Angle on Producers with Carolina Groppa

How to Start a Bidding War with Verve Agent and Partner David Boxerbaum


Listen Later

David Boxerbaum built his career the hard way, with no connections, no shortcuts, and a relentless belief that great stories still change everything.

He first fell in love with making movies as a young kid growing up in the Bay Area, camera in hand, directing his friends before he even knew what an agent was. After attending New York University, he realized the there was real power in understanding the business behind making movies. So he mailed his resume across town, worked his way through some of the most iconic agencies in the business, and quietly became one of the most prolific spec script sellers in Hollywood. By 26, he was named one of The Hollywood Reporter's Next Generation 35 Under 35 — one of the youngest agents ever to earn that recognition. Today he's a partner at Verve, representing top writers, directors, and showrunners, and is widely credited with helping open the door for the short story market.

Join us as we get into what it actually means to believe in your clients, how he generates heat in a bidding war, and why he's optimistic about the future Hollywood.
