ICE Model Talent Management

Avoid this company like the plague. Especially when they are paired with Barbizon. My daughter went to one of their «talent searches» in Indianapolis. She passed the audition and we signed her up for what was supposed to be 64 hours of modeling and acting classes, a professional photoshoot and entry in their showcase that we were promised would be in Indianapolis in the fall. The cost for this was a $ 695 registration fee and a total cost of around $ 2200.
The whole time they were very slow with any communication; most of the time it would go more than a month between emails and the classes were held very sporadically. Most of the time they would only give us a day or 2 notice of a class being held. Even though they said they wanted to rush the girls through the classes to get them signed right away, it took from May until August for them to hold the 4 modeling classes. We were then told they would have 4 acting classes with a «recognizable Hollywood actor». We didn’t hear anything for 7 weeks, they then held one of the 4 classes with an unknown teacher and then we never heard from them again.
So from what we were promised, they held 40 of the 64 hours of classes, never had the photoshoot and didn’t have the Showcase. I tried repeatedly to get them to make good on the contract and I received an email from one lady saying she thought they were finished and that the head of the agency would call, which of course, she never did. I finally got hold of her the week before Thanksgiving and she asked me to send her an email. I did, but she has never responded. The only things they ever did well was collect the money and lie to us. Although I am not litigious, we are now in process of filing a breach of contract lawsuit against them.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this company at all costs!
