Even so, I am astonished at how many agents (especially agents) and models don't bother to read it. Paperwork is done before the shoot, no exceptions. After the model signs everything I ask "How much are we paying you today and what are you doing?" We don't proceed one inch further until pay and assignment are clearly understood. Payment is always made in cash at the end of the shoot.

Looking forward to reading it.
E Book sent.

Had the same problem with agents. A lot of them are clueless. If they couldn't work right, I didn't use them. We were always able to find girls ourselves without agents and insisted any agent who wanted to send us a girl sent her to a casting first.

Once had a casting arranged by an agent at a friends studio in Prague. She arranged for around 25 girls to turn up. She got them to read the script I prepared and fill in our form telling who she is, size, availability and what she will do. On every single one she made the girls leave their contact details off. When we asked her to book 3 of the girls from the casting, she never bothered. So we found out their phone numbers and went direct. When she billed us for commission, she was told where to shove the bill.

Had some good ones and some bad ones. Name of the game

Shooters and the ones with the money, they call the tune. Once you let agents and models dictate the quality of the content dives.
