Ask Me Anything (AMA) 3/1 to 3/2

Hello everyone, this is Andrew Kersey. I'm a literary manager with a focus on nurturing unique storytelling voices in film and tv. My client's comedy VACATION FRIENDS starring John Cena and Lil Rel was Hulu's biggest 3-day weekend opener for an original in the streamer's history at the time. The sequel recently wrapped. Another recent success is the sale of a client’s sci-fi spec, VARIETAL, to Universal with Mike De Luca, the Oscar-nominated producer behind THE SOCIAL NETWORK and the FIFTY SHADES OF GREY movies.

I’m here on Stage32 for 24 hours today for an AMA!

Happy to answer your questions regarding writing for film and tv from a manager's perspective.

Here’s a blog I recently did for Stage32:

This is the title of my autobiography I published as an Ebook in 2023. I have a dozen other books and I finally have time in my busy life to work on a podcast. I’m an experienced radio broadcaster and look forward to assisting more writers to gain the confidence to publish their stories, by sharing my 37 years experience in writing, publishing, radio broadcasting, speaking, screenwriting and documentary production.

Filipp, thanks for connecting!

Hi Leiter, thanks for connecting. I also spend the winter at my home in Henderson, NV and I'm here now. How's your pitching been going? Looks like you have some great material. Best, Monica

Hi Chris, thanks for connecting.

Hi. Keep me posted about how I can help you

Leonardo, your personal journey is impressive. Not only did you survive while bedridden, you thrived! That is the true perseverance of the human soul! I particularly like what you said here: but as you walk through the dark night of the soul, find ways to draw from that, write down not just a description of the valley but what you’re learning from it. --Be the hero in the story that comes out better, wiser, and more sympathetic in the end. Turn what was meant for pain into something good. I think a lot of writers forget to focus on that. That is what truly makes a story great. I've had to figure out those elements in my story - The Accidental Arms Broker - realizing that the biggest sacrifice a character can make is for the well-being of others. Thank you for all your intimate insights!
