What does an agent do, and how do they help their client reach that dream of their first sale? In our latest episode, Ryan talks with David Boxerbaum (Hollywood Agent and Partner at Verve) to illuminate that process. We also discuss David’s high-profile deals, including recent bidding wars for “Occupant” which ended in a high 6 figure sale to New Line, and “I Am Not Alone” which sold to Netflix in another high-six-figure deal.

How a Hollywood Agent helps their Client "Break in"

How do you take an idea from concept, to short story, to a 9 studio bidding war? In our latest episode Ryan talks with Scott Glassgold (a Manager and Producer with well over a decade of experience) about how he did exactly that!  After getting his start at New Line Cinema and Disney, Scott Founded Ground Control, an innovative Management and Production company. From there, he’s gone on to nurture several short films and initial ideas to final feature films – such as Prospect, The Beyond, and his latest Horrorscope. Scott is no stranger to high-profile deals like his 7 figure sale of "My Wife and I Bought a Ranch" to Netflix, or his most recent bidding war for "Occupant" that ended in a  high 6 figure sale to New Line.

Chris and Zeek are the writer/director team behind PROSPECT, an indie sci-fi film that broke through the ceiling of its budget and has since gone on to find its audience on streaming. Even though Chris and Zeek were happy with their film, they couldn't help but think that there must be a better way to get a budget for their film while retaining creative control and including the wider community around the project. With the birth of NFTs, they think they have found that answer. Today, Ryan chats with the filmmakers about their new venture with The Fringe and how it might change how films are made forever.
