While structuring the HRA if we give max limit for eg., 20k and I have rent agreement of 7500. Will this be a problem or will I just get an exempt of 7500?

Hello,

I'm 26 with 5 years of experience and trying to transition to the B4 for more experience. I've noticed it's hard to land jobs at the Fortune 100 companies without this experience. Can anyone recommend the best way to make this transition? I fee like they only target college grads.

Thanks!

Great group for us to have

Anyone attending AICP/ Dallas? Let us know we’ve got a fun get together to invite ya to!

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?

Hey guys I just lost the Livley job out of Davis elen. Any of you get it

Producers & Creatives: when reviewing reels for a project, what’s your strategy? First few spots only, watch spots based on brand or thumbnail, well known company or director name first and foremost?

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 :)

Hi everyone! Thanks for starting this group, Veronica and Ann!

Hi everyone! Happy to join this bowl. I rep for a production/post house and also rep directors. nice to e meet you!

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?

Help! Any events and activation production companies in london?

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!

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.

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

Hi everyone! I know we talked about a contract for freelance directors. Does anyone have one written up yet, or anything that I could easily modify?
