Re: Managers -- What Is and Is Not An Ideal Relationship
I had 3 managers and most communication was through email. Phone calls were rare. I wasn't well repped I guess.
My question for the writers who seem to have these strong relationships -- was it that way from the jump? Did you sell something?
Because it seems when I talk to writers who sold a spec, the way they talk about their relationships with managers is night and day to what i experienced.
I wanted just 10% of what some of the posters had. They always say "they work for you" but I always felt like they were doing me the favor and until I made money, I'm nothing to them really.
So seeing this list of questions, my question is back is "How common is this?"
Because I know I'm not crazy because I knew many writers on this board who had similar situations.
Someone I did not get treated well at all at these 2 places (can I blame my writing partner) and I'm thinking the people on this thread could be with those reps right now and have a 100% different experience.
That's a big thing. Just because Manager X does great for Johnny Writer doesn't mean they will do **** for you because well they are too busy helping Jane The Writer who already has a career going.
Man, I have some depressing Hollywood stories and I was barely in the machine. Damn.
Sorry, Gucci but can you get back together with the ex and put in a good word for me and the rest of the gain at 3arts? I mean we don't all have to go to her? I can go to my ex manager who works there who I think hates my guts. Ha ha ha ha... sad face.
