Helpful tip no.1: if you have strong preferences about the types of performers you will not work with make them know at point of booking. Research your fellow scene partners more than a day before the shoot. Don't expect your lack of acceptance to be protected.

Helpful Tip #10. If you have a romantic partner, be sure they support your choices and that they don't make them for you. Never let ANYONE dictate what you can or can't do sexually and with whom. It's always your choice who you work with and who you don't work with.

Helpful Tip #9. Whenever possible, verify your coworker's status through @PASScertified. Not an option?.Ask to see their online test (no print outs) & be sure it's 14 days old or less. You can always require that they (or you) wear protection. Your health & safety comes first!

Helpful Tip #12. Always make sure to pack at least 1 or 2 sets of every "type" of outfit. Especially when traveling because you don't know if the company is going to have to change your call sheet the day of your shoot. Be prepared for anything & you'll be an asset!i
