We met in an industrial building not too far from OMSI. The guys that run this agency were very nice and friendly. I mostly spoke with Matt who was refreshingly honest about Portland not being a big mecca of the modeling world. I decided to sign up my daughter and sent in some photos for their website. Puddletown does charge a small monthly fee (12.00) to have your child's photos on their site. No problem. You do pay one year in advance for this (144.00) but you can cancel if you want and get a refund for the remaining part of the year. We waited for a modeling job, but after 6 months we received exactly 0. ( I had started to notice they used the same girls pretty much for their few local ads they did) I didn't want to spend any more $ so I canceled. That was our experience..........

We adore Jason and Matt! Not only is Puddletown Talent a reputable, legitimate agency, but these…read moreguys care for their roster of kids as if they were their own (children). They go above and beyond the typical "agent" role to assure that the kids are happy and healthy by being mentors and "extended family." Since the acting/modeling industry is known for "eating its young," having their support, guidance and knowledge behind your child is invaluable. They don't sugar coat- we know Portland is not LA or NYC - but there is work here. The guys are very upfront and real about the fact that even though YOU may believe you have the most amazing, gorgeous, talented child in the world, the competition is fierce. Yet, they believe in their kids, and in turn, the kids believe in themselves and are booking jobs. It's a win-win. Incidentally, another reviewer said that she noticed "they used the same girls pretty much for their few local ads they did." This may be true, but PT doesn't cast. They submit. It is then up to the child to impress the client and land the job.

Pacia has packed shop in Portland but has chapters in Salt Lake and Boston. I'm writing this review…read morein hopes to help another desperate parent avoid heartbreaking. $30k mistake I made. We sent our 18 year old daughter to Pacia Salt Lake City as an 'aftercare' option post wilderness therapy. The organization is a scam. They invest just enough to fleece the parent (whom they refer to ironically as investors)- glossy marketing, sleek and modern housing for the young adult, excellent job at recruitment. The first few weeks were amazing- adult 'mentors' providing meaningful activities (skiing, rock climbing), life coaching sessions, academic advising for college. Then- nada. No program, no services. No help. NO PROFESSIONALS. Each family signs an ironclad 90 day contract ($35k) so Pacia seals the deal at signing with no consequence of an 'unhappy customer' from that moment forward. When I raised concern about my daughter's continued high risk behavior (failed drug screen for weed, alcohol use, not returning to apt at night), we got one 'tough love' session with threat of consequence if daughter couldn't 'get it together'- then absolutely zero follow through when she could not. I pleaded that we put together a plan with help from a licensed mental health professional, they agreed but then never followed through. What they do provide- young 20-30 something (likely underpaid) 'mentors' who are likely all well meaning and maybe mostly kind who do give pep talks, try to keep tabs on the young adults, and take them on errands. But they have essentially no training nor oversight from any professional. I did get two email from the 'owner'/director(?) in response to my numerous attempts to advocate greater support for my daughter- then eventually radio silence. I knew Pacia was not a treatment program but I did expect SOME programming. I was promised thus. In hindsight I was so foolish (note the lack of reviews anywhere) but - I know I am not the only desperate parent who got fleeced. I just hope I can save another from the experience.

I came to Pacia life from a couple bad situations and this was my last chance. After meeting with Sarah my dad and I felt back home and decided that if I was going to get a fresh start this would be the place to do it. I have been part of Pacia Life for three years now while also making life for myself here in Oregon. Though there have been many bumps in the Road I can tell you that the skills I have been gaining from Pacia and the guidance Ive gotten from Sarah that Im becoming more and more the person I want to be then the person I want to fit in. And just FYI nobody gets abused at Pacia Life. Thats the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard.

Vicki did an amazing job of helping me come to the self-realization of what I wanted out of my career, and then was able to suggest a specific path that is a better fit and more in-demand career than I could have possibly imagined. After spending the last two years or so critically thinking about what I wanted to do with my life, it only took two meetings with Vicki for me to put all that wavering aside and feel amazing about my path forward. Once we arrived at the job title I was shooting for, she helped me to put together a plan of attack, and I went out and got started!
