#WomenInFilm -Speaker series: “Good Rep”
April 25, 2016
Good Rep
In entertainment, good representation can be the key to making a career. While there is no magic answer to getting it, it certainly helps to know how the business of representation and management works.
panelists include Tara Kole (Gang, Tyre, Ramer & Brown) Jennifer Levine (Untitled Entertainment) and Dana Sims (ICM) with more to be announced, and is moderated by renowned entertainment attorney, Nina Shaw (Del Shaw Moonves Tanaka Finkelstein & Lezcano).
This speaker series unveiled the ins and outs of an effective team, what agents and managers are looking for in today’s rapidly growing market, and if you’re seeking representation, what you can do (and not do) to stand out.
Discussions also focused on how women are changing the culture of representation, and building relationships to advance gender parity.
