I know most here are writers, but maybe someone can offer some insight into what to expect as a non-writer director getting representation.
I directed a short film that’s been getting some decent amount of heat recently. It landed me a manager at a legit firm and meetings with 3 of the top 10 agencies in town. The feature rights to the short were also picked up by a studio, and I’ll be co-writing the script with another writer. Now, I’m a narrative director first and foremost with a handful of shorts under my belt so aside from this one project, I’m curious what to expect if I sign with a top agency mainly as a director. I do have a few treatments and ideas of my own that I’d like to pitch at some point, but nothing in finished script form. Also I’m pushing myself as a narrative director, so I’m interested mainly in film and TV, not commercial work.
Not had much chance to discuss all this with my manager yet as it’s all happened so fast so any insight appreciated.
Thanks.
