FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Los Angeles, CA (January 31, 2012)- Instinctive has partnered with Das Imperium Management to establish an international talent agency network. The Berlin-based film finance, production and development outfit opened Instinctive Management LA under Jeremy Loethen in the US last year representing on screen talent as well as above the line creatives.

Das Imperium MD Georg Gorgi, a prominent player on the European talent scene, will move his agency into Instinctive’s Berlin HQ and take over Instinctive Management Berlin’s existing roster of actor talent and manage the merged client list, while Instinctive’s modeling division will be run separately by its incumbent head of operations Diane Gerth.

The merger will give Instinctive greater access to European talent, with Das Imperium’s diverse multilingual client roster and links to burgeoning filmmakers offering great potential for casting and developing co-productions for the international market. The company will form an established go-to presence for major Hollywood pictures shooting in Europe.

Gorgi said: “We are delighted to come together with Instinctive Management and create an exciting new network for multi-lingual talent. We share the same vision of a fully integrated talent solution for the international market.”

The move comes after Instinctive opened offices in LA and London as well as launching distribution arm Interactor Media, heralding the arrival of the German Indie as a diverse global player and micro-studio.

Instinctive Film and Management CEO Darryn Welch said: “Georg Gorgi and Das Imperium have a strong, long standing reputation in the business. Having someone of Georg’s experience share our vision of building a brand and nurturing talent opens up a lot of opportunities for us both. I am excited to have access to Georg’s knowledge and resources to further strengthen Instinctive’s activities.”

It shows how out of it I was in trying to be in it, acknowledging that I was out of it to myself, and then thinking, “Okay, how do I stop being out of it? Well, I get some legitimate illogical narrative ideas” — some novel, you know?

So I decided on three writers that I might be able to option their material and get some producer, or myself as producer, and then get some writer to do a screenplay on it, and maybe make a movie.

And so the three projects were “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” “Naked Lunch” and a collection of Bukowski. Which, in 1975, forget it — I mean, that was nuts. Hollywood would not touch any of that, but I was looking for something commercial, and I thought that all of these things were coming.

There would be no Blade Runner if there was no Ray Bradbury. I couldn’t find Philip K. Dick. His agent didn’t even know where he was. And so I gave up.

I was walking down the street and I ran into Bradbury — he directed a play that I was going to do as an actor, so we know each other, but he yelled “hi” — and I’d forgot who he was.

So at my girlfriend Barbara Hershey’s urging — I was with her at that moment — she said, “Talk to him! That guy really wants to talk to you,” and I said “No, fuck him,” and keep walking.

But then I did, and then I realized who it was, and I thought, “Wait, he’s in that realm, maybe he knows Philip K. Dick.” I said, “You know a guy named—” “Yeah, sure — you want his phone number?”

My friend paid my rent for a year while I wrote, because it turned out we couldn’t get a writer. My friends kept on me about, well, if you can’t get a writer, then you write.”

“That was the most disappointing thing to me in how this thing was played. Is that I’m on the phone with you now, after all that’s been said, and the fundamental distinction between what James is dealing with in these other cases is not actually brought to the fore. The fundamental difference is that James Franco didn’t seek to use his position to have sex with anyone. There’s not a case of that. He wasn’t using his position or status to try to solicit a sexual favor from anyone. If he had — if that were what the accusation involved — the show would not have gone on. We would have folded up shop and we would have not completed the show. Because then it would have been the same as Harvey Weinstein, or Les Moonves, or any of these cases that are fundamental to this new paradigm. Did you not notice that? Why did you not notice that? Is that not something notable to say, journalistically? Because nobody could find the voice to say it. I’m not just being rhetorical. Why is it that you and the other critics, none of you could find the voice to say, “You know, it’s not this, it’s that”? Because — let me go on and speak further to this. If you go back to the L.A. Times piece, that’s what it lacked. That’s what they were not able to deliver. The one example in the five that involved an issue of a sexual act was between James and a woman he was dating, who he was not working with. There was no professional dynamic in any capacity.
