was wondering if it is important to get myself an agent, to find work.
Not at all.
Having an agent at your early stage might even be a hindrance.
Agents only get paid if you get paid so they tend to turn down low
paying jobs. Now if you are being offered several good paying jobs
a year and need an agent to field offers and get the best deal,
then it's importand.
If you are not currently in demand, but a building your experience
it is a good idea to direct pretty much anything you are offered.
Even if it’s a music video for expenses only or a short film for
no pay at all. An agent will discourage that.
And with only one short film completed, you aren’t currently a
client that is attractive to most agents. Or do you have a lot of
offers?
