Worst staff ever. The owner is rude and does not understand what it means to be a parent and take care of kids. My daughter was ill and they basically said if she didn't attend a casting call she would be dropped. They are unethical when it comes to the care of children. If you value your child, do not work with this agency. I am not disgruntled because my daughter attended quite a few casting calls and she worked quite often. Palomas attitude stinks and she is an awful business woman.

We LOVE PMT. I have a set of twins signed with them. Melinda is so wonderful at giving feedback on Self tape auditions that weve submitted. When Melinda was out, the covering agent Alysa, was so responsive and gave detailed feedback. I couldnt speak higher of this agency. They work hard to get auditions for their talent. They truly care about the kids they have signed and help new parents navigate the industry.
