Recession Affords Aspiring Actor/Filmmaker Time to Pursue His Passion



While filming a scene with Angelina Jolie and Liev Schreiber in the new movie SALT; Jason Paris realized that the recession was just the push he needed to inspire his career on the BIG SCREEN of worldwide media.

Jason is an Event Manager and Master of Ceremonies for upscale events stretching from Manhattan to Los Angeles. But as markets fell and corporate budgets cut back Jason found himself with more free time on his hands. Time he has decided to use to pursue his passion for Acting, Hosting, and Filmmaking.

Jason has always known his talents go beyond events, but as so many of us experience money obligation and responsibility often lead us down a safer path.

In the past few months, Jason has landed a role as ESU SWAT DIAMOND in the film SALT, won BEST EXPERIMENTAL DOCUMENTARY for his human generosity film titled “BIRTHDAY FREE FOR ALL” at the New York International Independent Film & Video Festival (NYIIFVF), and Created/Produced/Hosted a pilot for a television show called “STEEL EARTH” that focuses on recycling abandoned machines. The best part of all these projects is Jason is funding them with money from selling classic car parts he has collected over the years on EBay.

What does Jason say about waiting till now to make his move? “If you never give up it is impossible to lose. And I would never put a ticking clock to my passions and dreams”.

And as far as his big break, Jason says “There is no such thing as luck. Luck is when opportunity meets preparation. In the events industry we have only one chance to get it right, which makes me prepared for anything.” To find out more about Jason Paris and his film projects visit www. T i L i i .com
