Ask an Agent: How do agents actually work? (with Jack Gilchrist from Casarotto) — Emerging: How to Eventually Make it in Film & TV

After talking about our preferences and the challenges of getting an agent last week (and for a good year prior), today we've actually managed to corner one to answer all of our questions directly - so please welcome the exceedingly lovely, exceedingly patient Jack Gilchrist, an agent at Casarotto Ramsay & Associates here in the UK!

How do agents realise they want to be agents? How do agents *become* agents? How many of their clients did they actually find via a cold email? What does a good agent/client relationship actually look like? Jack very kindly walks us through the answers to ALL of these questions, and many many more in what quickly became our longest episode ever.

And just in case that wasn't enough, we also cover how to become a Mercedes Benz salesman, and why the Lizzie McGuire Movie has truly stood the test of time. Don't say we never spoil you!
