Academy Films, one of the industry-leading UK production companies and home of directing heavyweights such as Seb Edwards, Jonathan Glazer, and Frederic Planchon, is heading for new shores on the German market and announces a new collaboration with production company REPRESENT Film.
REPRESENT, which recently emerged out of Wanda Germany in 2019, will now exclusively represent a bespoke selection of Academy’s roster of directors (including the above named) on the German market.
Academy was named D&AD's Production Company of the Year 2019 and just brought home a total of seven Cannes Lions, including a Gold Lion in Film, for Seb Edwards' 'The Boy & The Piano' for John Lewis, and a Silver Lion for Si&Ad’s 'The Others' for Volkswagen, co-produced with Wanda Paris.
Mandy Kothe, founder and MD at REPRESENT, says: "We are honored that Simon & Medb (Academy MDs) give us their trust to represent their amazing talents on the German market. I feel deeply connected to Academy’s DNA, having the utmost respect for Academy being for 35 years at the top of the industry. I can’t wait to work together with these great people and incredible directors like Seb Edwards, Jonathan Glazer and Frederic Planchon and up and coming Si&Ad and Us but also help to develop Academy’s extremely talented newcomers, such as Nadia or Billy Boy Cape, with creative projects coming out of Germany!"
