I have some past successes (optioning graphic novels I wrote to two studios). And some screenplays that were near misses. One with Bruce Davey attached (Icon) and one with Pierce/Williams attached. Both fell through.
Several years have gone by. I no longer have ICM representing me. (my agent was let go, and his replacement was just watching my contract expire).
So now, I'm back with a new screenplay. I have a partner attached with this one and he has an agent, albeit a small one. But she does get things done. (meetings with producers, etc. big and small).
I can use his agent to rep me on this script. But I'm thinking about getting repped by a bigger agency.
How difficult is it for me to pound the pavement and try to get the attention of a bigger agent (ICM, CAA, UTA)? My ICM agent actually found me, so I have no experience to go on here. I have two producers already interested in showing it (one younger, and hungry with a few well placed connections and one veteran with deep roots and a few impressive connections), and with my partner's agent with her ability to get it to higher profile producers, is it necessary for me to start an agent search? Or does it look like I'm in good hands as I am?
