989. In 1998 I realized I couldn't do the job alone anymore. Way to much work involved to give all my models the attention they deserved. I have since brought in several new business partners, including venture capitalist, John Petroske. There are other smaller investors that are silent and wish to remain annonymous. These people helped form Prestige Entertainment Corporation. The Corporation is a legal entity in the State Of Wisconsin, with stated goals of investing and improving entertaiment related ventures and real property. The combined investment and financial assistance of the corporation has slowly aided in the remodeling of The Images Agency's office space and has guided The Images Agency towards the reopening of our formal office space, which should reopen very soon. In the mean time The Images Agency has continued to assist it's models through a web based environment. These have been achieved in the sharing of email leads, and phone calls to current Images models. Many models have requested us to provide some sort of service that could lead them to possible modeling work. Many said they were willing to pay a small fee for such a service. Through many email discussions with our models we have developed The Images Agency Model Job Board. An online job listing site that provides leads to models to businesses that have traditionally used models as a part of their daily business routine. In this service The Images Agency is only providing leads, contacts and assistance in starting or maintaining your modeling career. The Images Agency is not acting as an agent. That is, we are not doing follow ups, or selling the model to the lead. We are not negotiating fees for time and usage, and we are not collecting any comissions. That is all left up to the model. What we give you with Model Job Board, is a get started in modeling guide and the addresses of job leads to send your composites to. It's up to the model to sell themselves to these business people. The model will have to do the follow ups, and negotiate their own fees. Because these are only leads, there are no guarantees of work. A company may decide to keep you on file and contact you on a later date. Some may send you a letter and say they are not interested in you. That's what agents go through everyday, but, there is always that one lead out there that is interested in what you have to offer, and will give you a phone call and a job offer. That's the business of modeling, chasing leads till you get the job. That's what you will get with Model Job Board. Besides one of the most unique and informative get started in modeling guides, you'll get contacts, and leads in monthly emails. It's up to you, the model, to chase the lead, and turn it into work. Keep in mind it will take time, nothing is instant. But, professionalism and persistance usually pays off in the long run. Keep in mind the leads we will provide are nationwide, so be prepared to travel for work. Of course most talent buyers usually will pay your travel expenses. These leads ARE NOT just a listing of modeling agencies, these leads are the type of companies that agencies usually do business with. The companies that actually HIRE models for work. I hope I have answered your questions, and I wish you luck with the new contacts you will receive through Model Job Board. Respectfully Daniel R. Bruening CEO Prestige Entertainment Corp.
