When getting a new project off the ground you often hear about the importance of attaching top talent.

There are a number of reasons the industry says you need to get recognizable talent attached to your project - it will help secure financing, land a pre-sale deal before you start filming, help stir up interest in your project from other cast and crew in the industry, and generally make your project more marketable and desirable across the board. While these are all true, it doesn't change the fact that it feels nearly impossible for a first time filmmaker to get a recognizable actor, writer, director, or producer to come on board your project. Most filmmakers early in their careers struggle with even conceptualizing the process to get top talent. 

How do you get the agent or manager to pay attention? How can you sound professional and knowledgeable so the talent and their reps take you seriously? If you are able to reach the actor and their team, how can you increase your chances of getting an official attachment? Filmmakers constantly grapple with these questions and, unfortunately, often make the wrong choices in going about this process. Many filmmakers waste money on offers to talent who are known but do not have any value in the current film market, or, conversely, make offers to marketable talent that are much too low and won't get the agent's attention.

Luckily, this exclusive Stage 32 on-demand webinar will equip you with all the tools you need to appropriately approach top talent with the confidence and know-how to get an attachment! Teaching you the art and science of how to attach top talent is Bradley Gallo, the President and Co-Founder of Amasia Entertainment. If there is anyone in the industry that knows how to attach A-list talent to independent films it's Bradley. He has worked with some of the top A-list talent on his independent films including Oscar-winners Olivia Coleman, Halle Berry & Christopher Walken, Oscar-nominee Anna Kendrick, Jon Hamm, Jamie Dornan and many more. Bradley will pull back the curtain on the process and share tips & tricks on everything you need to consider to set yourself - and your project - up for success by getting top talent on board!

Whether you are planning to make your movie now or plan to make a movie in the future, Bradley will provide you with the framework to know when is the right time to attach talent, how to evaluate which talent actually has value, how large (or small) your offers should be, and so much more!

PLUS! You will receive a SAMPLE OFFER LETTER that you can use when approaching talent on your next project!
