Modelling jobs and more...

"Ellison is only 8 months old so couldn't say in his own words but I could tell he had a really good day, the actors and Director were really nice with him and got through all scenes needed.
This was a first for Ellison and myself and the whole day was enjoyable and seeing him being a good boy while filming made me smile.Ellison had to be a teething toddler in an internal training Video for Tesco that gave examples of how to and how not to deal with customer service in a pharmacy setting.
This assignment, has given me confidence that Ellison interacts extremely well with other Actors/Models and is still happy no matter what the situation.It was a fun day out and gave me a sense of pride and also a nice little bit of money for his savings account for when hes older.
We don't live in or around London so opportunities in acting/modeling there never even come up in this area. Joining an Agency like Models Direct gives us the opportunity to be put forward for exciting opportunities. Models Direct works on your behalf and do the job hunting for you. We have been registered with Models Direct for only a few weeks and he has already had his first job.We signed Ellison up as a bit of fun more than anything. Obviously as his parents we feel he has one of the cutest little faces we have seen :) and would love to flick through pictures or films with him in when he is older. Plus what ever money we get out of this can go into a savings account for when he is older.

1st timeI’d like to start by expressing my genuine appreciation for finally being given the opportunity to take part in the recent commercial shoot for Greene King at Cheadle Hulme. This was my first modeling experience with Models Direct since joining back in 2023, and overall, the day itself was incredibly fulfilling. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of a vibrant set, meeting new people, and contributing to scenes I didn’t expect to be involved in — it truly gave me a glimpse into the potential of what this career could be.
That said, I do feel it’s important to share some honest feedback regarding the process leading up to this point. While I’m grateful for the experience, I can’t ignore the fact that it’s taken nearly three years to receive my first assignment. During this time, I’ve seen others come on board and secure shoots within a couple of months, which has been difficult to witness as someone who’s been committed to the journey since 2023.
I understand that opportunities in this industry can be unpredictable, and that sometimes it’s about timing and fit. However, the wait has been disheartening at times, especially without consistent communication or clarity on how I could have improved my chances. I say this not out of complaint, but out of a sincere desire to be considered more actively moving forward.
The shoot reminded me how much I enjoy this space, and I hope this can be the beginning of more regular opportunities. I’m committed, adaptable, and ready to bring more energy and professionalism to future assignments.
Thank you again for the opportunity — I just hope it won’t take another three years for the next one.
