    Re: Georgia Vestakis/Zero Gravity Management

    Thanks for posting, prescribe22. It's great that you're happy with ZGM so far. I've heard that their commission rate is 15% and that they usually end up producing or co-producing scripts that they've developed with clients.

    If ZGM does make a "sale", do they waive their commission in lieu of the larger producer's fee? Also, do they help the client find an attorney or agent to negotiate the deal? If they're a producer on the project, I can't imagine that they would be able to negotiate on behalf of the client. Just wondering...

      I'm a client there also, and I'm very happy with the support I've gotten from the team. Eric is always pleasant to deal with, the development notes are top-notch and they really believe in hanging in there with you over the long haul, if they believe in your work.

      They don't double-dip -- meaning they don't collect both a producer's and a manager's fee. If a sale is made and they're attached as producers, the 15 % manager's fee is waived. Not all of their clients have agents -- I don't, as of yet. However, I know they have contacts over at Paradigm, for example, and can be helpful in making referrals, if that's what the client wants.

            What's the response time if they want to read your project?

            I don't know, perhaps mentioning I'm English turned them off (they must be dreading the arse-whooping we'll give you yanks in a couple of weeks).

              Ha! (Follow the bouncing ball) Some of your gentle readers may not know what "couple of weeks" means!

              As for Zero's reading, all I got was the " we are only able to reply to those we are interested in pursuing and do not send rejection notices" blurb.

                Oh man, after last night's performance against Japan, given the altitude, it should be us fearing the U.S.

                Hmm, I don't like policy of only replying what they're interested in either - how long's it take to send an e-mail (especially compared to reading one million bad scripts they originally liked the sound of)?

                  They'll reply with a pass if you follow up with a query about your script.

                    Have followed up with a query and never got a response back. But, if they request a script you've got nothing to lose by submitting it.

                      This thread, namely, your post has inspired me to come out of lurkdom. I would appreciate it if you sent me the names and contact information of the other managers at Zero too. I've had requests from Georgia to read both my scripts as well.

                      Many thanks,

                        Any idea how long they take to read?

                          I've sent my scripts to Georgia about 3 weeks ago.

                                Did they actually respond to you? I've heard they usually don't even notify of a pass.
