This quote is a reminder that talent alone isn’t enough. Careers are built not just on performance, but on relationships. In other words, it’s not only about connecting with fellow actors, but also with the producers, directors, casting agents and decision makers who create opportunities. For actors, networking isn’t about being transactional but about building genuine professional relationships. The right connection can open doors to auditions, collaborations and long term career growth in ways that skill alone sometimes can’t.

As discussed in the zoom call, here is the link to the Gonsalves cards - a set of card-driven exercises for actors to practice their craft that I've been developed for the last couple of years: Gonsalves Cards by Gonsalves — Kickstarter The pre-launch page is currently up, so you can sign up to be notified when the KS finally launches.

​Hi everyone! I’m Hilary Davis (legally Heidi Hilary Wakeford). I’ve been a fixture in the UK independent film circuit for a while and am now busy working on projects across the US and international markets. ​I’ve had the chance to work on some great features over the years, including Demons at Dawn and The Haunted Studio, where I performed alongside JP Gates and Amber Doig-Thorne. Right now, I’m filming a principal role as Lisa in a new short called Maneater with Too Deep Productions. ​Outside of acting, I’ve been a Juror for the Creative Industry Awards since 2022. I actually co-produced the launch of the awards, which has seen some amazing icons attend and win, including Ashley Walters and more recently Richard Blackwood. ​Looking forward to connecting with you all and seeing what everyone is working on. Happy to be part of the group!
