If you’re going to AICP LA tomorrow night DM me. Let’s make this dream reality.

If you work with any auto brand 🚗- do you know someone that can benefit from cinematic visualizations (mood films, testing & boards) created using game engine tech like this--https://bit.ly/3bVIw3O?

Producers: how good are you with sharing the shortlist with reps if their submitted directors/talent didn’t make the cut?

Reps: do you feel it’s wrong to submit Freece directors for jobs over your paying rostered clients? If the lead isn’t a fit for your rostered clients is leaving the opportunity (and potential money) on the table the “right” thing to do or are you stuck feeling a sense of loyalty to the producer seeking talent?

I’m a director/DP who has started my own small commercial production company. I’ve mainly been doing direct to client work (while also working as a hired gun for other production companies). I’m non-union currently and the budgets my company has handled go up to $250k. Based out of Los Angeles.

I’m looking to get more work for my company. Wondering if any reps here would like to chat? Thanks!

West Coast and Midwest reps who actually get consistent food and tabletop boards, where you at? I’ve got a director with a great reel of mostly over delivered low budget work, but a strong client list. I’m looking for someone who is a go to resource for agencies with these tops of jobs. I’ve already submitted a form on the AIR website. Thanks :)

Reps, you have a client who you’ve had for less than a year. You’ve helped them secure a couple small jobs in that time span. They book a big job with an agency that isn’t a house account but certain producers and clients at that agency are noted as house accounts. The job came through a reco from one of those house account producers. Do you charge the full 25k commission, even though you didn’t really have a hand in the sale, and the client already had a strong relationship with the agency?

What is the average fee (%) for commission only rep ?

Just read the sad news of the death of 1st AD John Nolan. (See wheresspot for thread) While I hope be didn't contract Covid on either of the 2 sets mentioned prior to his illness and death, if it comes back that he did, we need to have a long hard chat about what went wrong. Condolences to his family. Truly horrible news.

My s/o has been approached for representation as a motion director. Commercial animation. Can anyone point me in the direction of any resources on what he should look out for in a representation agreement?

I’m a digital producer and have no clue what’s fair / what fees these types of production companies typically take. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
