As a motion picture literary agent at Creative Artists Agency, Kelly Berger represents film directors, writers, actors, and producers. She identifies emerging voices and guides transitions and negotiations. Over the past year, Berger has led a slate of competitive, career-defining deals, including Rachel Kondo's feature adaptation of "The Women" at Warner Bros.; Todd Bartels' and Lou Howe's "Murder 101" at Amazon (with director Jon Watts); Hannah Friedman's "Yesteryear" at Amazon (with Anne Hathaway); and "American Girl" at Paramount. She also sourced and helped sell the short story "The Barrier" for Edward Berger and his production company Nine Hours, leading to an 11-way bidding war between studios and streamers that eventually resulted in a winning seven-figure bid from 20th Century Studios.
