Gemma Regis is a big time scam artist. She's very good at what she does and has a lot of knowledge of the business. She goes to Talent Agency offices and pulls your child's picture as they were not chosen to be auditioned. She calls you and will pressure you in a fast pace have to be done now Personality. She will tell you your child's head shots are not the best and you should take more pictures charging from $7 & 800.00 maybe more. She sends you to her own photographer whom only charges $450 the rest goes to her.
She will also offer you acting classes at $350 for up to 5 weeks that she teaches and once the class is over she will say your child needs more time. So you spend more money she pockets all this money to pay her own bills. She knows people in the business. She will go as far as to setting your child up on an audition with a physical up and running talent agency.
I have paid this women up to $1500 for everything and I have not to this day received my child's headshots or proofs because she claims they are in the LAB. She will not allow you to go to this lab and pay for the pictures.instead, you have to pay her and she will get them for you.
When I would not pay her to pick up the pictures I started to receive several harrasing back to back phone calls from this women calling me names trying to degrade my character, and saying I owe her money, etc. When I simply wanted to pay for the pictures at the LAB. I've given her numerous times to send my child's proofs & negatives. BEWARE she will tell you she has the copyrights to the negatives and will say, "out of the goodness of her heart she will give them to you".
It's been since July O6 and I have not heard or received any pictures from this women. I am currently taking this to court to get a court order for her to release the pictures to me. If she has written you any receipts keep them for your records. She will be caught one day! She has a very strong intimidating peronsality and will scare you into doing what she asks. She takes advantage of the lack of knowledge in the entertainment industry.
People please don't be caught up with this women I don't want to see someone else going through this. As far as the agencies, photographers, casting directors, etc and other named artists in this business before dealing with her check her out first she will use you and unsuspecting parents or young adults that are pursuing their career.
