I’m just completing my second feature film and I’m working on a third and I was recently talking to a few actor friends who suggested I look for an agent? Has anyone else done anything like this if so are there any tips on how to go about it?

I'm Oklahoma born and raised, currently living and working in Los Angeles as a cinematographer and camera crew member. Although I'm new-ish (4 months) to LA, I've been working in photography and film for the past 10 years now, and love what I do. I've worked and dabbled in several areas in the film area, whether storyboarding, directing, cinematography, gaffer, grip, PA, audio, editor, colorist, sound tech, etc, but I find that the camera and light are still my love (with a bit of editing on the side). I'm still learning, and still growing with every experience I get. I've recently worked as a cinematographer for a 6 episode comedy series, Humor Me, and am going to be working on a short film this weekend as the same position. I'm excited to find more community and connect locally and internationally. Stage 32, what a great platform!
Great to see you in the lounge, Matthew! Looks like it's time for a STAGE32 MEETUP! https://www.stage32.com/meetups
Congrats on the move, Matt! Terrific to have you here as well. Best of luck with the film this weekend!

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.
Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.
Thanks, and have a creative day!

Brill, I think there a clear pattern there, thank you for that, I’m going to keep focused on the project I’m working on and see where that leads me. If nothing comes of it I can always start looking out for agents then

Expand commentActual licensed agents for creatives - at least in Los Angeles- are ultra selective. A few released films is not always enough to pique their interest in a director. If you have commercial reels, it's far easier to get representation because that is where the paid work is for newer talent. You have to be a comparable sell to the rest of their roster or a shining up-and-comer, anything less is not worth their effort. When an agent does show interest, one is smart to contact others they have repped a while to see if they are happy with the relationship. You should definitely pursue representation starting with the big 3, and then on down to obscure boutiques. If you are lucky, a meet and greet might yield useful feedback toward future representation.
Hello I am looking for a director whom I could share something with.Thanks.
