A few months ago a friend asked me to form a prouction company with him. I readily agreed as I want to advance in the business. I'm not getting anywhere as an actor and want to move into directing, producting and writing. I got business cards, we put up a site and I added a forum to it, all in an effort to raise our profile.

He's quite a bit younger than I am and recently got his SAG card. Now he tells me that his LA agent says he cannot be involved as it is a conflict of interests.

Is that right? Can someone let me know? I don't even know if anyone reads this.
