I was recently asked by a very talented 18-year-old aspiring Country Western singer whether she should try to...

“You’d be hard-pressed to find a more genuine, decent and experienced guy than Marc Pariser. He has an uncanny, instinctive feel for the business and knows how to present it. He understands its ebb and flow, its yin and yang. He knows the hood, and the hood is Hollywood. I used to follow Marc around in disguise and steal his advice. But you don’t have to do that now. You can just give him a call.”

“Considering utilizing Marc’s consulting service? I have three words for you: Worth Every Penny!
I consulted with Marc on behalf of an actor friend of mine; one hour with Marc provided me with the wisdom of an insider with over 30 years in the business; I couldn’t even approach that value with the countless hours I had previously spent researching on the internet. Do yourself a favor: save time, headaches, and ultimately money – consult with Marc.”

“Marc Pariser is a wealth of knowledge! His understanding of the industry gives him the ability to provide thorough guidance and help you map out a path to achieve success with your endeavors! Our counseling session has aided my understanding of the Industry and the specific steps I need to take to create the career that I desire.”
Joanna Bloem
Writer/Producer, New Age Entertainment
“I was about to lose the option on a book from a bestselling author after many years of making hefty option payments, adapting it to screen on spec, and working tirelessly to raise money to produce an indie film. I couldn’t afford the option renewal and the author’s agent flatly refused to give me an option extension without the payment.
Marc suggested a brilliant alternative proposal and wrote a fantastic email outlining the offer for me to send to the author. The author’s tough New York agent didn’t go for the new plan, but, in response to the email, she did give me a FREE 6 months Option!
I would highly recommend Marc for any kind of negotiation – show business and beyond. He is brilliant, savvy and kind. As a former CAA agent, he knows every aspect of The Biz. He understands how to help someone present him or herself in the best possible light and create a win/win situation for all parties involved. Simply put, he’s the Best! You can’t go wrong with Marc in your corner! I only wish I could talk him into being my agent!”
David Rosemont
Producer
“Marc Pariser is a consummate professional. During his career at CAA while representing me and my production company, Marc displayed the unique talent of managing crisis situations through his expert knowledge of the film and television business, and more importantly through his unique understanding of the human condition. Through Marc’s wisdom, knowledge and experience, he redirected complicated conflicts to a complete resolution where all parties were satisfied, their points were heard, and the respective objectives were achieved. The penultimate results were that many careers flourished and important films found their way to fruition.”
