Is it a red flag if they found me?

Agency messaged me after a short film screening. Flattering, but everything I read says good representation does not chase people with no credits.

    Being scouted at a screening is completely legitimate. That is where scouting happens. The red flags are money and pressure, not who reached out.

    Check them out properly. Who is on the roster, what have those people done in the last two years, are they licensed where they operate.

    If at any point there is a fee, a mandatory photographer, or a required class, it is not an agency.

    A real one will be happy for you to take a week and ask around. Urgency is the tell.
