    Re: How will Endeavor merger with William Morris affect you?

    I didn't read this whole thread, but unrepped/new writers may in fact be affected by the merger in that there will certainly be new boutique management companies cropping up formed by agents fleeing the merger. I've heard of one WMA big dog already who is doing just that.

      According to trackingb.com, it's David Lonner from WMA.

        Yay, sticking to the post.

        Charisma and Kenp, can you guys get a chat room? Ha ha.

        I was thinking that the boutique managment companies would increase. I was hoping anyways.

          Will it make it easier or harder to get manager/agent love?

              I will still be writing spec scripts that sell and are made into movies.

                I wouldn't assume many of these agents who are let go will become managers b/c of one very big reason -- most working writers already have managers. If their agent is let go, they're going to still need an agent not another manager. Plus, I think, it's very difficult to switch from being an agent -- which is really a dealmaker -- into someone very intensive with developing a writer's career, giving notes, hand-holding, etc. Two diff personalities. I think some laid off agents will become managers, but most, will stay agents and go to competing agencies. And I think a mid-level boutique will emerge --

                  Bill, are you saying that you are repped by Endeavor or William Morris?

                    Nope.It's just that Bill wears his career success without representation like a bloody, pus-seeping, martyr's badge of honor.

                    Bill--get a rep! Maybe you can get something in theaters!

                      I hope you two are friends and this is just banter, because your comment sounds mean.

                      I'm sure you didn't intend for it to sound that way.

                        You're right. I don't want to sound mean. Mean is naughty. Naughty makes people cry and go pee-pee.

                        I'm sorry.

                          Hi Shari,

                          Mean also drives people away.

                          But naughty can sometimes be fun.

                          Thanks, Shari.

                            did they change the former Endeavor agent's emails?

                            used to be: endeavorla.com

                            anyone know is this is still the case?

                            thanks.

                              The old endeavor emails still go through, that is unless someone was fired...
