Do any director agents still pair directors with production companies that are looking for new talent?

Unless you’re a well-known commercial director — doesn’t seem like it’s worth it. Am I wrong? Budgets are lower, and it feels like the older model is still around but shrinking.

New production companies with young, hungry executives seem able to navigate the market and undercut the pricing that was standard ten years ago.

Is anyone else feeling this?

I would stay independent and find your own work. Then you can pick and choose your own production and post house OR work with theirs if you want to
