Did you ever want to become a film makeup artist and be in your local union or were curious as to what the application process is all about?  Elena Miller joins me to talk about her new status as a makeup artist for IATSE Local 798 and her journey along the way!  Elena also is super resourceful in creating her opportunities and she's offering her advice and insight into how to create your own professional opportunities as she was able to quickly find work moving to a brand new market here in Atlanta from Canada.  She has also created her own network of artists on facebook and is very passionate about helping people along their journeys.  Her story inspires me and we had so much fun recording this episode, enjoy Biddies!
