If given the choice, who would you choose to represent your 5 year old daughter, Marilyn Zitner Management or CESD Agency?

Ones a manager and one is an agent so not really a good comparison. They do different things and technically, you could have them both.
If you had to choose ONE( for some reason), I think i'd choose Zitner. She would likely get you signed with Abrams or Innovative (at some point) and have you going out for everyone commercially. You'd be hard pressed to find a better manager than Zitner.

Were you offered across the board representation at CESD? Because CESD legit would be pretty hard to pass up if there was an offer there but I'd rather be with Marilyn commercially. So it really depends on who is offering you what at CESD.

CESD! It's non-debatable, especially for a kid! It's the "William Morris" for kids on both coasts.

Managers CAN'T legally get you work! So there's another reason it would be stupid to pass on CESD for Marilyn.

You can sign with Zitner AND CESD. If CESD is offering across the board, I'd take it. If not Sign with Zitner and CESD (for whatever they offered, commercial or legit)and work with the manager for the other area. If CESD is only offering commercial, Zitner will help you find a legit agent. Again, NY is different than LA and you can freelance for commercial.
