Barcelona-based director Pablo Maestres has joined Superprime for U.S. representation. His work spans such global brands as Volkswagen, Minecraft and Fanta. Maestres' attention to detail and use of complex choreography are particularly evident in his campaign for Smirnoff Seltzer. And the director's recent work for Netflix and Endesa showcases dynamic camerawork, clever sound design, and a hint of humor that captivates viewers’ attention.
Starting out as a photographer in the Barcelona music scene, Maestres showed a talent for visual storytelling that soon paved the way for a thriving career as a highly sought-after music video director. His work has been recognized at numerous festivals and award shows including SXSW, D&AD, YDA in Cannes, Ciclope, and UKMVA.
Prior to coming aboard the Superprime roster, Maestres was repped by Rattling Stick in the U.S. market. He continues to be repped by Spy Films in Canada, and PRIMO in Spain, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Mexico.
“Pablo brings such a fresh and dynamic element to the commercial film world,” said Michelle Ross, managing director of Superprime.“We’re excited to welcome him to Superprime and look forward to amplifying his talent in the commercial space.”
Maestres said he's enthused over joining Superprime where he can "continue to create unique and innovative work for the U.S. market. I have always been impressed by the company's commitment to making meaningful and thought-inspiring content, and I look forward to collaborating. I believe there is no better place to develop ideas."
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
