What do you say to an actor who demands you give them all the shots from a session (headshots) on CD THIS INSTANT!  (I know what I say, I just want to hear your answers.)

I had so many answer to that as I'm a director most of which were not very nice.

If I wear in this sitiuation I'd calmly tell them if they wanted any at all they'll have to wait as you might have people before them, and also that as an actor they should know that a head shot is a first inpression and they wouldnt want unedited work fired onto there portolio.


That stuck a nerve! can you tell!

I'd say, "No, sorry - that's not how it works."

After you stop laughing, I would go with the see that agreement line above.

All mine have a number of shots (usually a range) and a before or by date field.
