CMN PPL Films Signs German Director Sylvie Weber

CMN PPL FLMS has announced the signing of Sylvie Weber for representation.

Sylvie’s films are steeped in poetic realism, like a delicate recording of the emotional conditions of humanity, its virtues and weaknesses. They often inherit a magical twist by taking refuge in her own paradise – her imagination.

Of German-Dominican descent, questions of belonging have been a driving force in her filmic exploration. Her ability to bend genres and seamlessly navigate between formats is often fuelled by a focus to shift our gaze and rework historical injustice. Her debut short, The Prophetess, has won and travelled several film festivals around the globe.

Emily Crofton-Atkins: “A delightful, versatile director. Sylvie’s able to capture real life stories, emotionally exploring difficult topics and equally have a strong visual style on short form live action. We’re really looking forward to collaborating.”

Sylvie Weber: “I'm excited to partner with Common People, a company that has a reputation of supporting and helping their artists execute their best vision. I can’t wait to start our artistic journey together.”
