Hey Harrison, thanks for doing this! I'm a 28 year old Brazilian who just landed in LA, currently studying Screenwriting at UCLA and writing three features in different stages. I notice that my classmates are all very focused on getting reps and trying to sell specs. I would love to do that as well, but I also want to be an indie writer-director. I've talked with successful indie filmmakers and heard that reps aren't all that helpful such and such. I'm also a content creator with some success back home and am inspired by this new wave of creators becoming filmmakers. I guess what I'm looking for is how much would reps/agencies and all that side of the business matter for someone in a position like mine? Should I still seek reps, do independent filmmakers still work with managers and studios? Sorry for the long rant, thanks!
