Production company Little Minx has added to its roster the directing duo Los Perez, consisting of Tania Verduzco and Adrian Perez.
Los Perez joins Little Minx after having written, directed, edited, and scored a variety of spots for numerous brands. Their distinctly quirky, colorful, and comedic style spans work for such clients as Pepsi, Adidas, BBC, and L’Oreal.
Their campaigns for Low Cost Festival and Chimo Bayo DXM were acknowledged as two Best Works in Spanish Advertisement by Club de Creativos. Further, the duo gained inclusion into SHOOT’s 2013 New Directors Showcase and turned heads by winning the silver awards at LIA and ADCE, as well as gold at the Laus Awards. Back when selected for SHOOT’s New Directors Showcase, the Los Perez duo was with production company Cortez Brothers, the filmmakers’ roost prior to joining Little Minx.
In their solo pursuits, Verduzco and Perez are formidable artists in a variety of media. Verduzco has earned substantial acclaim for her short films Pin-Up and Impact, with the latter winning her second-place in the Young Director Awards at Cannes Film Festival. Perez splits his time between film and music, acting as the lead singer/songwriter of the popular Spanish indie-rock band CatPeople, for which Los Perez directs music videos.
Little Minx founder Rhea Scott said of Los Perez, “There’s so much vision and passion layered in everything they do and we can’t wait to see how their signature style and voice manifest next.”
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
