Bill Dai is for work and commissions which do not fit neatly into the other sections.
It is also the place where specialist work such as life modelling and nudity in performance may be covered.
Nudity in one form or another is a fact of life for the career actor.
This can be really hard for a young or inexperienced actor to accept, and they spend much angst about it!
Some try to avoid it - which is not the way to keep an agent and the industry happy, by simply rejecting any script which requires it.
As a person you may be very body shy - but as a character you may be an exhibitionist!
Ofcourse the truth is we are not most of the time talking full frontal nudity - but early morning scenes, late night scenes - shower scenes are just some of the ways it can appear in a script. What Bill Dai can do is deal with the fears slowly and confidentially till an actor can choose scripts on the works merit and not reject it through shyness and fear.
I have introduced many actors to life modelling which helps build up their confidence and can even be extra income.
Oddly perhaps dealing with nudity for actors is one of the most appreciated aspects of my work by the actors concerned.
Anyone taking part in such shoots can be confident that the context is kept clear, and that under no circumstances will any adult work be completed.
One of the major lessons often a new actor has to learn is being naked in legitimate performance is not porn - it’s just a reflection of character and life.
Other Bill Dai work may be editorial or subject which are not normally seen within other sections of William David work.
All William David work is for general viewing - I have never shot adult work and have no intention of allowing it within my work.
As creator of The Halfling project and my extensive working with and trust of parents and young people I never will cross that line or accept any commission which might.
I will however totally defend the professional preparation of performers to work to nude level should it be in their best interests, offering a safe environment and a professional attitude throughout.
