Hi,
Has anyone been to an open day with IMG in New York? How does it work? Do you just meet with one person?

 

[Li Ya Fan]

Not really agency question, but is Elite NY no longer on Modelwire?

Heh I was scouted by both Pat Collins and Mode! Pat is a super sweet lady

Looooooove pat collins. Tell us how it goes!! Pat is in the good books with *everyone* as an excellent mother agent in the standard new york/milan/paris scene. On TOP of that she's super duper in touch with the asian market.

No they're not on model wire imaging. But they probably still use modelwire booking software.

I was scouted by her when I was quite young (13 i think) but I ended up signing with mode.

What do people think of Silent in Paris? Industry vibes or gossip? Paris must be tough market for new agencies.. Do you think they will survive?

 

[rocksalittle]

Oddly, Elite seems to be removed from model wire.

When you are seeing a new agency, if you have a book or not, its best NOT to go on open call. Try to get a personal introduction with someone with a good working relationship. Even if they don't pick you up they will likely point you in a good direction.

Depends who's behind it. Where'd the bookers come from, who's running it, and who's backing it financially. I'll ask the booking table I work at tommorow morning, and I'll see what they know

They've got a rcoking board though. What's hard about new agencies is unless you have a kickass director, *amazing* bookers and a rock solid accounting dep't you'll build the girls and then lose them to bigger shops.

Supposedly Eric Dubois and some bookers from Madison start this agency, but I don't know any more.

I think they have some good girls, but we will have to wait and see, I guess.

Yes I work for Next and Artists by Timothy Priano.

They have a good board, yes. I don't recall ever hearing any dirty business regarding them either.
