"My father, an Oscar-winning writer and one of the founders of the modern Writer's Guild of America, always said, "Agents don't give a damn about the art OR the artist and are only guard dogs shutting out new talent, protecting their established, high-paid clients." Recently the agency 'system' has worsened even further, and talent without representation didn't have a snowball's chance in Hell of ever getting proper representation until Global Artist Agency. The problems of barred access and the lack of security of real representation seem to have been solved with this agency that does not discriminate."

"GAA is a new way of doing things. They are an honest broker that doesn't judge your work. They bring producers and writers together without the pomp and circumstance of the dinosaur agencies."

Paul Fields - Recent UCLA Masters Graduate in Screenwriting

"Even after publishing numerous legal articles and a critically acclaimed non-fiction book, I found it difficult to get a legal thriller novel I wrote into print. Most of my 50 submissions to agents received only a form rejection. GAA is the answer for professional and serious newcomers to the arts. I am impressed by their democratic alternative to the current elitist, unresponsive agency system."

Paul Harris - Lawyer/Law Professor, former President of the National Lawyers Guild, co-founder of the Center for Guerrilla Law, author of Black Rage Confronts the Law; Warrior Lawyer; In the Midnight Hour

"For the first time, there is a no-BS agency. Global Artist Agency is a new virtual agency that will change the way Hollywood enrolls talent."

John Conte - Writer/Film Editor of Shepherd Productions, Screenwriter, Film Editor, WGAw New Media Committee, Member of Board of Directors MPEG

"Global Artist Agency is just the thing independent producers have needed; a real entertainment industry agency that we can go to for our talent needs."

Sam Auster - Auster Productions, director/writer/producer, current feature film "The Return of Joe Rich" in post-production

"When I discovered GAA, I was thrilled that at last there is a dynamic, global agency for both my students and myself to use. GAA is a haven of secure and respectful representation for my use as a producer as well as an artist."

Green Kids Media's current project "Bird Girl" is a trans-media entertainment/game/educational journey into the joys of an enduring green world.

"GAA provides a level playing field for every writer, be he an old codger like myself or the greenest of the green. Best of all, it cuts typical Hollywood agencies, those overflowing with lazy bastards who have no other ambition except to get paid for "doing lunch," out of the loop. There is a reason, after all, that in a TV writing career that began in 1968, I had over 20 agents. My problem was that I kept searching for an honest one willing to do an honest day's work. GAA is the answer to a writer's prayers."

Burt Prelutsky - WGA award-winner, whose credits range from "Dragnet" to "MASH," and include "Bob Newhart," "Mary Tyler Moore," "Diagnosis Murder" and several TV movies. He is a political blogger whose most recent book is "Liberals: America's Termites."

"In my three-plus decades working sound effects, sound editing, looping, etc. for major films and TV series, I found nothing similar to what GAA has to offer post-production talent. I watched many agents who continually sought to make a profit from the so-called "above the line" talent, while the "below the line" artist was of no use to the agent. Now with GAA there is an agency where post-production talent is not only professionally represented, but treated as an equal in the creative process. It's about time."

Jim Troutman - A 3-time Emmy recipient for Sound Editing, including one for his work on Steven Spielberg's "Duel". This along with being a post-production team leader on Jaws and Jaws II are a small part of his industry accomplishments.

"After years of frustration, it is with relief and gratitude that I have finally found an agency to represent me. Global Artist Agency has renewed my hope for what a talent agency can do for an artist. As they say on their website, this agency makes no value judgment about a client's work or talent; enrolling is a simple process and by doing so, I am exposed to, literally, a whole world of possibilities."
