PANELIST BIO

Brittany Stone -  Prior to becoming an agent, Brittany Stone spent over 15 years working on independent film festivals, both domestically and internationally. Brittany co-founded LoveStone Talent Agency in 2015. She had worked with her business partner at boutique agency and took some time off to pursue her law degree, focusing on Entertainment Law. During her tenure at Southwestern Law School, she worked with companies including NBCUniversal & RKO Pictures, and worked closely with the general counsel at Lionsgate. After becoming an attorney she missed being an agent and wanted to work on the creative side of the industry again.
