About Marc
Marc Pariser

My Background

I’ve spent more than three decades working inside the entertainment industry, representing writers, producers, directors, production companies, and comedians.

As a literary and packaging agent at the William Morris Agency and Creative Artists Agency, I worked closely with studios, networks, producers, and talent to develop and sell projects. Along the way, I represented and worked with some of the most recognizable names in film and television.

Today, I continue to represent a select group of writers and directors as an artists’ manager, while also producing films and series across multiple platforms. In my consulting work, I bring that same insider perspective directly to creatives who want honest guidance and practical strategy.

Testimonials

What my clients say!

Writers and filmmakers I work with value direct feedback, strategic thinking, and guidance grounded in real industry experience.

Diane English Creator/Executive Producer, Murphy Brown

“Marc Pariser was my very first television agent, got me my first job, and guided my career in the important early stages. When he sniffs the air and says ‘I smell money’, you know he’s bringing you a great opportunity!”

Roger Young Director

“Marc Pariser is the best agent I ever had. If there is anybody in this town who can help you navigate the twists and turns of a career, Marc is your man. He is caring, smart, honest, knowledgeable, charming, personable, and he knows the town inside and out.”

John Church Producer, 3SidesEntertainment, LivingLostmovie

“Considering utilizing Marc’s consulting service? I have three words for you: Worth Every Penny! I consulted with Marc on behalf of an actor friend of mine; one hour with Marc provided me with the wisdom of an insider with over 30 years in the business; I couldn’t even approach that value with the countless hours I had previously spent researching on the internet. Do yourself a favor: save time, headaches, and ultimately money – consult with Marc.”

David Rosemont Producer

“Marc Pariser is a consummate professional. During his career at CAA while representing me and my production company, Marc displayed the unique talent of managing crisis situations through his expert knowledge of the film and television business, and more importantly through his unique understanding of the human condition. Through Marc’s wisdom, knowledge and experience, he redirected complicated conflicts to a complete resolution where all parties were satisfied, their points were heard, and the respective objectives were achieved. The penultimate results were that many careers flourished and important films found their way to fruition.”

Hillary Bibicoff Transactional Entertainment Attorney

“Marc Pariser is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced entertainment professional, as well as an ethical, caring and dependable person.. Marc and I had mutual clients when he was an agent, and he could always be counted on for direct, practical, sound advice showing his expert knowledge of the business of entertainment. “

David Chishom Writer

“You’d be hard-pressed to find a more genuine, decent and experienced guy than Marc Pariser. He has an uncanny, instinctive feel for the business and knows how to present it. He understands its ebb and flow, its yin and yang. He knows the hood, and the hood is Hollywood. I used to follow Marc around in disguise and steal his advice. But you don’t have to do that now. You can just give him a call.”

Vicki Abelson Actress, Author of Don't Jump: Sex, Drugs, Rock 'N Roll... And My Fucking Mother, Creator and Host of Vicki Abelson's Women Who Write

“Blessed to have a wise mentor… Marc’s the real deal, with genuine intention to be of service and share his knowledge, experience and connections. He’s been an indefatigable advocate of my work. Adore the man and learn so damn much from him.”

Scott Swanton Writer

“Marc is a smart. quality guy with a world of experience. What’s more he’s got heart and a great sense of humor. Believe what you read here. He knows the business inside and out. And did I mention that he’s a real nice guy?”

Armand Galustian CAA

“When it comes to show business, Marc is undoubtedly a walking encyclopedia. I’ve reached out to Marc on multiple occasions for his mentorship. He’s been an invaluable asset in helping me navigate my career.”

Ericka Reynolds Writer

“Marc Pariser is a wealth of knowledge! His understanding of the industry gives him the ability to provide thorough guidance and help you map out a path to achieve success with your endeavors! Our counseling session has aided my understanding of the Industry and the specific steps I need to take to create the career that I desire.”

Joanna Bloem Writer/Producer, New Age Entertainment

“I was about to lose the option on a book from a bestselling author after many years of making hefty option payments, adapting it to screen on spec, and working tirelessly to raise money to produce an indie film. I couldn’t afford the option renewal and the author’s agent flatly refused to give me an option extension without the payment. Marc suggested a brilliant alternative proposal and wrote a fantastic email outlining the offer for me to send to the author. The author’s tough New York agent didn’t go for the new plan, but, in response to the email, she did give me a FREE 6 months Option! I would highly recommend Marc for any kind of negotiation – show business and beyond. He is brilliant, savvy and kind. As a former CAA agent, he knows every aspect of The Biz. He understands how to help someone present him or herself in the best possible light and create a win/win situation for all parties involved. Simply put, he’s the Best! You can’t go wrong with Marc in your corner! I only wish I could talk him into being my agent!”
