I solicited representatives including CAA, the Gersh Agency, and Paradigm over the phone and via email to acquire screeners. After evaluation I was permitted to make limited advance offers without approval. Working with the sales department I coordinated with the film’s representatives, as well as the filmmakers, to tailor the ideal contract alongside the in-house attorney. This included analyzing a film’s potential for DVD, VOD, TV, and ancillary markets. I also coordinated the database maintenance, data entry, and research efforts of two associates within my department.

A documentary concentrating on Lloyd Kaufman’s film “The Toxic Avenger”. During the production I served as an associate producer, art director, and writer’s assistant. It was my responsibility to fund, co-design, and create the props. However, I signed onto the film with the intent of assisting the director with screenwriting; an opportunity I garnered with experience gained through writing my own screenplay.
