The Cavalry Productions has retained Saxon+Partners to handle West Coast sales representation for the rapidly expanding company. The announcement was made by Executive Producers Ross Grogan and Chris Wedding. The company has expanded their directorial offerings, recently adding Gil Green, Bryce Gubler and Woodhead to the company.
"Chris and I are excited to have Saxon+Partners as part of the team," says Grogan. "In an industry built on reputation, finding someone to represent The Cavalry Productions, who share the same level of integrity and drive, is paramount. "Five minutes into our meeting, I knew Mary (principal at Saxon+Partners) understood how fast our industry is evolving and how traditional rep models are falling by the wayside. As we expand our sales presence, it was important to us that our reps understand the trajectory of both commercial and new media. Saxon + Partners sees the future, but with an understanding that it's still about building friendships and professional relationships through producing great content.
The recent signing of Woodhead by The Cavalry Productions piqued Saxon's interest in representing the company. "We had been tracking Woodhead's amazing internet success through skits like "Favre Rise" and "Get The Guys", both garnering over one million views. Then we reviewed the rest of the roster, which was equally as talented."
"The top brass (EPs, Wedding, Grogan and Director of Operations Leah Carnahan) has an impressive pedigree and clear vision of where the ad industry is going," says Saxon. "It's evidenced by their formidable foundations in both commercials and digital work. Their focus on creative solutions and consumer engagement aligns with how Saxon + Partners has continued to evolve, correctly positioning ourselves in a changing marketplace."

With the 2025 Oscars® season heating up, director Rachel Annette Helson, an alumni of the 2019 SHOOT New Directors Showcase, enters the race for Best Live Action Short Film with Good Daughter, a crime drama that stars Netflix alum Samantha Sloyan.
Good Daughter follows Rebecca (Sloyan), a woman who cons dementia patients by pretending to be their daughter – until the con catches up with her. The gripping narrative explores the rampant issue of financial exploitation of vulnerable seniors, and it’s personal for Helson.
“Both of my Grandmothers passed away from Alzheimer’s,” she shared. “My family spent lots of time in the memory care facilities with them, but not everyone was so lucky. I saw a lot of lonely, abandoned people who had few visitors and no one by their side as they were dying. Good Daughter grapples with complex moral questions as it looks at someone who gives time to patients in their last days – but takes valuables in return. And there’s a great reveal at the end that really brings it full circle.”
A huge part of the film’s success goes to lead actress Samantha Sloyan whose performance has been universally praised - and even won her the Best Actress award at Cindependent Film Festival as well as a Best Actress Nomination at Catalina Film Festival.
“Samantha brought the perfect blend of humanity, humor and nuance to the role,” said Helson. “Her performance will make you laugh and punch you in the gut. She’s truly a powerhouse.”
Sloyan has garnered accolades in recent years for playing characters that audiences love to hate. Most famously, she starred as Beverly Keane in the hit mini-series Midnight Mass, earning a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series by the... Read More
