Greenpoint Pictures has added Australian director Patrick Fileti to its diverse roster of talent.
Fileti has created award-winning campaigns for brands such as Canon, Coca-Cola, Lexus, Shell, World Wildlife Fund and Porsche, among others, with agencies including JWT, TBWA, Ogilvy, Saatchi, and Leo Burnett. He has won international awards including a Grand Prix and Cannes Gold Lions, Clios, and One Show Pencils. His most recent film Inferno, an explosive documentary shot in Tultepec, Mexico, took home the Academy-accredited Best Short at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, as well as an exclusive premiere on Nowness.
Prior to joining Greenpoint, Fileti was repped in the U.S. by division7. He is currently represented by Spindle in the UK, Thirteen & Co. in Australia and New Zealand, Radke Films in Canada, and Caviar in Spain and Portugal.
Born in Italy, multi-lingual Fileti has lived all around the world, contributing to his singular visual language that offers an honest perspective and triggers deep cultural connection. His ambition to create authentic, emotionally charged content is rooted in his belief that imagery speaks to the soul of the viewer. Focused on intimate storytelling with an acute sensitivity to the human condition, the authenticity of his visual language offers uniquely honest perspectives that trigger connection. His ability to evoke heartfelt performances from real people and actors alike is evident throughout his body of work.
“Patrick is a perfect fit for our roster, as the work he’s been doing is very much in line with our company’s ethos,” said Trevor King, executive producer at Greenpoint Pictures.
Fileti, who splits his residency between Sydney, Australia, and NYC while working worldwide, said of the people at Greenpoint, “Their passion for filmmaking mirrors mine and their innovative approach to our business is refreshing.”
