David Mamet Signs with Aéro Film

David Mamet, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and Academy Award-nominated film writer/director, has signed on with Aéro Film for commercial representation. Renowned throughout the industry for such critically acclaimed classics as “The Postman Always Rings Twice”, “Glengarry Glen Ross” and “Hoffa”, and legendary within theater circles, Mamet will add his singular voice and storytelling prowess to the already versatile Aéro team.

 

“David is a creative force that brings a wealth of talent and experience to our clientele,” says Executive Producer Lance O’Connor. “We’ve admired his career for longer than we can remember and we can’t wait to work with him going forward.”

 

This creative representation allows him to explore commercial projects reminiscent of his 2007 Ford spots while continuing his film and theater work. “David is incredibly versed in those other formats and we feel that as the line between Hollywood, Broadway, and advertising continues to blur, Aéro has to evolve as well,” explains O’Connor. “We have no doubt that with time and dedication, we can help David grow in the way he wants to grow and create compelling advertising.”

 

“Filmmaking is The Big Doll House. It is the world’s best fun, the unwritten proviso regarding repayment is: do the best you can,” stated Mamet. “Commercials are particularly intriguing. Whether or not they are art I can’t say; but they certainly are drama.” Mamet joins Aéro Film’s already illustrious and talented pool of directors, including “Girl, Interrupted” and “Walk the Line” director James Mangold, along with a host of producers, cinematographers, VFX specialists, and editors. His upcoming HBO Films biopic “Phil Spector”, starring Al Pacino and Helen Mirren, will debut this March.
