Minor Mogul resources
It is strangely difficult to find resources that do not assume that every creator is trying to break in to the Hollywood movie-making industry. The Minor Mogul has to infer and read between the lines, but knowledge is there to help creators make movies independently.
To submit a resource, please see Minor Mogul’s contact information.

Vancouver Actors Guide
Founded in 1998, the self-christened VAG calls itself “The original free resource for the Vancouver acting community” — screen, stage, and audio. You can browse the list of auditions, or submit your own project if you seek actors. Find classes, agents, headshot photographers, and other resources. If you want to be an actor, but don’t know where to start, this website has introductory articles on every aspect of acting as a career. Sign up for the weekly e-newsletter to keep current.
Really, if you want to be an actor in Vancouver, you should check out this site regularly.

Crafty “presents snack-sized stories, both narrative and nonfiction, with an emphasis on heart and humanity. We host these stories on our YouTube Channel.”
One thing I don’t see any mention of is payment. So they’re going to take your movie and put it on their Channel, and monetize that Channel, and keep all the money from that Channel. You are giving them your work so they can make money from it.
