Michael A. Barone: Actor, author and camera operator in Columbus, Ohio.

Exact same experience as Paul Grammatico so I'm out. Also bear in mind the logline "views" just means it was listed in a search, it may not have actually been read. Many of the producers are not listed on IMDB. If it works for someone, good on them. I feel my money is better spent on blcklst..

Richard thanks for the info. I checked some of your loglines

Hey Carlv; I made a sale on inktip last year, and have three options. I don't know about the 20 million budgets, but I have been checked out by Universal Pictures, as well as Joe Dante's production company via that site.

I am producing a big reality show this time. We are actually traveling from Thailand to China and then to South Korea. Shooting for about 5 weeks. Very exciting to travel to all those places :) I am really looking forward to go to China, we are shooting across four provinces. And three of those I havent been before, so it is really interesting for me

Good, there are many beautiful shooting locations in China, enjoy.

Thank you, I will for sure

How can I be of service?

Representation, movie adaptations and possibly, other secondary rights uses. Is it something you could work on? Is it possible for you to act as a movie producer for my books, theatrical producer for my plays, representative to my publications for secondary rights uses?

Thank you for thinking of me. I am not able to do any of those things for you. I wish I could but I am a struggling artist myself. I do wish you the best of luck! God bless your work too! Michael

Excellent! Best of luck to you brother!

Jean Buschmann it was clones of the Apple 2e, back in 1983 I think. I was a few years out of high school at the time. It was a form letter attached to a threat from their external legal people. They took a few people to court. My friend dodged that.

As much as I appreciated the marketing and industrial desgn genius of Apple (thanks to Jobs and Jony Ives), anyone who is being honest has to admit that the company is no stranger to controversy, or the the claims that they were "inspired" by many a small software fish swimming by. Thus, the irony. ;) And of course, now, in this modern era, there's the unfortunate "net" solution to catching the suicidal factory workers in China, who attempt to take their lives in mass, due to low pay, repetitive motion injuries, and overwork. But shhh, no one wants to talk about that. Sad.

Hey Michael! Thanks for connecting with me. I wish all the best. Please be sure to check out my music on my website: http://www.timbeckmusic.com/

Hi! Thanks for connecting!

Jack, Thanks for the note. I'm spring boarding off of Evan S. Smith's book "Writing Television Sitcoms". On page 191 and 192 he defines the job of a "literary agent" or "lit" agents. He states that an agent is primarily a salesperson who spends most of his days - pitching his clients to prospective employers - (dealing) with particular networks, studios, and production companies. So, I think I'm looking for a literary agent to help me sell the project. Does that make sense to you? Thanks for the link I will check it out for certain! Michael

Michael:
 I might be at fault here, but I believe it is the use of the term “Literary Agent” that is causing confusion.

To my knowledge a “LITERARY” Agent deals solely with literature (i.e. Fiction manuscripts aimed at an academic or similar type of reader). 
When I write a screenplay it is not literature - it can’t be. It is in a completely different format, with etheral subject, that is here and minutes later - gone. Literature is supposed to last the ages - like Shakespeare etc.

Very well… now, if it is not a literary agent who pedals screenplays - who does?
An IP (Intellectual Property) Agent, an Entertainment Agent, a movie script agent.


Last night I searched QueryTracker.com - unless it is buried in the agent’s profile - I could not find one agent dealing with movies or screenplays - ALL were for book publishers.
 Likewise the AAPR.org (American Assoc. of Publishing Representatives), I do believe is solidly for book publishing.

I hope this makes it a bit clearer - but be warned - I might be in error.



-- Keep creating,

Jack.

Jack, I hope to find an agent who deals with all that you have listed: "IP (Intellectual Property) Agent, an Entertainment Agent, a movie script agent" What ever kind of agent does that! I appreciate the advice from you. I'm just using definitions I have found in the books by the "experts". I have a tiger by the tail and I'm in need of a lion tamer! To mix some metaphors, I've landed on the 5th or 6th rung of a ladder without walking up the first few. So I have a great TV sitcom producer interested in working with me. But I do not have the necessary pieces in place to hire him. Normally an agent or the purchasing/producing network would get the script to the producer after hiring them. At least I think that is how it normally works. Anyway, thanks again! I'll keep you guys posted if I get any answers. Michael

Great!
