The best shows of the last two decades were the product of unusual creativity and incredible risk. Too bad the TV business has left those qualities behind.

To all our dear clients:

From its early beginnings in April 1962 Hanns Wolters International Inc was a proud SAG and AEA Franchised agency in the city of New York. After long deliberations we have decided to move into a different direction: Management, freelance Management to be exact. Going forward we would like to represent film projects as well as artists, produce and finance movies and exhibitions, consult for organizations and companies, and continue to be one of the leading media marketers in today's world. That will also include an exclusive staple of foreign actresses and actors and NYC character artists, as well as Voice Over experts.

Going forward please let us know if you would like to continue to work with us. We will stay with our commission rate at 10% and we look forward to continuing our long lasting relationships with most of you. Should you already have a management company representing you, please cancel your Breakdown Services link to Hanns Wolters International so that we cannot submit you without your authorization. For those of you who are not exclusively signed to a manager we would gladly continue working with you. We would like to THANK YOU for our long relationship and we wish you continued success in your acting careers, with or without us.

I would also like to thank SAG-AFTRA and AEA for over 50 years of cordial cooperation. The same is true with the Dept. of Consumer Affairs of the City of New York.

My team and I would like to wish all of you a happy holiday season and a healthy and successful 2024.

My very best, Oliver Mahrdt
