Paradigm Talent Agency has promoted five employees to agents and has also added veteran agent Michael Romero-LoSasso from Gersh to join the company.
The five new agents are Olivia Falletti, Sam Fischer, Lindsay Hatcher, Dahlton Hubbard and Phoebe Schmidt, and all five along with Romero-LoSasso will be a part of the agency’s future and will even be collaborating across other entertainment areas of the company beyond their core focus as the lines between film, streaming, TV and other mediums begin to blur.
“These well-deserved promotions are a recognition of the hard work and commitment – especially through the pandemic – of these five incredibly talented members of our team,” Paradigm partner Andrew Ruf said on behalf of the agency’s department leaders. “We congratulate them and welcome Michael Romero-LoSasso into the agency. These dedicated and inventive agents will continue to have a core focus of expertise as well as collaborate across all specialties of the company in representing our remarkable roster of artists.”
Falletti and Fischer will be literary agents, Schmidt will be a media rights Agent, Hatcher will be a youth talent agent, and Hubbard will be an agent in the company’s music crossover department, continuing to represent artists as part of the shared services agreement with the music group.
The promotions come after news broke last week that sports and media mogul Casey Wasserman had finalized a deal to acquire Paradigm’s North American music assets, including the live-music representation business and the formation of a new operating unit. The deal is expected to close in Q2 2021.
Michael Romero-LoSasso joins Paradigm from Gersh. His experience includes film and television development at Miramax and The Weinstein Company, and Endeavor/WME. Romero-LoSasso specializes in developing the careers of writers and directors, particularly transferring artists from other mediums, such as standup comics and playwrights, into film and television.
