Anybody any experience or information?

AGAPE MEDIA INTERNATIONAL (AMI) (the submissions page on their website)

Some connection of Mark Harris to Paul Haggis there somewhere? See Team.

Beth Schnieder there requested a script but inisisted our WGA agent sign a release (or have us do so) he refused and we agreed. Doesn't sound like a pro organization but who knows. That's our experience.

Urgh. This is basically 'Agape Spiritual Center' which is run by one of those guys with a fake Doctorate.

Why do they keep doing that? Just so they can put 'Dr' in front of their names? (Although it does help book sales)

The guy behind it was featured in 'The Secret' - if that gives you a sense of who they are.

He also has cured kidney disease with his special brand of meditation.

On the other hand, these groups often have a lot of money, so it might be worth it if you don't mind the kind of company you'll be keeping.

We all have our limits on the "kind of company" but my main rule would be their production record, that of their personnel, etc. Personally? I wouldn't go near Playboy Productions (if there is such a thing?), but essentially if it's a business I don't care about the boss's religion, persuasion, etc.

As for these particular guys, they don't take things electronically, so they're near the end of my list. "Hardcopy" is so backwards!

Agape has a mandate that the material be spiritually uplifting. Regardless of your personal feelings about the Secret or anything else, the mandate is straightforward.

I have no problem with that at all. I usually get all excited when somebody says Family Fare wanted, or Spiritually uplifting. Speaks to me, personally.

Incidentally, I found an email structure for them and, while I haven't heard back, I did send my query in that way instead of through their snail mail approach.
