Success Stories

Thanks to StarNow, an amazing swimwear brand found me and now I’m the face of their teen campaign and official brand ambassador as Social Media Coordinator Intern - braces and all! I’ve been cast as lead in two short films and am now auditioning for an acting/dancing role in web series. Happy!

Before signing up for StarNow in 2011, I had little to no experience as a screen actor. It's helped me gain experience in front of a camera, from commercials to small independent films and allowing me to build a suitable showreel to showcase my passion. I have now been signed by a top UK agent and have been cast in a TV show produced by ITV.

I was fortunate to be asked to appear on live television to discuss fundraising techniques for the Leukaemia Foundation of South Australia. Being involved in the Hair & Beauty Industry at the time I took part in the ‘Crop a Cop’ day. I happily shaved the hair off of one of Teatree Gully’s volunteer Police Officers. What a fantastic day for me.

Since signing up to starnow. I have featured in a range of TV Shows from BBC 3's Queer Britain to Channel 4's Selfie Addicts. I have also gathered a fan base of nearly 300,000 followers across my social media platforms helping me to become a social media influencer. Thank you starnow for making this all happen in a blink of an eye.

I shot a short film last December with two talented film-makers, Hannah Rae-Meagan and Monique Terry. Both are students at AFTRS in Sydney. Fantastic script and crew, really insightful and conscientious directing.

After applying to represent NZ at WCOPA 2011 and receiving a raft of gold medals, it put my career back on track. Dreams can become reality, you just need to take the steps to make it happen. I've had a write up in a national magazine & Marlaina's Kitchen FB Page now has 24k followers. 'A Seasoning' will be released 2016.

In just over 2 years I've completed work as a stills photographer on 20 short films, music videos and various modelling assignments. But on set is where my heart lies, in the thick of making films, producing behind the scenes pictures of cast and crew, as well as striking stills. I have worked with some amazing crew and cast along the way.

A great big thank you to StarNow! I have acquired paid TV commercial work for Hampson Hughes and Adopt Northwest. Adopt Northwest was also shown on 'This Morning' and their posters featured on buses around the Northwest. I have gained vast acting experience which has lead to many paid acting roles, and IMDB credits.

From small acorns .. so the saying goes is certainly true when it comes to Sian Francis. First appearing as a zombie in a feature film saw Sian's hunger for more featured, lead and now nurse clinical advisor roles, including 2 Hollywood films whilst gaining agent representation - all thanks to StarNow for being the essential link!

I have only been a member of StarNow for 3 weeks. In that time, I have worked with award-winning and world-renowned photographer, Juliet Taylor and modeled for designer label, 'Marvin'. I'm loving the experience I am gaining and the people I am working with, like professional photographers, makeup artists and stylists.

I found my talent agency on StarNow and am stoked to have landed my first role in a television commercial after my first audition. I also have met other amazing talent through the platform and am about to take a photo shoot with a photographer who found me on here. Love the wide range of opportunities available through StarNow!
