FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. What is the commission charged by UFPI for representation?

A. UFPI offers two types of representation. The first is representation by an Manager, to which the client is charged 10% commission by the Manager for all work the client completes. The second is representation by an Agent, to which the client is charged 10% commission by the Agent for all work secured by the Agent. If the client secures their own work they will not have to pay the Agent a commission.

Q. Who does UFPI represent?

A. UFPI represents a large number of clients across the entertainment industry. Who we do or don't represent will have no bearing on another clients career. If you are talented at what you do and are looking for representation then apply to UFPI. But please do not be under the illusion that high profile clients at UFPI will help your career if you are represented at the same agency as them, because you are only wasting our time and yours.

Q. What sort of projects have clients previously secured work on?

A. UFPI secure auditions (Talent Management International) or interviews (Creative Artists Management) for their clients. It is then up to the client to perform well and secure the part or job. Pervious and present clients of UFPI have auditions and secured parts on The Guards, Resident Evil 4, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Your Highness, Seeing Smoke, The Dammed United, The Tudors, Three and Out, The Dark Knight, Quantum of Solace, Hollyoaks, Fair City, The Bill, and many more including theatre and commercials.

Q. Outside of representation at UFPI, am I allow to pursue work myself?

A. If you are represented by a Manager at UFPI then you are not permitted to pursue any work yourself. If you are represented by an Agent at UFPI then yes you are allowed to pursue work directly yourself if you so wish. However it is highly recommended that you discuss these plans with your Agent. If you submit yourself for work your Agent has already pitched you for, you make both yourself and your Agent look foolish and unprofessional.

Q. Can I have other representation while represented at UFPI?

A. While represented at UFPI, you are represented in Ireland, the United Kingdom and United States of America, and each Agent has their own team. However should you wish to sign with other representation you are permitted to do so, provided that you give us written conformation to the company prior to signing with other representation, otherwise you are in breach of your agreement with UFPI. If you are represented by a Manager you can only sign with other representatives through your Manager, otherwise you are in breach of your agreement with UFPI.

Q. If either side wishes to terminate the agreement, can they, and if so what is the time period?

A. If UFPI wishes to drop the client, or the client wishes to leave UFPI, either side is required to give twenty (20) days written notification. The client is also permitted during notification or following to allow UFPI to close out any business currently in pursuit on the clients behalf. If the client refuses to adhere to said business developments, UFPI may invoice the client for time lost, or file legal action against the client for breach of contract.
