Meet Atlanta Talent Agent Gina Henry – Live

Industry Talk: Conversations with a Talent Agent
Meet Atlanta Talent Agent Gina Henry of MI Talent
Presented by The Georgia Arts Initiative | Sponsored by Words In Motion Actors Studio
Live on Zoom – Wednesday, July 15, 2025 | 2:00–3:15 PM EDT
What Makes a Talent Agent the Right Fit?
In the world of acting, finding an agent isn’t just about signing with the first one who says “yes”—it’s about finding the right one. That means alignment in values, communication style, expectations, and vision. And let’s be honest—not every actor fits every agent. That’s why The Georgia Arts Initiative created the Meet Atlanta Talent Agent series.
This ongoing educational series gives actors, filmmakers, and creatives across Georgia an inside look into how different Atlanta-based talent agencies operate, what they look for in clients, and how to build authentic, lasting professional relationships in the entertainment industry.
This Month’s Guest: Gina Henry of MI Talent
On Wednesday, July 9, 2025, we’re honored to welcome Gina Henry, a respected agent with MI Talent, to join us for a live Zoom session. Gina brings years of insight and no-nonsense clarity to her work, helping actors navigate the business with both heart and strategy.
During this virtual roundtable, Gina will share:
-
What MI Talent looks for in new clients
-
How the agency supports actors beyond the booking
-
The most important factors when evaluating new talent
-
Tips for actors navigating the representation process
We’ll also open the floor for a live Q&A, giving attendees the chance to ask questions and receive direct feedback from one of Atlanta’s working professionals.
