- Sean Woods has launched Intangible, a Los Angeles-based management and production company representing writers, directors, and actors.
- The move follows nearly eight years as a manager/producer at Fourward, and six years before that at ROAR.
- Intangible opens with five clients: Brendan McCarthy, Chidi Ajufo, Angela Bourassa, Teresa Sutherland, and Polly Bennett.
- Woods says the company is built to "identify and champion talent" as storytelling mediums keep evolving.
Sean Woods has launched Intangible, his own management and production company based in Los Angeles. The new venture reps writers, directors, and actors, with a focus on creatives bridging traditional media and evolving storytelling formats.
The launch caps nearly eight years for Woods at Fourward, the talent management and production advisory firm. Before that, he spent six years at ROAR.
“There has never been a more exciting time to be a storyteller. And it’s never been more competitive,” Woods said in a statement. “Intangible is built to identify and champion talent, create momentum, and amplify singular voices and stories, regardless of medium.”
Intangible opens with five clients. Brendan McCarthy, a writer on Grace and Frankie, is developing the family drama Six Days to Sunday for HBO Max alongside Alex Kavallierou and Marta Kauffman’s Okay Goodnight.
Chidi Ajufo recently wrapped a role opposite Kristen Stewart and Wagner Moura in A24’s vampire thriller Flesh of the Gods. Angela Bourassa has a novella releasing later this year through 831 Stories, and Teresa Sutherland has set up an original script at Screen Gems. Rounding out the roster is Polly Bennett, the movement director currently working across Sam Mendes‘s Beatles biopics.
Woods’ exit adds to a busy stretch of reps going independent in 2026. It echoes Raquelle David’s launch of New Story to champion filmmaker-driven storytelling after leaving Lit Entertainment Group, and mirrors moves like Jeffrey Chassen’s launch of Gingham PR out of Vision PR and Michael Bryan’s launch of Southern Drift after exiting Apple Music.
Takeaways
Woods isn’t a first-timer figuring things out; he’s bringing nearly 14 years of dealmaking experience from two established shops into a founder-led venture, and a five-client roster that already spans film, TV, and books signals Intangible won’t stay siloed to one medium.
That cross-format bet lines up with what’s happening elsewhere in the industry right now: New Story, Southern Drift, and Gingham PR are all founder-led operations built by people betting that closer client relationships beat agency scale.
Will Intangible stay boutique, or does Woods eventually want to build something closer to Fourward’s scale? Could more of Woods’ former Fourward clients follow him to Intangible in the coming months?
