HOLLYWOOD MOVIE AGENTS

Yes you need an agent.

Further you need a Hollywood agent powerful enough to get calls answered and, of course, knows how to sell scripts, create packages, attach names, take meetings with deal-makers and help with pre-sell financing.

And the secret to securing a powerful Hollywood agent is to retain a powerful Hollywood attorney and literally buy your way into the system.

However, to succeed, remember, you will still need (A) talent, (B) great scripts, (C) marketable packages and (D) a work ethic.

(Be sure the agent is (A) licensed and (B) has a bookkeeping department to monitor your earnings.)

Now, how do you get one? A real one.

Not just someone that says “I’m an agent” and B-Sh*ts about Hollywood contacts and 30 years in the industry… A real one… And a “real agent” is hard to find… never-the-less have a face-to-face meeting to do that “Elevator Pitch” you’ve been practicing for the past 12-15 months…

Now, how do you get a face-to-face meet with a powerful Hollywood agent?

WHO ARE THE POWER HOLLYWOOD AGENCIES

There are over 100 licensed talent or literary agents/agencies (How to Get a Talent Agent License view…  https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/Talent_Agency_License.html) that are in Los Angeles alone.

The Big 7 agencies, with over 200 agents each are…

Again, so you say “You need an agent.”      OK.

Above are seven phone numbers to call where there are at least 1,400 Literary, Talent or Packaging agents.

The saying is “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.”

Oh OK. So what you are really saying is “you want someone to get-you-an-agent.” 

MOVIE AGENT CONTACTS

There are 5 groups of people who, because of their power, credibility or bankable contacts, have the ability to get-you-an-agent.

These 5 groups are.

(1) ENTERTAINMENT ATTORNEYS

(2) PERSONAL MANAGERS

(3) DEVELOPMENT EXECUTIVES

(4) SHOWRUNNERS

(5) BANKABLE TALENT

Further, of the 5 groups the absolutely easiest one to get… “to get-you-an-agent”, is the entertainment attorney…

Now, important point…. Attorneys are not F-R-E-E.

Entertainment attorneys love saying how great you are, how great your idea is, how wonderful your script is, dazzling you with their contacts, their experience, their expertise, their past deals and how to get yours made… then comes…

(A) HOURLY FEE ($350-$850/hour)

(B) RETAINER ($10,000-$50,000)

Below is a list of power entertainment attorneys who make deals with 3-5 agents daily and it is simple for them, once retained, to have him/her set up 2-3 pitch meetings for you… but be careful. Why? Answer: They’re attorneys!

Contact details (address, phone, e-mail) for the below 25 Power Agents, and their respective law firm, is easy to find by simply Googling.
