I had to move back to my hometown and i need advice

Hi! I’ve been modeling for the past 7 years, i can’t say i’ve made it but i’ve done some good campaigns and runway shows. These last months have been rough on my health and economy so i had to move back, my agency is really good and i’ve been signed with them for 8 months, i haven’t booked anything yet, however i always do my self tapes (i’m a commercial model).

However i’m scared this will impact my chances of getting casted for ecomm or campaigns, my town is very far away and the only way to get to the city is through plane. I’ve already lost one callback because i couldn’t attend nor schedule a videocall with the client. I’m currently with this agency in hopes of going international someday, I’ve commented this with my agents and i think they understand because it was for health reasons but i’m so sad because i don’t want them to see me as uncommitted, i always send my self tapes (i’m a commercial model) and always attend castings and callbacks on time whenever i can but i feel this was a big setback for me.

Because throughout my career i’ve always been available for castings, callbacks, test shoots and jobs and now that i finally found an agency that treats me with respect and actually tries to book me and encourages me to keep going i’m not able to be in the city anymore. After going through years of disrespect and people not believing in my profile it sucks that i can only do self tapes at distance and update my portfolio through test shoots, the good thing is that i live near the coast and i can do a lot of tests for swimwear brands.
