FREE MEMBERSHIP
We are currently completing an automated membership routine that we expect to be ready during late 2005. To reserve a free membership send us an e-mail at info@OCshowbiz.com and we will send you an e-mail when we are ready to have you sign up. This will entitle you to posting a basic resume for free and gain access to the expanded site. We do not require name, address, telephone number - just a valid e-mail address. We are an opt-in site so you won't be receiving unsolicited e-mails.

The Site
We are currently working on providing the ability for individuals to post resumes and businesses to post "yellow pages information about themselves. Both of these services will be available free as features of basic membership which will also be free. As an all volunteer created site, this is a big step as it takes us beyond the 'simple' html coding we've done to date into database management.

We have all sorts of features planned after that such as event calendars, chat rooms, services for casting and employment agencies, archiving articles and the like. We'll try to add these during the early part of the year. If you have talents in website design, PHP, MySQL and would like to volunteer to help us, please contact Art Kirsch at info@ocshowbiz.com.


Call For Volunteers
We are 100% run and funded by volunteers. We need people to create and be in charge of the content of OCshowbiz.

Right now we have volunteer editors for the Comedy, Creative, Enthusiasts, Film/TV, Music, Performers, Photography, Technicians, Theater and Volunteers. Each of these pages will also need one or more additional volunteers so just let us know what your interests are. If you have an expertise or interest in a particular entertainment art, whether listed here or not, and would like to contribute to or manage a section, write us at info@OCshowbiz.com and let us know about your interests. If you can help us with a financial contribution, it would be greatly appreciated.

In order to make our information more accessible and meaningful to all in our community, especially those of Hispanic and Asian origin, we are desirous of attracting volunteers who are bi-lingual.

It is our hope to encourage periodic get-togethers for like-minded people such as film makers (writers, actors, etc) in part as a support group, but also with the thought that every 6-8 weeks or so we can create and shoot a short video or stage a one act play. This will not be for distribution, just to let people participate in all the facets of creating entertainment, get some practice at various crafts, and network with one another.

Your feedback is what is going to make OCshowbiz a success. Please let us know what you would like this resource to contain at info@OCshowbiz.com.

Membership, Privacy And Civility
Membership: We plan to offer a free membership that will allow you to post your resume or event information and generally have access to the site. Additional features can then be offered at a modest fee such as posting demo videos, a portfolio of headshots, accept advertising, etc. to help offset the cost of the site. We will not require name, address or telephone for basic membership, generally just an email address, screen-name, age and zip code. We will require members to be over 13 years old.

Privacy: We will operate as an Opt-In site. That means we won’t be selling access to our members.

Civility: We reserve the sole and absolute right to determine what will or will not be permitted to appear on our site. We respect that there is a wide range of artistic expression and don’t want to unduly prohibit postings on this site, but we’re not going to tolerate gratuitously crude or abusive language or imagery on our site.
