I think most of these are still carry overs from Bryan, Levine and Weinstein’s days at Endeavor, but more power to them for bringing them over. Excited to see who their first poached client is from the big agencies.
Rich Wilkes? SCORE! /sarcasm
Awesome! Go male writers, so nice to see those guys finally having a chance to tell their stories, it’s about time — yah!
Wow, they’ve kept busy! Looks like they are going to be some major players in Hollywood soon.
I keep hearing about them. Time to do some more detective work, ha!
Aren’t these all former Endeavor Clients?
Maybe they are starting the new hot agency???
Nikki please confirm!
What is with the name Verve? I kinda forgot about these guys but I’m glad to see they’ve got your attention. Boutique agencies are becomming more attractive these days!
Will they be representing David Silverman for his producer/director or a sousaphone playing talents — or both?
Funny how many people keep putting these guys down for having the balls to go out and try to start their own company. I’d be willing to bet none of you in here have ever done anything that gutsy…the putdown comments really are quite pathetic.
I just met Rob Edwards last night and I gotta say he is one stand-up guy! Hope his success continues to shine the way!
I have a story, like a thousand other authors, but I want someone to read mine.
I know the potential of a Disney movie and I feel I have the clue…sounds egotistical
however, no no no. A story line with a surprise ending Let me know if some
agent in your NEW…NEW potentially great agency would take the pages and not
just leaf through, give it some thought and maybe we can both make a few greens!
