Exclusive: Culture Creative Entertainment, the nascent talent agency founded by former Abrams Artists Agency agents Brad Rosenfeld, Paul Weitzman and Karen Kirkland, has a new agent.
The company has promoted Adrian Gonzalez to agent.
Gonzalez joined the company as an intern before becoming executive assistant on Kirkland’s desk and then a year later was promoted to a literary coordinator.
It is the latest move for the company, which earlier this year hired Netflix’s Sherley Ibarra as a literary agent.
Rosenfeld and Weitzman, who were previously co-heads of Abrams Artists Agency, which was rebranded to A3 Artists Agency in March 2020, and fellow lit agent Kirkland set up the company in July 2019 and signed the WGA’s new franchise agreement during the standoff between the guild and the Association of Talent Agents, which led to more than 7,000 writers firing their agents.

Daniel Dugan, Marray Bartlett
Two of the leading actors in the new gay indie film August, Murray Bartlett and Adrian Gonzalez, have at least a brief history in the world of soap operas (All My Children and The Bold and the Beautiful, respectively). It's an interesting coincidence, because — its moody atmosphere and obvious arthouse pretensions aside — the movie is angst-y and full of impossibly pretty boys, just like, well, a soap opera.
On the other hand, what's the problem with that? Trust me: you've never seen a soap opera quite this "gay" before, nor have you ever seen one this joyously sensual.
Five years ago, Troy (Bartlett) and Jonathan (Daniel Dugan) were in the middle of a passionate relationship — but it was not a healthy relationship for Jonathan, who almost lost himself in Troy's smoldering sensuality. Maybe it was a good thing Troy eventually dumped Jonathan and moved to Spain.
