What is DirectorsLittleBlackBook.com?
DirectorsLittleBlackBook.com is an online directory of agencies and management companies that are in the business of representing filmmakers. Our directory was created specifically to help unrepresented filmmakers get the representation that can grow their career.
What makes DirectorsLittleBlackBook.com unique?
Other directories list the names and contact information for agencies and management companies; some even include a complete staff listing or the names of company development executives. Uniquely, the DirectorsLittleBlackBook list the ‘insiders’ agencies and management companies that are more likely to open and consider a short, reel or feature from an unrepresented filmmaker.
At DirectorsLittleBlackBook.com, we understand the barriers that prevent so many talented filmmakers from going to the next level of their career. Knowing the names of an agency’s staff is of little value to unrepresented filmmakers if the agents listed rarely – if ever – consider submissions from unrepresented filmmakers. Our goal in creating the DirectorsLittleBlackBook was to help unrepresented filmmakers get in the door. So we researched over 400 agencies and management companies with one simple goal: identify wherever possible, the people at each of these agencies and companies that would be the most accessible to an unrepresented filmmaker. These people – whom we call ‘insiders’ – were hand-selected for the DirectorsLittleBlackBook using two basic criteria’s: their commitment to giving a new filmmaker their big break, and the level of influence they have in decisions involving the signing of new directors.
Why are the contacts in the DirectorsLittleBlackBook of more value than the contacts listed in other directories?
Though there are no guarantees, we believe that you have a significantly better chance of your film getting viewed when your submission is addressed to the ‘insiders’ in listed in the DirectorsLittleBlackBook. Our contacts were hand-selected by accomplished film industry veteran (Michael Elliot) using an approach to access that – although unconventional – resulted in a career that has included four studio-released films.
Why is the DirectorsLittleBlackBook only available online?
Hollywood is a fast paced world. Staff changes at agencies and management companies occur daily. As an online directory, we can make changes to your personal database of company ‘insiders’ as they occur.
