jobs reading years
I wanted an agent who would actually sell stuff.

challenges gone television
The scripts for Marco Polo are absolutely, positively fantastic. The challenge of making that show in China has proved to be as formidable as we feared. It's not like making a movie in China where, once you load up and you leave, you're gone.
