The More/Medavoy Mission
More/Medavoy believes that great things can only be achieved through true partnership. And inherent in true partnership is a collision, an explosive coming together of two disparate forces. Most people think of partnership as a collaboration, a simple act of teamwork. This is certainly accurate, but working only through collaboration leads to two people doing the exact same thing, with the same result as working alone. In collision, though, one finds that bringing together different people, different skills, different philosophies, can lead to an unexpected outcome that’s greater than any single person can imagine.
It is the unique disparate perspectives that each of us possess that challenge to push beyond boundaries to not just create opportunity as artists and professionals but also to create momentum in a complex marketplace. We thrive on the wonderful partnerships with the artists we represent. We find great pride in the work they exhibit, whether it be performance in film, television, new media, or theatre, or work behind the camera as director, or the written word come to life.
