ATLANTA, GA, USA, June 11, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- July 2015 marks the 65th conference for Actors, Models & Talent for Christ, a non-profit ministry dedicated to making good bolder in film, fashion, music and theatre. AMTC has helped launch the careers of many talented performers, several of whom will be attending the SHINE conference as guest stars next month at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, Florida. Among them is 12-year-old Julian Silva, who played Gavroche in Broadway’s 2013 tour of Les Miserables. Silva began singing at age three and was later a performer at SHINE in Winter 2013, where he won Overall Child Singer. Other guests include Jenn Gotzon, who appeared as Tricia Nixon in Ron Howard’s Frost/Nixon, and went on to star in roles such as Laura Reaper in the feature film Doonby, alongside John Schneider (best known as Bo Duke from The Dukes of Hazzard and Jonathan Kent on TV’s Smallville), Nathan Clarkson, actor/writer of the faith-based film Chasing the Prodigal, and TyAlaxandar, successful rapper turned model and CEO of Fit to Flow, a nonprofit organization and camp for teenage artists.

AMTC is a unique Christian talent development company that elevates, equips and encourages amateur and professional performers, ages four and up, to be missionaries in the field of media. Through SHINE, a 6-day conference at The Gaylord Palms in Orlando Florida, performers are exposed to over 60 of the entertainment industry’s top agents, managers, casting directors and record label producers, who attend the conference to recruit new talent. Actors, models, singers, dancers and comedians prepared by AMTC through the unique bridge training program and regional affiliates around the United States and abroad have been busy preparing for the conference by attending AMTC workshops, rehearsals and photo shoots.

More than an opportunity to take the stage, SHINE will give AMTC performers the chance to listen, learn and network with the same industry professionals during the week’s exciting seminars, workshops, and chances for one-on-one advice. To name a few: “Casting Commercials: Secrets of How a Commercial is Cast” by New York casting agent Barry Shapiro, “A VIP’s Advice for All Actors” by David Elliot of Buchwald NY and LA, and true to the mission of AMTC, “What Does it Mean to be a Christian Artist?” by Jackie Patillo (the Gospel Music Association) & Blaine Barcus (with Sony’s Provident Label Group).

Founded in 1982 by New York model Millie Lewis and her daughter Carey Lewis, AMTC’s vision is to see the Great Commission of Jesus Christ fulfilled in all areas of entertainment.
