Poor guy.
Cullen is one of the best guys in the business. A gentleman, a scholar and a true supporter of quality films and filmmakers. He’ll be a huge success at ICM. Congrats, Cullen!
cullen is the best! smart and thoughtful. love him! smart move by ICM!
So he’s going from Sundance, an institution that was established to give new writers/filmmakers a chance, to ICM, where rejecting and ignoring new writers/filmmakers is not only part of the mission statement, but a way of life. Nice!
Sad, but true.
And same thing can be said all over Century City.
Oh good for him!Good guy.
I thought agents and clients came to us to kill/destroy their careers… I’ll call myself strikes again!
Real or fake?
Cullen is great with talent. Good news for all involved (except Sundance)
Good dude. Good taste. Good hire.
smart of ICM to grab him. smart smart smart.
We have worked with Cullen for years. Great guy. Very smart acquisition for ICM!
Cullen has a deep list of filmmaker relationships, very smart of him to become an agent and of ICM to get him. With Bart/Christina and now this, ICM is making bold moves.
Cullen is fantastic! Very cool for all involved.
On of the best!
Whoooooo hoooooo!
