Alex Platis has made his next move, officially joining Game Plan Media as a literary manager. He departs Untitled Entertainment after more than nine years, during which he climbed from assistant to manager. Deadline
Platis brings a strong client base to his new home, including filmmaker Amanda Kramer, whose drama By Design premiered at Sundance in 2025, and Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning writer-director Michael Cristofer (Fallout, The Great Lillian Hall).
Also on his roster are Ryan Michael Johnson (Chicago Med), Maia Henkin (Suits LA), and two-time Black List screenwriter Daisygreen Stenhouse.
His producing credits are just as notable. He exec produced HBO’s The Great Lillian Hall, which nabbed a WGA Award and drew SAG and Critics’ Choice nominations.
This signing follows a broader trend of experienced reps moving to newer boutique firms, similar to Elizabeth Wiederseim’s move to Paradigm Talent Agency and Hannah Davis joining CAA from WME.
Game Plan Media was launched in November 2025 by Evan Corday, Matthew Ellis, and Bradford Bricken, all former partners at Evoke Entertainment. The company reps creators, writers, directors, and animation talent, and Corday previously served as Head of Television at Evolution Management for 14 years.
The Game Plan partners said they are “beyond thrilled” to have Platis on board, citing his creative instincts and passion for client advocacy.
Takeaways
This move says a lot, not just about Alex Platis, but about the kind of company Game Plan Media is quickly becoming.
Less than six months after launching, they’ve landed a manager with a decade of experience, a proven production track record, and a client list that already has awards heat behind it. For a boutique lit shop still building its identity, that’s a serious statement.
For Platis, the timing is telling. Nine years at Untitled Entertainment, rising from the bottom up, and then choosing to bet on a brand-new shop rather than a legacy firm? That speaks to the appeal of getting in early on something with real momentum.
And Game Plan’s founders aren’t rookies; Corday, Ellis, and Bricken have collectively spent decades building rosters and producing projects at the highest levels.
The bigger picture? We’re watching a shift in Hollywood representation. Experienced managers with strong client loyalty are increasingly choosing smaller, culture-first companies over institutional giants.
Will Platis’ full client roster follow him to Game Plan Media, and what does that mean for Untitled Entertainment’s lit division going forward? Is Game Plan Media positioning itself to become one of the go-to boutique management firms for film and TV literary talent in the next few years?
