    Very insightful. I like how with that one story about helping his client she had to do so much work to even get noticed by him and every yes that she got was really subjective. “Oh I liked that title” or someone who was into really dark stuff. Just gotta keep firing until you hit a bullseye.

    Instead of selling my scripts I'd rather be part of the project that develops the scripts into films or shows. Do you have any videos that delve into that concept?

    Even after watching this video and all of Bojack I still don’t know any significant difference between and agent and a manager.
    Btw you should do how they wrote bojack horseman.

    • @BehindtheCurtain

      It seems like the lines blur a bit. Jon Hersh talks about executive producing some of the projects his clients have sold. Some people in the industry don't like this apparently, I really don't have an opinion. Fostering the project from its infancy to getting it made seems like a natural pairing, but I'm sure there's a lot more to it.
      But yea! I'd love to do a Bojack video. I'm trying to interview the creator of it to make it a special video.

    read scripts? I have. They are exactly the same as the movie. Nothing mysterious about it. You do not need a perfect script. The reality is, even if you have written good scripts, there are more scripts out there than there are production companies, so the odds are against you. Established companies have a network of resources to acquire scripts. They have no reason to give you the time of day.

    Most cynical jaded apathetic tone of a voice I’ve ever heard and believe it or not that begins as a defense mechanism early on, to fit in, because it’s “cool not to care”. Sorry.

    So, in short, you get a manager through blind luck of them liking your title after getting into the finals of a competition. Cool, got it.
