I apologize for the delay in responding, and thank you for posting. This is a great topic, and one that new filmmakers rarely get honest advice about.
A few things many people learn the hard way: have an entertainment attorney read any contract before you sign it; agents typically take around 10 percent and must usually be licensed, while managers often take 15 percent and focus on career guidance; and good representation tends to come after you have work that's getting attention, not before. Ask for references and talk to other clients. Please share your own stories, good and bad, so others can learn from them.
