John Casablancas Vancouver Model Management

Horrible agency with low rates and a mean, unprofessional agent who forgets information all the time. She is moody and nasty.

I LIKE THESE AGENTS!!!
Both the modeling & acting agents here are excellent & very professional. Both are experienced at representing and have a vast understanding of the industry & how that impacts business here in Vancouver. Both are former models & actors… So they know the business inside & out. This agency has endured & prospered while others have fallen to the wayside… So they really DO KNOW their stuff!
Both agents will be honest & direct with you in their assessment of your skills … & of course if they sign you up –they expect the same honesty & integrity & high standards of professionalism in return. I frequently get notices about various upcoming classes & workshops in Vancouver (that are worthwhile in their eyes) to help me improve my skills & be a more commercially viable model & actor.
That is why I continue to work with this agency, and frequently refer my colleagues to them. The agents return my calls & emails in a timely fashion, & work with only the reputable clients, casting directors, photographers & other industry professionals. (Vancouver is still a «small pond» & any news of unbecoming or unprofessional conduct gets around fast). I have always been treated with respect. I find both agents were especially patient in answering my questions & helping me navigate my way when I was a newbie to the biz, seven years ago.
Safety & health of all the members of the roster is important to these agents. I have never been made to feel like I was just «a piece of meat», nor a «ditzy model», nor a «struggling actor», nor «another paycheque» — I genuinely feel that both these agents want me to become the best I can possibly be -& then EVERYONE in the industry benefits! Yes, I honestly beIieve this! They work hard & so do I!
The agents themselves are absolutely 5 stars all the way!
My only critique… the agency’s accounting system leaves a few things to be desired: It needs updating & modernizing to bring it in line with the standards of other agencies that I also work with. When I get my cheque, I need to see how EVERYTHING breaks down: what is GST, HST, fees, etc… I am not OCD –it is just that I need to have all that specific info for when I prepare my tax returns every year… Or the auditor is going to come a knockin’…
Thx JC Vancouver… You gals & guys are THE BEST!!!
