This week on VersaVision, we sit down with Tina Randolph Contogenis, founder of Eris Talent Agency, alongside talent agent Tareena Woods.  The agency has positioned itself at the forefront of where the industry is heading.

From what truly makes an actor stand out to how emerging formats like vertical dramas are reshaping opportunity, this conversation delivers the kind of insight actors don’t often get access to.
