WendiNiad
Founder/Manager/Mother to All

Ms. Niad began her career at ICM in the motion picture literary department, working with such clients as Robert Rodriguez (Spy Kids; El Mariachi), Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge), Randall Wallace (Braveheart; Pearl Harbor), Spike Lee, Gregory Allen Howard (Remember the Titans; Ali); Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) and many others.

Preferring to work more closely with her clients in a friendlier and less corporate environment, Ms. Niad became a manager where she now represents screenwriters, directors, authors and actors. She began Niad Management in July of 1997 and has been flourishing ever since.

With a very strong belief in and commitment to community service, Ms. Niad is also a mentor for high school students through the Friars Charitable Foundation, volunteers regularly at The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks on the Community Service Committee and as Library Chair, is an e-pal on in2books and mentors children in reading and writing.

At the urging of many former interns and assistants, Ms. Niad attempts to help aspiring screenwriting adults by explaining how to navigate Hollywood...on your own! in her 6 week class at UCLA Extension called Street Smarts for the Screenwriter which she has been teaching since 2008.
