So you're saying send towards the end of filming instead of when it begins? Ive never thought of that...
Well, every collector handles his request differently. That's just how I handle my VV requests. It's atacually totally up to you. Why don't you try both (sending at the beginning and at the end) and decide later on upon your personal experiences?

It always depends on the celebrity and the venue.

If it's a concert and the artist will only be at the venue for a day or two I make sure my VV request arrives at the venue no later than 2 days prior to the show.

However IMDB aren't great at updating. I would follow the dates set on this site. If you are sending to a movie which films in September I would send in the last week of August :lol:

Hi Sharkie :D

With film sets, you could send a request any time in between filming dates. I would advise that it's best to send off right when they've begun filming to have the best chance of being replied to.

So, if you wanted to send to a specific actor on set, work out when they're filming and address to send your request to. See Current and Upcoming Productions for a list of addresses and dates ... or do your own research.

Then, its just a matter of sending your request off to the set when filming begins ... not before. For example, if filming begins on 1 September, aim to have it arrive after the 1st.

Good luck!!

Hey Sharkie... if you go to IMDB.COM and look up the name of the movie, I would wait until it says they are "filming". When they are in "Pre Production" a lot of times they are still casting the movie and the stars have very little to do with that, if any. So I would keep an eye on when it actually "starts filming" and then send it off. I have had quite a few successes via venue that way! Best of luck to ya!
