Easiest Way To Get Represented By An Agent Or Manager - Bomani J. Story

In this Film Courage video interview Screenwriter Bomani J. Story shares how having an agent or manager is crucial for creatives as they can provide valuable assistance in promoting and advancing their careers. They help with pushing scripts, establishing official connections, and bridging the gap between unknown artists and industry professionals. Agents and managers have the knowledge and network to get the work noticed and increase its reach. They also offer feedback and guidance on industry trends and appropriate avenues for creative projects. While gatekeepers can be frustrating, they play a complex role in the industry, making decisions based on various factors beyond personal preferences.

Bomani J. Story was born in Riverside, California and raised in Redlands, California. Growing up, Bomani always had a love of reading literature and watching films. He even spent time writing his own short stories as a child. Upon graduation of high school, Bomani cut his teeth on filmmaking when he started making short films with his fellow collaborators. After two years at San Bernardino Valley College, Bomani was accepted into the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts to study film production. Since his graduation from USC in 2010, he has been honing his skills as a writer and director. Bomani makes his directorial debut with a reimagining of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, "The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster", a classic literary horror story filmed through a modern lens (which world premiered at 2023 SXSW).

Stuff we use:

LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - http://amzn.to/2tbtmOq

AUDIO

Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post https://amzn.to/425k5rG

Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - https://amzn.to/3WEuz0k

LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - http://amzn.to/2u5UnHv
