Brian Lutz is a literary talent manager and entrepreneur with a proven track record of launching major careers, building hit franchises, and founding innovative businesses at the intersection of media and technology.

Born in Allentown, PA, Brian moved to Los Angeles after high school. His first client was Vince Vaughn, and his first film project was the now-iconic Swingers. That early start led to a career defined by championing top-tier talent and helping shape commercially successful projects.

He played a key role in the development and sale of hit television and film properties, including NBC’s The Blacklist (218 episodes,) Game Night ($117M worldwide,) Neighbors ($150M worldwide,) Megamind ($330M worldwide,) and 17 Again ($136M worldwide.)

As an entrepreneur, Brian has co-founded two successful software companies:

 • Mediachase, an early e-commerce platform later acquired by marketing leader Optimizely
• Symbonic, an IP-centered business system used by premium content studios such as AGBO

Brian has represented a wide range of creatives — writers, directors, producers, actors, comedians, and musicians — and has produced both studio and independent films. His producing credits include:

• Just Your Luck, starring Virginia Madsen, Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, Flea, and John Lurie
• Pink as the Day She Was Born, a Russ Meyer-style coming-of-age musical by singer, songwriter, Linda Perry
• Accepted (Universal Pictures), starring Justin Long, Jonah Hill, and Blake Lively

Throughout his career, Brian has run a low-overhead, high-return business with a sharp commercial instinct and deep knowledge of the industry. He’s a loyal advocate for his clients, with a track record of million-dollar spec sales, multi-million-dollar overall deals, and successful creative packaging. His experience spans creative development, business development, international co-productions, and independent financing.
