This event is in the past.
Formerly an Agent at Gersh, Jennifer recently left to work for this TOP Bi-Coastal Management Company. Still working closely with her colleagues at Gersh, Jennifer now is a new Manager at Washington Square Films. Jennifer represents name clients (Zoe Kazan, Louisa Krause, Rod Hill) as well as talented unknowns. She is interested in meeting fresh new actors of all types, all ethnicities. Though an extensive resume is not needed, super talent is, as this office will not freelance. This Management Company is bicoastal and dually represent their clients on both coasts and will develop actors that they are passionate about! If this is a fit then you MUST see Jennifer!
After a Q&A she'll see Sides with a Reader ONE on ONE
***The Sides for this seminar are available through your Actors Connection account. A link to the Sides will appear upon registration. You may choose one of Jennifer's sides that she has provided or use your own 2-3 page film/TV scene.
