“IMTA does a terrific job of bringing unknowns into the spotlight.”

Judith Fontaine, Fontaine Management, Los Angeles

There’s no other place that you could go and find so many agents and managers and casting people in one room at the same time. It’s phenomenal..the best way to get started. One of my favorite IMTA discoveries…Seann William Scott is doing wonderfully. He is a huge movie star now.

Patrick Baca, Nassif & Baca Casting, Los Angeles

One of the very first people we found here, when he was nine years old, was Elijah Wood. Soon after that was another guy, Dalton James, who came to IMTA twice from Sacramento. One of the most recent real success stories is obviously Katie Holmes.

Al Onorato, Unified Management, Los Angeles

I discovered Sara Downing who has been on a number of television shows as well as features, Carle Warren who is on ‘Judging Amy’, Josh Hammond who is in ‘Black Cadillac’ that is coming out, and many more.
