A Journey Through Talent Representation: From Abrams to Gersh and Beyond
Rebecca Rusheen embarked on her career in talent management back in 2019, initially with Abrams, an agency that later evolved into A3 Artists Agency. Her professional trajectory then led her to the Gersh Agency in 2024, a move that followed Gersh's acquisition of A3's digital and non-scripted departments. Throughout these transitions, Rusheen consistently demonstrated a remarkable aptitude for cultivating the careers of digital creators, guiding them from online recognition to significant achievements in traditional media.

Feldman's collaborations include major film campaigns for blockbusters like Barbie, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and Fast X, alongside high-profile events such as Cannes, the Golden Globes, and the Oscars. Additionally, Feldman's short film, Wait, Your Car?, featuring stars like Whitney Peak and Ruby Cruz, made its debut at Cannes. Rusheen also played a key role in developing Yesly Dimate's career, transitioning the TikTok and Instagram personality into acting roles in the romantic comedy Before We Begin and the crime thriller Eugene the Marine, while also securing endorsement deals with luxury brands like Calvin Klein, Dior, Gucci, and Miu Miu.
