People Store | About Us
Rebecca Shrager | Owner-Agent | rebecca@peoplestore.net
Rebecca recognized her uncanny ability to match the right face to the right project while working as a stylist and production coordinator in the late 1970’s and early 1980s. Realizing the need in the Atlanta market for a more diverse range of talent, Rebecca utilized her background from the Atlanta College of Art, and went out into the community to photograph interesting faces. She then contacted local theater companies, and discovered an untapped source of talent not yet integrated into the world of film and advertising. In September 1983, Rebecca opened the doors of People Store.Through her leadership and guidance over the past 26 years People Store has grown into one of the most successful and well respected talent agencies in the Southeast. People Store has been in the forefront of the industry opening the boundaries between Atlanta, New York and LA. In 2002 The Talent Group and Hot Shot Kids joined forces with People Store, creating a multi-million dollar agency representing the most talented and seasoned adult and child actors in the southeast. Rebecca lives with her husband Phil and their dog Lilly in Midtown.

Alex White | TV/Film Agent | alex@peoplestore.net
Alexander White, having graduated from Loyola University in 2009 with a degree in Music Industry Studies (virtually a BA with an emphasis on the entertainment industry) moved back to Atlanta pursuing a career in talent representation. Alexander originally landed a job with HWY-1 Productions working on the development side of the business sinking his teeth into the acquisitions and funding of various TV and Film projects specific to the southeast. Following a successful run with HWY-1, he began canvassing for positions where he could use the newly acquired skills in conjunction with his original passion for the exploitation of true talent. He would find this after reconnecting with long time friend and former professor Jay Freer and wife Rhoda Griffis. Alexander was introduced to People Store in June of 2010 and six months later was blessed to be offered a full time position with the agency. Since then he has become an agent in the film and television department.
