Epiphani Model & Talent Management recently escorted a group of local children, teens and adults to the 47th annual Millie Lewis Actors Models & Talent Competition. This group had the opportunity to perform in front of top agents, managers, casting directors and record labels.
 
This international event began in 1982 and is recognized as the top convention in the world. It is where agents and casting directors come not only to scout talent, but conduct workshops and seminars to educate families about the fashion and entertainment industries. Over 100 agents come from all over the world, representing Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Milan, Tokyo and more.
 
Makenzie Miller, from Sharpsburg, was one of Epiphani’s most successful clients with 19 callbacks. She placed first in swimsuit and photography and third in runway.

Adrian “Kali” Turner, from Fayetteville, received nine callbacks. He placed high in the TV Commercial and monologue competitions and was the runner up for Overall Child Actor.

The Sandwich family, from Peachtree City, also attended the event. Chris, Lauren and Kimberly Sandwich all placed exceedingly high in their perspective categories.

Madison Horne, from Newnan, was one of Epiphani’s singer/songwriters at the event. She received callbacks and had a personal phone call upon returning home from Dan Keene, vice president of The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and a veteran in Nashville’s music industry.

A New York trip is planned for meetings with agents for Miller, Turner and the Sandwich family. Michelle Lynch, their regional director will attend with them.
