    Re: LA Agents: The Bumper list of Boutiques

    Nope, but apparently you didn't get post #7 over the page.

    This was put up after CE recommended people focus on the boutiques rather than the likes of ICM, and someone asked who the "boutiques" were...

    Fact remains that the "big three" each have around twice as many agents and clients than UTA or Endeavor.

    UTA and Endeavor are powerhouse writers agencies, however, (perhaps more so than CAA, ICM or WMA) which is why they top the list.

    It's a slightly larger agency, but does UTA outclass BWCS? Considering this is for writers, I think placing any of the "top five" on a pedestal above BWCS would be a bit of a distortion. So, they are grouped together.

    I missed the memo that Code is bigger than Gotham Group

      Paradigm are already up there.

      The list is at crossed purposes. Started off as boutiques, then became a list of all lit agencies and those with large client lists like Preminger (who've got 50 odd writers on their roster) got put towards the top. Preminger doesn't seem to have many working writers though, as you say. I will tweak it later: (bonafide) Boutiques - Medium sized - Small agencies.

      views on who else should be left in/out of a tighter boutiques category welcome, as always.


      I'm in awe of your organizational skills. Bless you for doing this!

        Wait a sec,

        When contacting these agents, what do you tell or ask them if you have a couple scripts you want them to read. What is the best way to get represented? Send them a query letter? A script? What's the best way to get represented?

          Eyes, Only target ONE script. You need to either choose which you thnk is the best, and market the hell out of that, OR if you can';t choose one, look at current trends and sales within the agency, and send what's closest to that. And do it all via Query.

                          lit = literary (meaning writing)

                          boutique = smaller, more specialized

                            Is there another kind of agency as screenwriters we work with? (said sincerely)

                            How are boutiques specialized? Like in genres?

                              What i would like to see under each agency's/Man Co's name are the the names of the writers belonging to each company.

                              i.e., a list of each co's stable of writers.

                              Does such a list exist somewhere?
