I was at a Q&A session with a commercial agent at The Actor's Network tonight. There are definite seasons in a talent agency, and it appears that it's currently Spring - which means they're too busy watching the blooms to try and plant any seeds. In other words, September-November is pretty much the worst time to try and land an agent because they're all working really hard on getting their current clients into pilots or episodic TV.If agents aren't opening their mail until the end of December - I need to brace myself for a lot of independent submissions to casting agents. This is frustrating because I really thought I had given myself enough lead-time to get an agent before shooting season began in earnest. Moral: submit ASAP if you move down in August, don't wait to get "situated". Better still: move down during June or July.
Oh, and I saw Super Bad tonight with Jon and Prince. It was incredibly funny, but the jokes wouldn't have played nearly so well if it were 1954. For half a second, I thought the swearing was excessive... and then I remembered my students. Nope, the movie is pretty spot on. I'd love to do a project like that.
EDIT: I am ashamed at how many times I just incorrectly used combinations of: their, there, and they're.
