CAA’s Bryan Diperstein Joins Adventure Media Management & Production Company As Partner

EXCLUSIVE: Motion picture agent Bryan Diperstein is leaving CAA to join literary-focused management and production company Adventure Media as a partner.

Diperstein is expected to continue to represent many of his existing lit clients in his new role as a manager as well as help further expand Adventure’s business into sports and broadcasting representation. Agency-wise, his clients are all expected to stay at CAA.

The move reunites Diperstein with Adventure Media founding partners Chris von Goetz and James Robins Early as well as fellow Adventure Media partner Melissa Orton-Cortez. All four were agents at ICM. Von Goetz and Robins Early left on the eve of the agency’s acquisition by CAA in 2022 to launch Adventure while Orton-Cortez and Diperstein transitioned to CAA. She departed the agency to join Adventure last year.

“We are thrilled to welcome our longtime friend Bryan ‘Dip’ to the team as our partner,” Orton-Cortez, Robins Early, and von Goetz said. “Dip’s reputation is unmatched and his dedication to his clients aligns perfectly with our mission as we continue to expand Adventure. We look forward to what we will achieve together.”

Diperstein is segueing to management after a 15-year career in the agency business. He most recently was in the motion picture department of CAA. Prior to joining the agency in 2022, he spent over a decade at ICM working within the talent and literary departments.

“Chris, James and Melissa have built a thriving business built on a collaborative and creative environment for artists, and I am excited by the opportunities to further expand our shared vision,” Diperstein said.

Adventure Media’s ranks include manager Matt Klasco who also worked at ICM early in his career. Aaliyah Williams, who co-founded the company with von Goetz and James Robins Early, has returned to producing though her Just a Rebel company while continuing to work with Adventure on a few projects.

Clients of Adventure Media have recently been nominated for and won Emmys, Golden Globes and WGA Awards.
