  • New agent Sean (Mik'ael) Butler and The Mikael Group

    Anyone know anything about him, beyond what you can read on imdb and linkedin? He represents the 3rd highest-rated script/writer of the top uploaded Black List scripts (John Geraci, "Sig"), and he has some actual industry experience, but other than that if anybody has any knowledge to share I'd appreciate it. I got a call from him recently. Please feel free to p.m. me if you prefer...

    Hi Marcal. Sean is actually my manager and he's great. Very professional, easy to talk to and he does a great job. He left Serendipity Ent (Who I originally signed with) and started The Mikael Group at the end of 2012. I will be sticking with him for years to come because he pays attention to his clients.

    I hope I have helped.

      How much did he pay you to say that?

        Really mikejc? A little maturity thanks buddy. I appreciate my manager because he does a great job. Don't just comment random things just to get your post numbers up.

          I was obviously kidding. Keep your cool.

            JB - Sean saw my script on the Black List website and got in touch with me. I'm glad to hear your recommendation about him.

            If you don't mind me asking, how has he helped you out?

                Hey sorry for the late reply. I've been with Sean for a few months now. A bit soon to have a film sold but I've had my work to a few big places because of him and had some rewrite advice from some pretty major studios. In a few short months I've been able to get script advice and work on my films to make them better. He's always working to get stuff out there.

                    Re: New agent Sean (Mik'ael) Butler and The Mikael Group

                    Hi:

                    I received an email from him requesting my screenplay (after I sent him a logline then he requested the synopsis) then he wanted to read it.

                    I'm glad to hear good things about him. But does anyone know if he's sold any or gotten any writer's work? Just curious.

                    Also, how long does he take to respond after a submission?

                    Thanks
                    Rich

                      He's based in New York. Isn't there a downside to having an agent or manager there instead of in L.A.? Not that I can afford to be choosy but just asking.

                        I actually queried him for a project I'm looking to make, and he wrote back earlier today requesting the script and a filled out release form. I'm curious if there is anything else you could share about him, as it doesn't appear he has a website- at least none that comes up in any of the google searches I've tried. Like is he more involved with the overall career of people he reps or would it be just the project I am going at him with that potentially interests him? Does he handle directors, or even more technical folks like video editors and DPs, or just writers? What's his response time is like? Nitty- gritty thing like that.
                        Any thoughts on these kinds of details would be appreciated.
