I checked out their website and they seem to offer the world to actors who are relocating to LA - for a price.

All I can say is that companies like this that offer shortcuts are rarely able to deliver. It concerns me that they use three agent quotes from established agencies. Part of me wants to call those agents and ask - what's up with that? I would never allow my name to be used this way.

So to answer your question...

We've never heard of them. We've never received a submission from them. And we would never use them to find new talent.

I met with this company's "founder." The "credentials" she boasted were bogus, and her behavior was entirely unprofessional.

I've since searched all the agents who offer testimonials. Only one is listed with the agency designated. And I don't like the look of it, a virtual cattle call roster, with, "SOOO, like OMG!" language:

""Nicole - I just wanted to say thank you SOOO very much for sendinng Matt my way!!! Smiler Theatrical and Commercials ended up wanting to sign him...you know that our kids department is like #1!!! I'm SOOO excited for him! And of course, we signed him for print. Can't wait to get him here!!!"

And the latest "success stories?" Children of "founder" Shelene Bryan, aka stage mom. This, coupled with the two and half hour drive from LA to Thousand Oaks and back, plus the hour they kept me waiting, agree with Secret Agent Man. Investigate elsewhere.
