Philippa Price–a London-born, L.A.-based multi-disciplinary creative and director behind forward-thinking film, fashion, and live visual experiences–has joined Superprime’s roster of filmmakers for commercial representation in the U.S..
Price’s distinctive blend of futuristic surrealism is rooted in an early love of science and design, which she pursued at Parsons School of Design in NYC Upon graduation, she returned to Los Angeles to work at Commune Design, specializing in architecture and graphics. Price then went on to launch Guns Germs $teal (GG$), a boundary-defying menswear label that quickly drew international acclaim from Vogue, Women’s Wear Daily and Vice, among others.
In 2014, Price established herself in filmmaking, becoming the visionary force behind campaigns, music videos, performances, and tours. She has worked with a wide variety of artists including, Rihanna, Pharrell Williams, Alicia Keys, Camila Cabello, Grimes, as well as brands such as Stella McCartney, Puma, Balmain, Savage x Fenty, Playboy, Apple Music, and Absolut Vodka. She was named one of “The Daring 25” by Condรฉ Nast in 2016, which recognized the most intrepid people, companies, and innovators of the year.
“As a creative and a director, I seek the lushness of primal essences and emotions against the backdrop of the not-so-distant future,” said Price. “I see myself and my work as in a constant state of growth, and Superprime has created a creative-centered space in which I can continue to thrive, experiment, and evolve.’’
Michelle Ross, managing director/EP of Superprime, said, “Philippa has proven to be a force of nature, conceptualizing and launching some of the most memorable installations and visual art of the modern era. We are inspired to further explore her full range of talents in the world of advertising and branded content.”
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.
