Second, both you and your client must seek a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship. Could it be that no agency can abide them, because they actually need therapy more than they need good advertising? Find out why they are leaving their former agency. So how do you choose your clients? First of all, you must be comfortable working with them, for your relationship will be an intimate one. A first-class agency can afford to be selective because the demand for excellence is always higher than the supply.

Tynesha Foreman, Alice Roth, and Brianna Pressey A punk-rock-meets-aliens story of young romance, it finds itself uncomfortably on the spectrum somewhere between Earth Girls Are Easy and Liquid Sky: neither good enough to be a conventional success nor weird enough to be a cult hit. How to Talk to Girls at Parties, by contrast, seems precisely the film its director, John Cameron Mitchell, intended it to be-and that’s its fundamental problem. The Room, to cite a classic of the last category recently revived by James Franco’s The Disaster Artist, is memorable precisely because of its comprehensive failure ever to be, for even an instant, the tragic, heartbreaking romance it was intended to be.
