I contacted someone named Rose Battle about one of her talents who self-submitted for an upcoming project and she replied back by saying "We would not be interested at this time." which was odd because if this talent was not interested then why did this talent submit in the first place? Odd right?!

I became part of the UMMI family several years ago and will continue to be part of the group as long as they will have me! Rose, the queen, is easy to get in contact with and is always responsive and willing to listen and guide. This takes trained patience and time management because you can hear in her voice she is busy yet she always lets you bend her ear. As a SAG sanctioned franchise talent agency based out of "ATL-wood" UMMI is in the thick of the busiest production hub of the southeast...definitely a gem if you're looking for topnotch talent from an agent with top notch production and "show
