Hello Producers and Directors,
I have a question about agents. Let say a girl meets you at a party/convention/whatever, you exchange business cards and you decide to shoot her. After your shoot her agent finds out, does he deserve some commission? especially if the girl sought work outside his referral. Are you liable to pay the agent for talent he represents when the girl books her own work? If this agent ask for money when he didn't refer the girl to you, what do you do? Also some girls are represented by multiple agents and agencies, so how can an agent claim that this is his own talent? Back in the old days you only had three talent agencies (world, reb, and regan) now you have hundreds and every agent claims they own the same girls. even male talent bring girls they worked with on previous sets. that adds to way too much agents. give me your opinions guys!

Doesn't the agent need to book the performer in order to recieve his or hers fee? In other words, wouldn't it have to be something like "I'm Such and Such representing So and SO"?? Otherwise, you were never informed of any agent/booker, thusly I think their fee is killed.
Plus, when you met this perfomer, was she already signed-up with this agent? Can you be held responsible for parties that fail to represent themselves properly?
I don't think you should have to pay one red fucking penny unless either the agent contacted you prior to meeting this performer regarding her availability for work or the performer informed you of her obligation/representation by her agent.
By the way, doesn't the agency cut come out of her fee?

It depends what kind of agreement that the agent has with the girl and if the agent is an asshole. In my opinion if a girl gets work on her own, good for her. I didnt get her the job so why should I get a dime.
On the other hand if you look at it like the mainstream modeling world the agent gets a % of any work the girl gets anywhere at all. So it all depends on the agent,manager or agency.

However, in the mainstream world, an agent usually has a signed contract. Not sure about it in porn, especially since you see some of the same girls on different agent's sights.

BTW, wasn't Roy Garcia a while back stating that he was going to expect a fee no matter what as long as he discovered the girl. Like even if she hadn't gotten a booking from him in three years, he'd expect payment from the company. Of course, I figure most people would tell him to shove it. But I don't remember the exact stuff, maybe Gene Ross or lukeford.com has it archived.

Yes, that moron sent that letter out and everyone laughed thier ass off about it.
I discovered many many girls that moved to LA and got another agent, it happens, another girl comes along. Roy tends to hold grudges and try to get back at people.
I dont.

Robert,
Thanks for answering my questions. I just feel if the girl feels that she needs to book her own shoots, she and the producer should not pay any commission. but if the producer calls the agent then they should be able to collect
