Anyone with them? I have a friend who is having a meeting with them tomorrow. Also, are they an agency or management team? Shes asking about fees and I told her standard agency fees but wasn't sure what they are. Thanks.

Controversial agency. Somehow, gee whiz, discussions about this agency, even when polite and fair, get deleted. Take that as you will.

I had a meeting with them as well monday...They are a model management. They said there are no fees up front but that they recommend photos be done because we don't have professional ones. They offer them there I understood but left us to make final decision if we want to use professional photos or just snapshots as well as how to get them. We still have not made a decision.

Thanks so much! I am going to look for a NYC list of reputable places for her. I know in NY you tend to freelance between agencies, correct? So is it recommended to go with a Manager there?

In my understanding most agencies do not allow you to freelance

Future Faces kids book all the big name jobs.

Good to hear! We have been attending open castings/go sees on our own with no luck... Hope once we are represented we will book

My child is with an agency for theee months.SHe had one audition.she was accepted by futurefaces . Looking for positive feedback from futurefaces clients. THanks!

Personally - top kids agencies -
Ford
Wilhelmina
Generation

Funnyface

Look into everything before signing or agreeing to go with an agency - also ask questions when signing a management contract = be sure the management group has the contacts and credentials to get with good agents.

Thanks for the great advice

I see that Future Faces is having an open call. Do they only represent kids in NY?

Not sure, we are not with them.They have a Facebook you can ask on there.

There have been some pretty contentious posts about them and you should do some research on any agency/management firm before you sign with them. Check out the business name and the owners name as well. Agencies and managers can refer you to photographers or classes(everyone has favorites) but you should not be pressured to use them. BTW-my DD doesn't do print so not with any modeling agency--just basic advice to any newbie.

There's a lot of good general advice about the biz on the thread OhioDad started about MMG. Much of the info applies to Future Faces.

People will resist posting anything on this thread at this point because FF gets these threads removed if anything remotely critical is written. Lots of us have posted general advice only to see it deleted.

The Parent's magazine list is good but they are missing a lot of good agencies like Innovative etc. I think the list is old. I know nothing about Future Faces or MMG so I wouldn't add those but you never know. I cannot comment on things I have no knowledge about personally
