According to the principals, CCE will initially focus on writers and directors but will expand to include other areas of representation as they grow.

“The current situation between agents and the WGA has brought the needs of writers into sharp focus,” Weitzman said. “It feels like the time is right to create an agency whose success will be directly aligned with our clients’ interests first”. “Our clients are some of the best in the business,” Kirkland said. “The goal is to create a culture of inclusivity and to provide each of our clients with access and opportunities in the facets of entertainment that most interests them. The three of us bring a wealth of knowledge from various aspects of the business and equally as important — the care and respect we have for our clients is reflected in the work we do with them and for them.

Bold spoke highly of Rosenfeld and Weitzman. “They are fierce advocates for their clients, and they did a great job for Abrams,” he said. “And I wish them the very best. And I mean this with all sincerity: those two are very ethical, good men.”
