Kersey Management is a boutique literary management company that nurtures unique storytelling voices in film and tv.
In April 2023 before the WGA strike, client Brian Otting sold his action comedy spec script NEVER TOO OLD TO DIE to Amazon Studios with Sylvester Stallone attached to star and produce.
Also in 2023, his client Ryan Kirkpatrick sold an action spec to Thunder Road Pictures (JOHN WICK franchise) and the comedy VACATION FRIENDS 2 — the sequel to VACATION FRIENDS written by clients Tom and Tim Mullen which was Hulu’s biggest 3-day weekend opener for an original in the streamer’s history — premiered on Hulu.
The company’s incredibly talented clients have projects at all the major studios and streamers. In tv, his clients have sold projects to and written on series for ABC, Fox, NBC, CW, AMC’s ALLBLK, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and WGN America to name a few.
In the “independent” film space, clients of Andrew’s literary management company have had projects distributed by IFC, Saban Films, Well Go USA Entertainment and Anchor Bay Films.
Andrew worked his way up through the industry, starting as a production company intern before landing at 3Arts Entertainment. He left 3Arts to gain experience in development at a Universal-based production company, before starting his own management company, Kersey Management.

In such a short time, Andrew provided incredibly important and insightful feedback and was at the same time generous, funny, and grounded. Thank you so much to him!

Andrew was very good at emphasizing the positive aspects of every script, whether or not he came down positively or negatively overall. He was very considerate and well spoken on how he conveyed criticism but it was always clear he was familiar with the material and was speaking from a wealth of knowledge in the industry.

After only a short "first 15 consultation" with Andrew, I knew I wanted to work with him even more, so I booked a full hour consultation with him. I submitted a pilot script that I had completed several months ago, and was proud of getting to the end of it. But the more I sat with it, the more I felt like it needed something more, but I was just stuck on how to make it better and ultimately more marketable. Andrew's feedback was so incredibly useful, and helped me unlock parts of the story and characters that I had been trying to tell for a while, but didn't quite know how to get there. Even more specifically, Andrew helped me with fleshing out and making primary and secondary characters more three dimensional and true. I really appreciated our conversations and his approach of guiding me towards answers to questions vs. telling me answers right away. He is someone who I would 100% recommend working with, and someone that I hope to continue working with.
