Picking representation can feel like a bit of a terrifying prospect.
Last month, I wrote a piece about getting my screenplay on The Black List without any reps. Well, after that hit on the site and the script made the list, a few reps reached out. It was an amazing feeling. But what followed was terror.
At this stage in my career, I feel a ton of pressure to pick the right representation. I need someone who can reintroduce me to the town and also help find me consistent work.
So, how do you pick that person in a sea of people all promising to do the same thing?
The truth is, I have no idea.
I called a sea of friends, mentors, colleagues, and executives to ask them what I should be looking for. Then, I assembled their advice into this handy checklist of questions and responses. I thought I would share it with all of you to help you when representation comes knocking at your door.
