I had an entertainment management agency rep me -- for three months. We didn't see eye-to-eye. As a writer/producer, I have certain projects that I write to sell and others I write to produce. As managers, they didn't want to be limited and we quickly parted ways. Now unrepped, I'm currently in post-production on my third feature film of an award winning screenplay (psychological thriller) that I wrote called "Cerebral." I wanted my managers to sell my other award-winning feature screenplay titled, "The Reserve," which is a family sports drama; the kind I see on Disney+. I also have a historical religious epic titled "The Baptizer." My latest screenplay, featuring a major character that is an A.I. persona, I've already tagged as my next feature project. I'm not here looking for work in the industry. I am here because I have stories to tell.

Thanks for posting, A.J. "Alex" Avila! That is a great reminder that you can sometimes (a lot of times) get more done without reps than with them. Please spread this message far and wide to writers and filmmakers who might think that the only way to move forward is by getting repped.
Congratulations on entering pre-production on Cerebral. Please keep us posted on how the production goes.
I agree. Although I'd like to see what the industry is like from the inside, it's the undying push to tell our stories which brings us here. I'd rather spend my time with the writers and let everyone else do their thing.
