Broder Webb Chervin Silberman Agency's production department has rejected company plans to merge with ICM. A team of production reps, led by veteran Agent Jay Gilbert, instead is in the process of setting up shop at Paradigm. Gilbert is in final negotiations to join Paradigm as co-head of production with the agency's Frank Balkin. Balkin and Gilbert together will oversee Paradigm's physical production department, with the latter overseeing film and the former handling television. Making the movie with Gilbert are former BWCS agents Gil Harari and Lesley Feinstein. BWCS senior agent Hillarie Roope is not expected to make the transition. The status of her clients was uncertain Monday. Paradigm's production department now is expected to employ seven agents while representing about 200 clients. The agency also recently hired commercial and music video rep Jeannine Angelique, who joined Balkin, Jason Pagni and Pattie Lofton in the production department.
