    LOS ANGELES --

    Production studio Lord Danger has signed three directors–Amr Singh and director-photography duo Marlyne and Patrick Curtet (MP Curtet)–for U.S. representation spanning commercials and branded content. 

    This marks Singh’s first production company roost in the U.S. market. M&P Curtet have been focused primarily on their stills work and hadn’t been previously repped for motion.

    Singh and MP Curtet join a Lord Danger directorial roster which includes Mike Diva, Lawrence Lamont, Parker Seaman, and Steven Taylor. 

    Originally from South Africa, Singh has worked with leading creative agencies and brands globally. His experience also extends to Hollywood, directing A-listers including Kevin Hart. Singh’s work has garnered critical acclaim as well as a Van Gough Award at the Amsterdam International Film Festival, and a Gold Craft for Directing from the Promax Awards. 

    “Amr has an affinity for making things that move people, audiences, and culture. His ability to master craft across genres like travel, and product, makes him a perfect addition to the team,” said Josh Shadid, Lord Danger’s executive producer and founder. “We’re excited to introduce Amr to the US market and show off what the rest of the world already has come to know.” 

    Marlyne and Patrick Curtet, a Los Angeles-based French couple, have combined their talents to bring an innovative approach to multidisciplinary campaigns across automotive, luxury, and fashion. Their body of work encompasses campaigns in more than 70 countries including China, Tanzania, Croatia, Peru and Mongolia. MP Curtet’s latest work has been for Cadillac, Nissan, Genesis, Jeep and Volkswagen, among others. As experts in blending craft, design, and technology with luxury brands, MP Curtet will help usher Lord Danger into new territory.

    “Marlyne and Patrick are aficionados of the modern creative toolkit, constantly retooling their approach to continually integrate new creative technologies into their arsenal,” said Shadid. “They’ve mastered the art of capturing striking photographic composition and finish into movement, and we’re looking forward to showing the world all that they’re capable of as part of the Lord Danger directorial team.”

    Raoul Peck Resurrects A Once-Forgotten Anti-Apartheid Photographer In “Ernest Cole: Lost and Found”

    Friday, November 22, 2024

    When the photographer Ernest Cole died in 1990 at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer at a Manhattan hospital, his death was little noted.

    Cole, one of the most important chroniclers of apartheid-era South Africa, was by then mostly forgotten and penniless. Banned by his native country after the publication of his pioneering photography book "House of Bondage," Cole had emigrated in 1966 to the United States. But his life in exile gradually disintegrated into intermittent homelessness. A six-paragraph obituary in The New York Times ran alongside a list of death notices.

    But Cole receives a vibrant and stirring resurrection in Raoul Peck's new film "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found," narrated in Cole's own words and voiced by LaKeith Stanfield. The film, which opens in theaters Friday, is laced throughout with Cole's photographs, many of them not before seen publicly.

    As he did in his Oscar-nominated James Baldwin documentary "I Am Not Your Negro," the Haitian-born Peck shares screenwriting credit with his subject. "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found" is drawn from Cole's own writings. In words and images, Peck brings the tragic story of Cole to vivid life, reopening the lens through which Cole so perceptively saw injustice and humanity.

    "Film is a political tool for me," Peck said in a recent interview over lunch in Manhattan. "My job is to go to the widest audience possible and try to give them something to help them understand where they are, what they are doing, what role they are playing. It's about my fight today. I don't care about the past."

    "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found" is a movie layered with meaning that goes beyond Cole's work. It asks questions not just about the societies Cole documented but of how he was treated as an artist,... Read More
