As of June 26, 2007 am looking for scripts/concepts that would translate
to internet video programming/mobile content.
Mary Sue will be in partnering with a NYC-based film agent effective
as of immediately. When Ellen Rosner Feig was was working with a production
company a few years back, she and Mary Sue met in LA about one of Mary
Sue's clients. Although that meeting did result in one of Mary Sue's client's
books being optioned for film, it also began a long standing working relationship
with Ellen and Mary Sue that sold Ellen's book The Ex Files to Adams Media
Corporation in Boston. Ellen is a very smart lady whose talents will take
The Seymour Agency far - as an attorney, Ellen will be acting as a consultant
for contracts. As a former film exec, she will use her contacts in the
film industry to market film. See Ellen's bio below:
Ellen Rosner Feig has been an entertainment attorney and script development consultant for over ten years. During this time she has helped develop and sell over 22 scripts to companies such as Warner Brothers, Lifetime, ABC, NBC, Showtime and Oxygen. As an attorney, Ellen has consulted on film projects with independent film companies such as Belladonna Productions, Mantra Productions, American Princess LLC and others and was a fellow at the Sundance Producer's Workshop in 2003.
Ellen is now looking for original screenplays and adaptations in any genre.
Please forward a concise logline; if interested, she will request a screenplay
by hard copy. efeig@hotmail.com
Please send a self addressed stamped envelope to Mary Sue for a complimentary
copy of her Romantic Times article titled, "How to Pitch to an Editor
or Agent in Ten Minutes."
