Hi Bettie -

Thanks for the note - having known you for some years now and seen you at
our events, frankly I think you'd make a great agent! Rather than waiting
for someone else to train you, ever consider going into business yourself,
researching as you can with other agents (I can help hook you up with some
of them if you'd like) and making it happen yourself? There's certainly a
high demand for agents who are passionate about film music like I know you
are.

Please let me know if I can help -

Mark Northam
