Agency Info

Teresa is the founder of  Teresa May Agency, as she learned about the growth of the filming industry and the need to recruit Principal Actors and Movie Extras, there had been no other registered talent agency in the Okanagan. Many people she connects with in her large network of friends, associates and colleagues have interest in doing something fun, a little different for a little extra income while learning about the movie industry. Teresa has been part of the movie industry herself for over 30 years from the East Coast of Halifax to the West Coast of Vancouver and 5 years in Northern California, mainly in doing Background Extras, Commercials, Modelling and Marketing in business as well as connection within the community. So with her determination of carving out a new path, reinventing herself, Teresa May Agency became the 111th  BC licensed Talent Agency and the first in the Okanagan. Teresa has always immersed herself in distinct careers, community services and social activities that resulted in her diverse, successful career path.  Her motivation is to help others succeed by building relationships, making connections, and attaining the goals.
