1) When looking for representation, I’d look for production companies that have more than just directors on their rosters. Traditional directors and filmmakers can, and should, collaborate with experiential talent—and you’ll have more opportunities to do so and get involved in nontraditional storytelling if you’re all working under one banner.
2) Young producers should be exposed to as much talent and as many different vendors in the industry as possible and use their work to test, play and try new things with other young artists. To that point, the way things are trending, I’d look for a privately held agency where you can learn your craft. At public agencies, internal vendors are gobbling up a lot of the work juniors do, and it’s limiting exposure and development for juniors.
