    Jo Arghiris has joined MPC’s Los Angeles studio as executive producer for VFX. In her new role Arghiris will work closely with managing director Andrew Bell and alongside executive producer Elexis Stearn to build and strengthen client relationships, oversee operations, and manage production teams.

    Arghiris began her career in production at MPC in London and has over 15 years of VFX advertising experience. Before rejoining MPC, she has moved up the ranks at The Mill working across London, New York, and most recently Los Angeles as an executive producer where she has led projects with leading agencies, including Deutsch, Goodby Silverstein & Partners, 180LA, Wieden+Kennedy and TBWA Chiat Day.

    Over the course of her career, Jo’s work has garnered prestigious awards, including a Silver Lion at Cannes, two Yellow Pencils at D&AD, a Gold CLIO and a Gold at the One Show. Her wealth of experience spans working with prominent directors, including Traktor, Nicolai Fuglsig, Jake Scott, Stacy Wall, Dante Ariola, Harold Einstein, and Jim Jenkins on campaigns for leading brands such as Nike, Budweiser, Adidas, Target, and Coca-Cola. Notably, Arghiris was instrumental in pushing the scope for award-winning projects, including Tooheys “The Quest” directed by Garth Davis at Exit Films and PlayStation’s “Greatness Awaits” directed by Rupert Sanders of MJZ.

    “Jo’s appointment will continue MPC’s reputation for high-end VFX while setting the forward trajectory for our expanding business,” said Bell. “Her unique global perspective and extensive knowledge of every facet of production, as well as a solid track record in business development makes her a perfect addition to MPC.”

    Director Kacper Larski Joins RSA Films For Spot Representation

    Tuesday, November 12, 2024

    RSA Films has added director Kacper Larski to its roster for commercial representation in the U.S. Larski is known for his work in automotive and sport, and a style of filmmaking which features epic visuals and gripping montage, often combining the real and surreal. Among his most recent commercial films are Garmin’s “Fenix 8” (direct to brand), U.S. Army Reserve’s “Helper” (DDB Chicago) and Bushmills Whiskey’s “Follow No One” (Mekanism).

    Larski’s distinctive aesthetic emerged in one of his first projects, Land Rover’s “68 Years Later,” which won a Cannes Young Directors Award in 2016. Two years later, he directed the “Greatness is Rare” campaign for BBDO Toronto and the Canadian Paralympic Committee which won Cannes Lion Gold. Prior to joining RSA, Larski had most recently been repped in the U.S. market by production house Eleanor.

    “Kacper is one of the most exciting filmmakers I’ve seen over the last several years,” said Luke Ricci, president, RSA Films US. “Whether it’s a character, an emotion, an environment, car or other product, he has a special and distinctive way of capturing and articulating the world around him in all his work. He is a fantastic addition to our RSA family.”

    “Joining RSA is a dream come true,” Larski said. “The roster includes some of the best filmmakers in the world, with founder Ridley Scott... Read More
