Does anyone know of a video of watching a pitch (if even a mock pitch), that we can watch and observe the whole process? I have seen many videos of people telling the best practices, but watching an actual pitch would be really helpful.

I met with him today and decided this would be a good fit. The agreement is only to represent my screenplay, "The Bottom Line" for one year and see where we go from there.

Expand postI met with him today and decided this would be a good fit. The agreement is only to represent my screenplay, "The Bottom Line" for one year and see where we go from there. He does have a proviso in the contract to have first look at my other screenplays. He has 30 days from receiving other screenplays I've written to requesting his interest in representing those screenplays. I'm excited about getting an agent, but know that I will be hustling, too, in an effort to get my work optioned.
Congratulations!
that sound great
Congratulations!
Thank you all for your support. I appreciate it. Loved your story about how you got your agent, Doug.

Expand commentThe way I found my agent was through the WGA Platform. As a member, I have access to all the agents who have signed the "Code of Contact" agreement. I made a cold call to him and he agreed to read my screenplay as I was a WGA member. He then got back to me saying he wanted to represent my screenplay, "The Bottom Line." My WGA coach, Jim Arnoff, along with Jason Mirch of Stage 32 gave me suggestions on how to research him to see if it was a good fit. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Thanks again for your support.
Referral only. Those are two words that are like nails on a chalkboard. I am currently trying to get a talent agent (below the line), and it is the most upsetting and frustrating process, seeing some of the people that DO have representation. :) I have three feature length documentaries under my bel...

I am currently trying to get a talent agent (below the line), and it is the most upsetting and frustrating process, seeing some of the people that DO have representation. :) I have three feature length documentaries under my belt along with one eight-part documentary series that is streaming worldwide on Amazon.

What are your docs about? Gave you a follow on Insta from the account of a (non-film) project I did. Which come to think of it is in a documentary vein.

See you around!
I'm curious to know if anyone here has had any success with FilmHub? Are these aggregator/distribution sites really worth the effort for indies?

Expand commentJohnny K. Wu I would like to speak with you about your experience directly. As an independent streamer, Facet.TV has decided not to deal with FilmHub as our experience with them was very negative. Your experience is relevant to the general review of marketplaces and distributors being conducted at the independentproducersguild.org
That definitely sounds shady Johnny K. Wu. Yikes!
Hi. Any platforms you recommend for short films?
Filmhub also takes short films
The payout might be low, based on your content, but I have had success distributing it to major and minor streamers
I believe there are some on youtube!
