If you're not driving yet then you should wait!. If you are driving then go for it, the commute is a lot, but you'll probably be compensated enough to cover gas costs and have money leftover!. In the meantime, look on craigslist or in the paper for local films/commercials being made, or local plays that are casting, and go for those!. You wont always make money but you'll get a lot of experience and have something to build up a resume' with!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
