If you're a film or TV writer, you know who Seth Nagel is. And chances are if he doesn't represent you, you wish he did. Seth is a manager/producer shepherding and shaping writers ideas and scripts into viable projects for sale. He knows what the buyers want because he played for years on the other side in Acquisitions (this is how I met Seth, as he was one of the dirty dozen you wanted at your distributor screening if you made a movie and needed to sell it). His resume is almost too long to list, but some of the notable places he left his mark finding, buying, and getting movies and TV shows distributed are: USA Films and Screen Gems/Columbia TriStar. He has since partnered or started his own management companies representing writers and helping them get their movies made.
