On a headshot, I like to see one close-up picture and one long shot. Secondly, I like to see your special skills. Anything that makes you stand out. I might need to know that you can stand on your head for five minutes. It really shouldn't.
Talent is talent.
But, there are going to be more opportunities for you to show that talent in cities that have a greater level of production, like NYC, LA, Atlanta, Toronto, or Vancouver. One point I'd like to make to everyone is that not every opportunity is in front of the camera. There are several positions where African Americans are underrepresented behind the scenes. I urge people to look into those positions because it may be where your true passion lies. Figure out what you want to do in the movie industry.
