Re: Magnet Management
I had some interaction with Zach Tann a little over a year ago. I cold e-queried him and he requested the script. Passed but was very professional. I also know creativexec is a big Bob Sobhani fan, another Magnet manager. They have a good rep for taking on and breaking new writers. Go for it."I hate to break it to you but there is no big lie. There is no system. The universe is indifferent.- - Don Draper

Re: Magnet Management
Submitted to magnet august 28th, 2006.
Got an offer of representation from another firm early sept.
Let all other managers who had the script know that i got the offer - they all said they would read ASAP
heard from zach/magnet 2 days later....
said he enjoyed the read but didn't feel passionate enough or whatever

Re: Magnet Management
Finally got my rejection e-mail. grrr, damn the concept of commercialism!
Here's the letter:
We read your script and although I thought it was really strong at points, the subject matter is a little too dark and unrelatable for us to work with right now. When we take on new writers we not only look for some good writing, but also a script that we can sell in the current marketplace and truthfully, a Vietnam vet thriller piece is a tough one.
We appreciate what you guys did with the story and the characters and really believe that you'll be able to find a place for your script, or, perhaps your next script.
Good luck in the future with your writing.
Thanks,
I need a drink!

Re: Magnet Management
Lips, just a suggestion.
Have that drink...then email Bob back thanking him for the insight into how projects are finding the current marketplace.
Then let him know your next one feels like it's gonna fall right in line, and how much you'd value his thoughts on it.

Re: Magnet Management
I've talked to them and heard good things, but I feel like I never see their names in the trades, etc. I don't know if that means anything as I'm sure tons of deal happen w/o us knowing, but just curious what this means. I could be more focused on specs of course.

Re: Magnet Management
I used to be repped by them. Despite their great rep (and they are all really nice people), they weren't very active about furthering my career. I had another friend who was also repped with them, who experienced the same lethargy I did.
