When it comes to defining talent, numerous organizations exist around the world. Moreover, people commonly refer to these organizations as talent agencies. For those unaware, talent agencies recruit and nurture talented individuals. In particular, talent agencies usually go after musicians, actors, models, and dancers. However, joining a talent agency oftentimes has its drawbacks. To expand further, numerous talent agencies exist with no intention of propelling their clients into stardom. Moreover, these agencies prey on their client's aspirations for monetary gain. However, a few talent agencies continue to deflect such stereotypes. Moreover, these talent agencies remain renowned around the world for their ability to market their talent. With that being said, the Brown Modelling Agency remains the talent agency in reference.

Following this through, take pop phenomenon, Justin Beiber, for instance; Justin was found on YouTube by Atlanta based manager, Scooter Braun (Kaufman, 2010). As stated by Gladwell, “Mavens are people who have a strong compulsion to help others” (69). A manager in music is somewhat similar; a manager’s job is to handle the business of an artist, making sure the labels are doing their job and helps the artist keep their focus on music (About.com: Music Careers). Continuing on, manager Scooter Braun insisted on meeting the soon to be pop sensation, so he set up a meeting with Justin and his mom where Justin would have then accidentally run into R&B superstar Usher (Kaufman, 2010). Usher, in this case would be referred to as the connector, an individual who has many ties in many realms and act as the passage between them. Ushers role would be connector since he landed Justin a professional deal and formed a joint-venture label with Braun and Antonio L.A. Reid, the

It seems like everywhere you turn today, young people are attempting to break into the entertainment industry. Some have talent, and some don't, but a vast majority do not understand the amount of work nor the length of time required to establish yourself as an actor of any merit. A couple of months ago, I had a very pleasant chat with a young lady named Valerie Lohman, and I was incredibly impressed with her drive, work ethic, and humility as we chatted about her career from its inception until now (and even a hint at what is yet to come). RH: Nice to talk with you today, Valerie.  VL:  So nice to talk with you too, Ruth.

The careers of Hollywood acting talents, Jesse Eisenberg and Jason Segel, are not entire dissimilar to one another – both gaining notoriety and the attention of moviegoers via harebrained comedies, like Adventureland (Eisenberg) and Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Segel). Since their respective big breaks into the spotlight, Eisenberg and Segel, alike, obviously desire to be credible in genres outside the realm of comedy.

Motion pictures are a key driver of the market for entertainment products, one of the largest export markets in US. Motion picture industry consists of three stages: studio production, distribution, and exhibition. The studios produce the lifeblood of the industry, the films that are its content. The biggest players at this level are the majors, big studios which integrate production and distribution, as do the slightly smaller mini-majors. The next stage is distribution. Distributors are the intermediaries between the studios and exhibitors. Distribution entails all steps following a film’s artistic completion including marketing, logistics, and administration. Distributors coordinate the manufacture and distribution of

I may serve food, and make drinks, and clean tables, create wait-lists, make recommendations, receive tips, but I want to make one thing clear: I’m not a server. I am not even in the food industry. I am an actor. I won’t be winning any oscars, nor do I have a page on IMDB, but I am an actor nevertheless, and I am amongst the best actors out there. I’ve been in the industry for just about four years now, on and off, but I’ve already been in three productions. Office Depot was my breakout role, then I moved to a more serious role at Flattop Grill, and currently I am in the more independent-esque production, Pie Bar. It has been quite a journey in getting here, but I feel like I have finally found the role I was born to do.

The lack of diversity in mainstream films and television shows have not changed much since the movie industry has begun. The ever-expanding entertainment industry seems to lack what Americans are searching for. My claim is that Hollywood does not reflect how diverse our society really is! There’s three reasons to support my claim, first, the film industry is dominated by a majority white figures. I have more evidence that suggest that Hollywood continuously reinforces negative stereotypes. Lastly, there is a lack of representation for African Americans entertainers and African American agents. Hollywood is also a city in California, annexed from Los Angeles also famously known as “The Creative City”. However, films we produce in Hollywood does not reflect how diverse our society has become since the beginning of the movie industry.

One major aspect that was learned through this experience is that it can be extremely difficult to get in contact with actors who have agency, like The Quarters. They are not losing anything by choosing not to respond to our questions. But on the other hand, actors with less agency often respond because a good public image of them is beneficial to helping them gain agency or donations from individuals. Another interesting lesson is that even though affordable housing is difficult to find for University of Iowa and Kirkwood students in the Iowa City area ($500 a month per person is considered reasonable), those with considerably lower incomes or those that have a lack of familial support have an increasingly difficult time

Filmmaking is one of many types of complex product development involving not solo, but collective creativity . In both filmmaking and an annual publication, such as the ARSP (this issue 140 pages), a large number of people with complementary talents, but often from different disciplines and with different levels of experience and cultural backgrounds, work together to solve many problems. They make hundreds of decisions in the process of developing a large project where everyone’s contribution, no matter how small, adds significant value to the creative collective outcome. A film usually takes four to five years. The ARSP takes a full year to come to fruition and almost 10 years to achieve the results of this celebratory issue.
