I'm a Comedy Director that is on a Roster with a production company that whose reps also rep big comedy shops like Oppositve and HungryMan. This years has been really slow for me and might try and do lower tier work for less. Im curious how many other directors are working off roster and also curious to know if this year has been slow for others.

It’s been abysmal for everyone. I’m on the agency side and every place I’ve been at has seen commercial assignments dwindle to almost nothing since 2024.

Get the work wherever you can get it.

Reps?

Safeword , GRG, Reprizent

It’s really challenging out there. Big name directors aren’t as busy and willing to do smaller jobs.
