hey all
I have an agent in the US and a manager abroad.
kind of an unusual setup but it was (in theory) a way for me to expand my horizons beyond the U.S. scene.
what has been happening is that the U.S. agent has been getting me gigs, helping package a show, setting me up with cool folks, and basically driving the bus. 100% happy.
the foreign rep, who I have been with much longer than the U.S. rep, has basically gone into hibernation. they take their commission on all of my work- which is shitty considering they didn't even congratulate me on my most recent assignment.
I am trying to figure out if I should be proactive and include them more into the conversation, come up with a different commission strategy (i.e. they don't get it if it's U.S. work) or dump them altogether.
It's tricky because I feel like they don't have much to do, since I live in the States. So it might be a case of simply expecting too much from them. Or not?
They could still send me material, ask me how I am doing, offer to help, etc.
Instead... crickets. genuinely curious what you guys think.
