Re: First ATA agency breaks ranks
Yup, agreed. I remember the days of Ovitz. Me and my ex were little kids in the industry and knew nothing/knew no one. Over the years she (and I by association) were folded into said mafia. I bought it for many years. Especially once I was repped there. After all, they'd literally call it "the ___ family" at intimate gatherings during pontiferous toasts (they LOVE to give speeches and congratulate each other). It was an air of "We're better than everyone else in the industry, we're the tip top and NO ONE can take us down... long as we stick together, as a family."
Telling that nowadays I can call no one that I knew for 20 years. Exiled.
But, hanging out with those people, you have that 6th sense that something ain't quite right about this picture. Reason being, just like the mafia, the'll shoot you in the head and dump you in the dumpster if it serves them. You were just at their kid's birthday party yesterday. That's when I knew the last 20 years weren't real to them.
The mafia... good analogy.
Agreed... once development and pilot season rolls around we'll get to see what their real strategy is. Should be hella interesting.
