    Director and interactive artist Uri Schutzer has signed with The-Artery for international representation. He had previously been handled in the U.K. by John Spary Associates and in The Netherlands by Revolver Amsterdam. Schutzer continues to be repped in Israel by Tami Har-lev Agency

    With an extensive background across advertising, music videos, interactive experiences, and more, Schutzer brings a contemporary, cinematic filmmaking style marked by an artful eye, deft camera movements, and special effects. His approach in the mixed reality space marries AR/VR projections and games with live performances. “I love exploring new tools and platforms both on-set and during postproduction as well as finding innovative ways to capture magical moments in storytelling,” said Schutzer. “In interactive experiences especially, storytelling is the most important thing. When branching visuals flow naturally with the rest of the narrative content, it creates amazing engagement with the audience.”

    Executive creative director Vico Sharabani, founder of The-Artery, assessed, ”Uri combines a fashionable style with cutting edge technologies as well as beauty with performance, such unique combinations are the foundation of The-Artery and, after working on the CG music video ‘Chosen’ together, we felt we needed to take this relationship to greater lengths.”

    “Chosen” was done for YouTube sensation, internet rock band The Living Tombstone (which was brought to life entirely through CG along with motion capture elements)

    Awarded with Effie and Promax accolades, Schutzer has directed commercials for such clients as Coca-Cola, Unilever, Orange, Nestle, and a wide range of fashion and cosmetic brands. His most notable pieces include the immersive “SDG Dome” and “SGD VR Experience” for PwC and the United Nations as well as the interactive “Keep Your Head Up” music video for singer and songwriter Andy Grammer. The latter garnered “Most Innovative Music Video” at MTV’s OMAs. 

    Schutzer was introduced to Sharabani several years ago when he first moved to New York. According to Schutzer, “Vico and I clicked immediately as we both shared the same passion and taste for high-end aesthetics, film, and innovation. I was impressed by his team’s level of execution and we started looking for the right opportunity to work together. During the difficult days of quarantine, our chance unexpectedly arose in the form of a music video for The Living Tombstone. We had a highly collaborative dynamic and couldn’t be more proud of the final compositions! I look forward to our next projects, both in the U.S. and abroad.”

    The-Artery managing director and executive producer Deborah Sullivan added, “We knew we wanted an artist who can not only follow our virtual production pipeline, but also offer fresh ideas to it as there’s always room for refinement. Uri, hands down, fills that role and we can’t wait for him to channel his interactive sensibilities into our upcoming creative briefs.”

    Director Kacper Larski Joins RSA Films For Spot Representation

    Tuesday, November 12, 2024

    RSA Films has added director Kacper Larski to its roster for commercial representation in the U.S. Larski is known for his work in automotive and sport, and a style of filmmaking which features epic visuals and gripping montage, often combining the real and surreal. Among his most recent commercial films are Garmin’s “Fenix 8” (direct to brand), U.S. Army Reserve’s “Helper” (DDB Chicago) and Bushmills Whiskey’s “Follow No One” (Mekanism). He’s also directed campaigns for Hyundai, Jeep, GMC, Subaru, VW, Mazda and Chevrolet.

    Larski’s distinctive aesthetic emerged in one of his first projects, Land Rover’s “68 Years Later,” which won a Cannes Young Directors Award in 2016. Two years later, he directed the “Greatness is Rare” campaign for BBDO Toronto and the Canadian Paralympic Committee which won Cannes Lion Gold. Prior to joining RSA, Larski had most recently been repped in the U.S. market by production house Eleanor.

    “The camera and film for me have always been about the ability to live 1,000 lives,” Larski said. “Stylistically, I want to transport viewers in whatever stories I’m telling--a super athlete’s runner’s high, a skier’s dream powder, a giant’s tale, even driving in space.”

    “Kacper is one of the most exciting filmmakers I’ve seen over the last several years,” said Luke Ricci, president, RSA Films US. “Whether it’s a character, an emotion, an environment, car or other product, he has a special and distinctive way of capturing and articulating the world around him in all his work. He is a fantastic addition to our RSA family.”

    “Joining RSA is a dream come true,” Larski said. “The roster includes some of the best filmmakers in the world, with founder Ridley Scott... Read More
