"You don't always have to get an A. Sometimes, take it easy and let the universe take you for a ride."Originally from Serbia and fluent in four languages, Sean Dubravac was passionate about helping underdeveloped countries; he wanted to work at the UN or an NGO, so he graduated in International Development Studies from UCLA. As he needed to make money to pay for his college degree, he started throwing parties for film premieres, wrap parties, and fashion events. Eventually, he started hanging out with actors, producers, and writers and became a publicist for some of them. Before he knew it, he was in love with the industry. Then he and his partner and long-time friend, Matt Ilczuk, started Entertainment Lab, which started as a company with no physical offices, and now has two locations, one in LA and one in NY. Entertainment Lab is a Talent & Literary Management company guiding actors, writers, and directors in film, TV, theater, commercial, print, and voice-over work. The roster has included Academy Awards, Emmy, WGA, and SAG awards, BAFTA, GLAAD, AFI, and other festival and award contenders. In this special episode, Sean shows us the side of Hollywood many actors never see. He talks about what kind of actors they look forward to representing at Entertainment Lab and the dos and don'ts of self-tapes, headshots, wardrobes, and auditions from a talent manager's point of view. We also discussed scriptwriting; Sean kindly shared golden nuggets on how to pitch a script to an agency, the importance of creating powerful taglines, and much more.
