Partizan has added filmmaker Martin Holzman to its roster for representation in the U.S., U.K., France and Canada. This marks Holzman’s first time being repped in the U.S. market.
In his young career, Holzman has come to be defined by visionary storytelling and a commitment to captivating audiences. His passion for getting laughs and crafting narratives that resonate deeply with viewers earned him three Lions at Cannes in 2023 for his Quilmes Beer “Coincidences” spot (co-directed with Augusto Giménez Zapiola via production company ARGENTINACINE) out of AB InBev agency Draftline in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Additional critical acclaim was garnered for Axe’s “Oops, I Forgot This at Your Place Collection” where guys who misquote Socrates and talk about crypto use the George Constanza-inspired move of leaving their scent behind on “forgotten” clothing items.
Partizan founder Georges Bermann said, “Martin brings a unique and captivating point of view to Partizan’s roster. His sense of humor is a clever match for the cinematic tone of his films, and his vision aligns with our commitment to storytelling excellence.”
“Collaborating with Partizan is an exhilarating step forward in my artistic journey,” remarked Holzman. “Their commitment to pushing the envelope aligns perfectly with my own creative ethos, and I am excited to explore new horizons and bring fresh narratives to life.”
Born in Buenos Aires, Holzman went on to begin film school at the age of 5 when he would beg his mother to take him to Blockbuster Video to escape the heat. Proper cinematic studies would be completed later at Universidad del Cine, in Buenos Aires.
Holzman is a globetrotter who can be found in various time zones, always with fast internet and good coffee. Recent clients include BBDO, MullenLowe, AXE, Cazadores Tequila, and Quilmes Beer. He is represented by Partizan across all offices.
Carrie Coon Relishes Being Part Of An Ensemble–From “The Gilded Age” To “His Three Daughters”
It can be hard to catch Carrie Coon on her own.
She is far more likely to be found in the thick of an ensemble. That could be on TV, in "The Gilded Age," for which she was just Emmy nominated, or in the upcoming season of "The White Lotus," which she recently shot in Thailand. Or it could be in films, most relevantly, Azazel Jacobs' new drama, "His Three Daughters," in which Coon stars alongside Natasha Lyonne and Elizabeth Olsen as sisters caring for their dying father.
But on a recent, bright late-summer morning, Coon is sitting on a bench in the bucolic northeast Westchester town of Pound Ridge. A few years back, she and her husband, the playwright Tracy Letts, moved near here with their two young children, drawn by the long rows of stone walls and a particularly good BLT from a nearby cafe that Letts, after biting into, declared must be within 15 miles of where they lived.
In a few days, they would both fly to Los Angeles for the Emmys (Letts was nominated for his performance in "Winning Time" ). But Coon, 43, was then largely enmeshed in the day-to-day life of raising a family, along with their nightly movie viewings, which Letts pulls from his extensive DVD collection. The previous night's choice: "Once Around," with Holly Hunter and Richard Dreyfus.
Coon met Letts during her breakthrough performance in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe?" on Broadway in 2012. She played the heavy-drinking housewife Honey. It was the first role that Coon read and knew, viscerally, she had to play. Immediately after saying this, Coon sighs.
"It sounds like something some diva would say in a movie from the '50s," Coon says. "I just walked around in my apartment in my slip and I had pearls and a little brandy. I made a grocery list and I just did... Read More
