Hollywood, CA, September 13, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​​​​​After 30 years of experience in media, it made perfect sense for Dawn Marie Larkin to open her own talent company in Hollywood, California. This year she has launched D2D Talents with a focus on providing the best talent management services to her clients and make sure they get the best jobs available. With a focus on talent, diversity, work ethics and core values she has already acquired a handful of top actors from all over the world. 

With 30 years of experience at CBS Dawn Marie is currently working on this new venture in collaboration with top Entertainment Attorney Robert Pafundi who is the principal of Pafundi Law Firm, APC. He is a very experienced and highly regarded Hollywood entertainment attorney who owned and operated a boutique Hollywood talent agency, MGA Talent, historically known for launching the careers of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, among countless other child and young adult TV and Film stars. One of their first up and coming actresses in the new D2D talent agency is Elisha Kriis, an actress, model and T.V. show host from India. "After watching several of her performance videos from previous TV shows and feature films, I approached her for representation. I invited her for a quick introductory meeting that ended up lasting several hours. She shared her vision of being able to reach out and inspire audiences world wide through her work. She is young, driven and extremely hard working. What I love about her the most is that she is an absolute team player and her ability to inspire everyone who works around her." states Dawn Marie Larkin. 

"What drives me is the ability to make a difference in peoples lives and bring those stories to their full potential. I love all people, religions and cultures. I want to support all diversities through entertainment not only in the U.S., but throughout the world."
