Necessity.....the mother of invention. - Plato
"One day on the set, after everyone had been asking me how much we had made that day, the idea of the CalculActor was born. I tried to create something that is helpful, fast, and accurate for actors, performers and models that takes out the guess work. I hope this is useful and practical to my fellow actors."
- Kathrin Rein
I met Kathrin eight years ago in L.A., through another friend and actress, Adrienne McQueen. Kathrin is a self made success who works hard, and with passion!
With the CalculActor she saw a need and took the time to conceptualize something to fill it. I told her a lot of people would probably like to know how much it costs to create an app. She said it cost her about $5,000, which is generally the minimum investment.
If you're an actor or model, this $2.99 app is a no brainer. If not, take a look anyway. It may stimulate something in your imagination to inspire an app in your area of expertise!
